Question 10

Which router do I need?

Accepted Answer

This can be a tricky question. Things to consider when choosing a router: How many devices (computers, smart TV’s, cell phones, smart home devices, tablets, etc.) will be connected through this router? How big is the home/business? Will you be doing any live gaming or streaming? Do you have a home security service that requires wifi to operate? All these are factors help in determining which router is best for you. Routers come with ratings which cover all these considerations. You should try to place the router in a centralized location in order to optimize signal throughout the home/business, but in large homes, you may opt for establishing multiple wifi access points (AP’s) for better performance.

Question 11

Does the number of devices connected to a wireless source impact the internet speed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The more bandwidth you have, the more devices you’re able to connect to your network at the same time. In addition, certain activities require more bandwidth to operate properly.

Question 12

Is the speed guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

No. Many factors can vary the actual bandwidth speed that the customer receives on their end, including number of devices connected to the network, the customer's devices, and the sites accessed. It is against our policy to “guarantee” a speed. (Plus it’s just impossible to do). Speed is measured at the modem, not through the customer's router or switch.

Question 13

Is service guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

Neither speeds nor service are guaranteed. Service interruptions may occur as the system may need to be repaired, upgraded, balanced or maintained in the regular course of business, and this may cause periodic service interruptions.Some of these interruptions may be out of our control.
