Why Your New Year Essentials Should Include Fast Internet Speeds

 

One thing we can all agree on is that 2020 was anything but normal. COVID-19 has changed the way we live many aspects of our lives, from our buying behavior to how we interact with one another. It’s looking like our traditions will inevitably be affected by the pandemic. That’s why equipping your home with faster internet speeds is more important than ever before.

An Internet Built for the Home

Picture this: While you’re hosting a virtual meeting with your coworkers on your desktop, your oldest child streams their favorite movie on their laptop and your youngest is working on schoolwork on their tablet. With all of this activity happening on the same wifi, your traditional internet connection is bound to reach its limits. Switching to a fiber-optic connection will give your house a wider bandwidth, so your family can carry on without interruption! Let’s take a look at some of the ways you are sure to benefit from faster internet speeds.

Video Chatting

With the pandemic putting a halt to many travel plans around the country, video chatting will be the primary way of connecting with family members who live out of state or colleagues. With a traditional internet connection, you run the risk of your video calls lagging and sounding choppy. By upgrading your internet speed, you’ll be sure to take advantage of every moment you are connected.

Enjoy Entertainment

Missing your favorite shows due to buffering issues?  No way! With fiber optic internet, you can binge-watch your favorite movies and shows with the highest clarity and do so without the added monthly bill or additional services that traditional television requires. You can also plan to enjoy a live-streaming shows from venues like the historic Alhambra Theater from the comfort of your home through their new virtual streaming platform.
