Quality internet access has become more important than ever over the past few years. If you are not connected or have slow service, you are missing out on quick access to job opportunities, education, telehealth, social activity, and much more.

 

High speed internet, also called broadband, is defined as 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload speeds by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). With 25 Mbps, you can stream Netflix or Youtube, attend Zoom meetings, and play most online games on one or two devices.
