With so many available options for high-speed Internet, it’s understandable if you sometimes feel confused trying to figure out which one is right for your family. Thankfully, the team at Horizon Telcom in Chillicothe, OH, offers advice to help families make the best selection.

These days, it seems that homes are filled with more Internet activity than ever before. From smartphones and tablets to home offices and online gaming, many homes often experience a decrease in Internet performance when multiple family members are attempting to use the Internet connection. For families with multiple heavy data users (especially homes where family members stream movies frequently or participate in online gaming), a higher speed package, a 10Mb connection or faster is best. 

Of course, not every home has the need for a ton of data usage. Many families only use their Internet connection to check email, surf the web, or stream an occasional video. In these cases, a lower-priced, slower speed Internet package will be more than adequate. Options such as a 1Mb or 3Mb package, allow families with low-to-moderate need for the Internet to enjoy reliable Internet service at an affordable price.

So how do you decide which Internet package is best for your home? Take a look at your family’s technology usage—the more you use, the faster Internet speeds you’ll need. Another good rule of thumb is to consider your satisfaction with your current Internet speeds. If you experience frequent slowdowns in service based on all the devices using your network, it’s probably time for an upgrade.
