The use of Internet service has become a huge part of our lives. Whether you are working from home, streaming movies, playing video games, or shopping online, you need access to the Internet.
At LHTC Broadband, we not only have 100% fiber optic Internet services, but we offer speeds up to 1 Gigabit and all speeds are synchronous; the same upload and download speed. Finding the right Internet speed to match your households need is important. With the holiday’s right around the corner, new devices such as smart TV’s, tablets, gaming systems, doorbells, cameras, and cellphones are more than likely to be added to your home network. These new devices will likely require Internet access, and the more devices you are using in a household at the same time will likely increase the amount of bandwidth or speed needed to support a seamless experience.
We encourage you to periodically look at the Internet speed you have and see if it meets the needs of your household. To give you a better understanding of the Internet speeds LHTC Broadband offers, we have listed some examples below of what you can do with each speed.
