Between streaming, working remotely, digital homework, and simply staying connected, choosing the right Internet bundle for your home is a must.
So, how do you know you’re picking the right one?
We put together a checklist you can use to determine which Internet bundle is the best choice for your family.
Internet Bundle Checklist
Follow these steps to ensure your home Internet solution meets your needs.
1. Figure Out Your Internet Speed Needs
First things first, make a list of all of ways your family uses the Internet, and how often.
Ask yourself:
- How many devices are connected to the Internet? (Don’t forget smart home devices like doorbells, thermostats, and cameras.)
- How many of these devices does my family use at one time?
- What kind of activities are we using these devices for?
This will help you determine the Internet speeds that are best for your home.
If your household only uses a couple of devices for social media and minimal streaming, your Internet bundle won’t need to be super speedy.
However, if anyone works or learns from home, if someone is big into gaming, or if you have a lot of devices that require an Internet connection, you’re going to need faster speeds and reliable connectivity.
2. Decide on a Type of Connection
In addition to speed, think about the type of connection that fits your needs. The most common types of Internet connections are fiber, high-speed DSL, and wireless Internet.
Note that not all connection types may be available, depending on where you’re located.
3. Compare Available Internet Solutions
Next, look into the Internet bundles available to you. Which solutions offer the speeds and type of connection you are looking for?
Beyond Internet speed and connectivity, also consider:
- Reliability – Having a reliable connection is just as important as a fast one. Be sure to ask how often service outages occur. If there is an outage, how long will it take to get someone out to fix it? HTC ensures same-day or next-day support from local service technicians.
- Cost – When comparing pricing between Internet service solutions, don’t just consider the up–front costs. Be sure to look at installation fees, equipment prices, and what the cost will be following any introductory pricing periods. HTC is transparent about all of our pricing. Just give us a call at 618-939-6112!
- Data Limits – Review all the details of every plan you compare. Some providers place data caps or data limits in their plans, meaning that your service will become significantly slower after you reach a certain level of data usage. At HTC, you won’t find data limits on any of our Internet bundles!
- Customer Service – Even if you have extremely reliable Internet, you’ll likely need to talk to customer service a time or two. No matter which Internet bundle you choose, you can be sure HTC’s support team will be here to respond to questions and issues in a knowledgeable and timely manner.
4. Consider an Internet Bundle with Other Services
If you’re looking for further cost savings, look into Internet bundles that combine Internet with other services that you use, like phone and TV. These bundles typically feature a discount on each of the included services.
