INTERNET SERVICE EXPLAINED

Jul 8, 2020 11:19:11 PM

How Do I Choose the Right Internet Service?

Now that high-speed Internet service is available in your area, it is important to select the service level that is right for you.  After all, you are paying for a service and have the right to know what you can expect so you can choose what best fits your lifestyle.

Little Miami Gig, LLC , your community based internet service provider, is offering an in ground fiber network bringing service choices of 100, 250, 500, and 1000mb(1 Gig).   How do you know what service to select?

The biggest lifestyle factors affecting the choice of speeds are the following:

  • Streaming TV Entertainment with Netflix, Apple TV. Obviously, none of this is available if you only have DSL and limited dependability with Cable.  Rural residents know this better than anyone
  • Children in school or college submitting homework—even before the Coronvirus pandemic stay at home
  • Telecommuting- the LM Gig has a tremendous amount of telecommuting job because of the high cost of physical commute. The higher service would be need for significant teleconferencing with multiple users or high data up and download from the cloud
  • Gaming with video is the highest consumer of data
  • Cutting the cord from cost of bundling with Satellite service(dish or Direct TV), internet, wireless hot spots

So what is your lifestyle and what should you choose?   Let us help:

              - 100mb- For todays lifestyle, a young couple or retired couple with only two people in the home with Satellite TV can have great service for two computers or iphones re webservice

              - 250mb-the recommended level of service that will consistently support Streaming  with multiple users (3 or more) with support for education with some telecommuting but limited business video conferencing

              - 500Mb-  Multiple users, high use of cloud with children in education and telecommuting.  Give consistent service for teleconferencing and cloud data transfers.  Ideal for tele-medicine re doctors, or large data files re architects, engineers—and many more professions you all represent

              - 1000mb/1 Gig- the most powerful and future proofed.   LM Gig can easily upgrade to this level and we predict 10-15% of residents will want this service level.   LM Gig offers this because businesses such as manufacturing, hospitals etc will want this level.   But residents and individuals in many cases are just like businesses so you accomplish and expand from your home

 

BUT WHAT ABOUT PRICE PER MONTH--CUTTING THE CORD WITH BUNDLED SERVICES- Pricing that saves you money every month with better service.

 

              At service levels at 250 mb and higher, you will be able to eliminate using  cell phone hot spots, satellite TV and your phone land line if you wish.   You  may have your reasons for keeping a phone hard line or satellite TV, and that’s fine.   However, the costs of these multiple services plus cellphone hotspots drive the budget over $200 per month without a highly dependable service.

 

              At service levels above 100 mb, you can make this move with confidence.  We hope this blog helps you understand the relationship between service levels and what you should expect from your Internet service.  If you are frustrated with your current Internet access and would like to take advantage of fast, reliable service to your home, please connect with Little Miami Gig online - .
