Increase Internet Speeds for Holiday Streaming
If you’re like most families, you likely stream more data in the winter months when it’s cooler, darker and being indoors feels more inviting and cozy. Additionally, the winter months often see a boost in streaming as people gather to celebrate the holidays, watch sports and football and even partake in movie marathons.
Before hosting any family events or get-togethers, it’s essential to review your internet speed needs. You may think one speed fits all your needs; however, this couldn’t be further from the truth, as the number of connected devices can significantly impact your internet speed.
Take the Internet Speed Test
To understand whether you need to increase internet speeds, take Home Telecom’s internet speed test.
Take Inventory of Your Connected Devices
Take inventory of how many connected devices you have in your home (before guests arrive). Do you have any smart appliances or small electronics? Do you have security cameras? Do you have multiple SmartTVs, gaming devices, laptops or computers? Do you have any exercise equipment that requires internet access? All of these devices take up part of your bandwidth, meaning you need to consider how they can affect your data streaming and require you to increase internet speeds.
