Is Home Internet Prepared for the Summer Months?

We have nearly made it through half of another year. It seems we have just begun, and now Summertime is upon us. June has traditionally been a month where individuals and families make life decisions. Children grow up, become adults, and go off to college; Parents left behind may consider downsizing to save money. Adults could also move around with this new season with job changes. With all the status realignment, other needs shift, namely internet service during the Summertime. This is when the need for an internet service provider arises that is dependable, affordable, and fast.

Your Home Devices May Be Slowing Down Your Internet Connection

We live in a technologically connected world. It begins with a smartphone; nearly everyone has one. It has moved into the home with home devices like Google and Alexa. With just a simple voice command, we can start and stop a music playlist, get the weather forecast, or get a Chicken Parmesan recipe. They have evolved into security devices that protect you while you are home and away. All of these devices fall under an internet term called IoT, or Internet of Things. And when you have multiple devices in your home, all working at the same time, they may be slowing down your internet connection.

Why GiGstreem Needs to Be on the Top of Your Back-to-School Supply List!

Over the next few weeks, many students are returning to the classroom as the 2020-2021 school year begins. However, due to the continued concern of COVID-19, some school districts are remaining closed and offering remote learning, or a hybrid of classroom/remote learning. Either way, the face of education has changed for students for the foreseeable future. This means that parents need to prepare differently than they have in the past. You will need more than wide-ruled paper, pencils, and composition books. This year a reliable internet connection must be top of your back-to-school supply list.

Today’s Remote Worker Requires a Reliable Internet Connection.

The season of the daily grind is changing for the office worker: Days of punching a clock and working nine to five are being replaced by emails of hours worked and cloud-based systems, and hours spent in traffic and spilled coffee on the console are traded in for a warm sitting area and a familiar cup and coaster. And often, the employer is in favor of these changes, especially when it helps the bottom line. However, working from home requires certain amenities to be a success. Most important of these, the remote worker requires a reliable internet connection.

GiGstreem Has Something to Say about the Internet as a Commodity Debate

What if Internet Service Providers could regulate the websites you could see. What if they could legally keep you from accessing your favorite sites or slow the speed down for those sites alone? This is the core of the Net Neutrality debate. Net Neutrality is the system of laws that keep the internet a level playing field. It prevents larger ISPs from being able to buy their way to faster speeds over smaller companies.

Even with a top of the line smartphone, reception is difficult in such remote surroundings. Status updates, selfies, and videos streaming would all fail, and they would have to deal with several upset customers.

GiGstreem is proud to announce that we are the official internet provider for the N.S Savannah, the world’s first nuclear-powered merchant ship, located in the port of Baltimore, MD. The N.S Savannah was a demonstration project for the potential use of nuclear energy launched on July 21, 1959, and was 1 of only 4 nuclear-powered cargo ships in service between 1959 and 1971. The S.N. Savannah’s primary purpose was to demonstrate the peaceful uses of atomic power. In 1971 the N.S Savannah was de-fueled and after being moved around a few times, finally, found a home at the Canton Marine Terminal in Baltimore, Maryland.
