A fast, reliable Internet connection is essential to everything you do online – from remote work to online learning to streaming movies and more.
As more users and devices connect to your home network, you need faster Internet speeds capable of handling increased activity. A 100 Mbps plan may not be enough.
You may want to consider how an Internet plan with speeds up to 500 Mbps or 1 Gig can dramatically improve your online experience.
The FCC defines high-speed Internet as a minimum of 100 Mbps download speed and 20 Mbps upload speed. However, 100 Mbps may not be enough for a modern household.
Ask yourself:
If you answered yes to any of these questions, upgrading to 500 Mbps or 1 Gig could provide a transformative change.
A stable internet connection is essential for remote work, distance learning and streaming. Faster speeds ensure fewer dropped calls, higher-quality videos and no buffering – even during peak hours.
Faster Internet speeds are capable of handling multiple people streaming, gaming or working from home simultaneously. A 500 Mbps or 1 Gig plan ensures everyone can do what they need without slowdowns.
Online gaming and 4K or Ultra HD streaming require faster speeds and lower latency to prevent buffering, lag or blurry resolution. Faster Internet speeds ensure a smooth experience.
Smart home devices like voice assistants, security cameras and thermostats constantly send and receive data. Faster Internet speeds process that data more efficiently and prevent these device from slowing down your network.
Upgrading your Internet peed positively impacts a range of online activities.
Webpages, apps, videos and social media feeds load instantly, so you can stop wasting time.
Faster speeds allow you to seamlessly video conference, upload large files and run cloud-based apps without interruption.
A smart home requires 5 Mbps for every 10 devices—and double that for security cameras. A 500 Mbps or 1 Gig connection keeps everything running smoothly.
If you back up files, photos and videos to the cloud, a higher-speed plan ensures quick uploads and easy access from any device.
