How To Choose the Right Internet for Your Household
Spoiler Alert: It’s the 1 GB. And yes, in this case, bigger is better. In today’s world, having fast and reliable internet isn’t just convenient—it's essential for your day to run smoothly. It’s time to ditch outdated internet and switch to fiber to ensure your household or business has the proper bandwidth to stay connected to everything you need.
Megabyte (MB), Gigabyte (GB) and Bandwidth: A MB is “one million bytes” and a GB is “one billion bytes”. Bandwidth is the key to seamless connectivity for your TV, phones, and other devices you, your family or your guests use. More bandwidth means faster speeds, smoother streaming, and the ability to connect multiple devices without interruptions.
Bandwidth is what makes everything from watching live sports, to scrolling TikTok, to essential work video calls, or smart appliances operate simultaneously.
What That Means For You: The more bandwidth you have, the faster your connected devices can transfer data i.e. the more games you can play online, the faster you can stream (higher BW = less lag time), the more devices you can connect to the internet at one time without service disruptions.
So, how do you know our 1 GB fiber internet package is right for you? Ask yourself the questions below:
How many people are in your household? A household with children, teens or even visiting grandkids will need a lot of bandwidth to support all of the devices that connect to the internet. A 1 GB connection ensures no one misses a moment. This is CONXXUS’ most affordable package and a favorite amongst our customers.
How many devices are connected to the internet at one time? Modern households easily have 10+ devices consistently connected to the internet, utilizing bandwidth. With 1 GB speeds, your internet won't slow down when your smart TV, phone, tablet, and home security system are all online. This means if you want to prevent disruption in your internet service as more devices connect, you need to consider a 1 GB (or higher) package.
What is your internet used for? The more live streaming (think: remote meetings, video calls, gaming, live-streamed internet-based TV services), the more bandwidth will be used to power those experiences. For households or businesses with average streaming needs we recommend starting with the 1 GB package. For households with higher-than-average bandwidth needs, you may consider moving to a 2.5 or 5 GB package.
Why CONXXUS? Whether you select the 300MB, 1 GB, or choose the increasingly popular multi-gig packages (2.5 GB or 5 GB), with CONXXUS you can unlock speeds that match your household’s needs at an affordable price.
