Currently, with the global pandemic,
internet access has proven to be a lifeline instead of a luxury. One positive
thing that this pandemic has shown us is that even in such a developed country
such as the U.S. we are still dealing with antiquated infrastructure
technologies for internet service and communication. The internet provides
critical links and websites to information that can work to keep our families
safe and healthy during this global health issue. Not only does it provide us
with the tools to stay safe, but it is important for many of our children’s
online learning programs that are in place. Children with internet access that
drops out or is not reliable can cause them to fall behind in their education
path. It can also be very frustrating at times when doing things such as zoom
for class and your connection is less than adequate causing frequent tiling,
lost signal, and buffering. Many teachers in rural areas have been forced to
teach remotely and without a solid and stable connection, remote teaching can
sometimes be impossible. Another annoying issue people may see is with internet
service providers charging overages and not offering unlimited data to their
customers. For families who have multiple kids e-learning, or parents that work
from home as well, using up all the bandwidth in one day is a real issue. In
turn, these families are forced to buy more data from their ISP at gouged
prices. When you are working from home, your entire livelihood depends upon
your ISP’s ability to put you in touch with the rest of the world on the internet
reliably and repeatedly. Finding a reliable provider for internet is becoming a
huge factor into many lives as the pandemic has pushed many to work from home
or do schoolwork remotely. It is now important as ever for home buyers to select an area to live with reliable connection to the
internet.
Key points for a reliable internet
connection
·
Many
jobs and classrooms require daily online meetings. Having fast download and
upload speeds means that you can participate in those meetings rather than
trying to watch through lag and buffering issues.
·
Reliability
in terms of internet connection means that you can successfully get access to
the internet quickly and repeatedly. This allows you to meet deadlines and
lessen worry of not being able to get on at certain times of the day.
·
A
dedicated connection to your house helps ensure that your service doesn’t drop
in terms of bandwidth speed and reliability. This helps you stay connected and
keep a steady connection no matter what time of day it is or the weather.
Whether it’s in the morning or at night when many people are getting home from
work many cable and satellite companies’ infrastructure requires share
bandwidth with neighbors. At Mid Century Fiber we provide a dedicated connection to each customer’s router.
Unlike cable that’s stuck with a shared internal network design.
·
Upload
speed and capacity is something often overlooked by consumers. Since Zoom
meetings, and many programs for work and school rely on your ability to upload
files and stream video feeds it is important for your home internet service to
offer you excellent upload speeds and that are symmetrical to your download
speeds. Many companies offer high download speeds with very low upload speeds
as the infrastructure they are using is not capable of higher speeds. Having the ability to quickly upload
your data is critical. All our internet plans at Mid Century Fiber include
equal upload and download speeds.
·
Additionally,
another common variable with satellite internet and traditional cable
connections are overage fees. Watching out for bandwidth overage fees and data
limits are crucial when shopping for an internet service provider. These fees
can force consumers to have to purchase more data at gouged rates when they go
over their “limit”.
Here at Mid Century Fiber, we offer a
fiber fast internet connection that comes with symmetrical Download and Upload
speeds of up to One Gig, Zero Overage Fees, No Data limits/restrictions, as
well as No Contract. Questions? Give us a call at 309-778-3278.
