As summer winds down and your children head back to school, you might be preparing for life to get a little more hectic. Homework, afterschool activities, weekend hangouts, and more mean it’s important to stay connected.
But is your home’s Internet connection ready to keep up?
How to Make Sure Your Internet is Ready for the School Year
Whether researching an essay, keeping up with emails from teachers and coaches, or taking a break by streaming a show or video-calling a friend, going back to school often means increased Internet use for you and your kids.
It’s true – fewer people may be home to use the WiFi during the school day. But your Internet usage will likely skyrocket after school and on weekends!
And if you’re working remotely or have a child or young adult using remote learning, your WiFi won’t ever get a break.
Luckily, there are three things you can do to make sure your Internet is ready to keep up this school year:
1. Choose an Internet provider with top-tier customer service.
Reliable Internet service is a must when going back to school, especially when it comes to studying for the next test or submitting homework assignments on time.
But things do happen, and your Internet service can be interrupted for a number of reasons. Is your provider prepared to fix it in a timely manner?
HTC’s customer service team is ready to help 24×7, addressing any concerns or issues as quickly and efficiently as possible to get you back up and running.
2. Get the Internet speeds you need to go back to school.
The more devices you have actively using the Internet at any time, the faster your Internet needs to be. This especially holds true in today’s world, when having several devices online is common.
Check that your current Internet bundle provides the speeds and type of connection you need to keep all your devices running. If it doesn’t, HTC offers several Internet packages and bundles to fit your needs.
3. Install a high-powered router.
Make sure your high-speed Internet is available in every corner of every room by choosing a router that can expand coverage throughout your home.
For example, HTC’s Advanced WiFi program features the high-tech GigaSpire Blast WiFi router. In addition to a stronger WiFi signal and extended performance, the GigaSpire Blast also comes with enhanced network security and parental controls, giving you peace of mind when your children go online.
