Back-to-School time is right around the corner, and many prepared parents have already gotten a jumpstart on school supplies shopping. Kudos to those who’ve already acquired the pencils, notebooks, folders and backpacks; you’re off to a great start! But don’t overlook one of the most commonly forgotten, yet often most needed, tools your student may need this school year—a dependable internet connection!
GVEC Wireless Internet
GVEC Wireless utilizes a small radio and mast (if necessary) installed at your home. The radio communicates with a nearby tower and delivers service to your computer or router via Ethernet cable.
This high-speed, reliable internet service delivers a variety of plans to fit differing needs and budgets for most people. Speeds from 1 Mbps to 3 Mbps are great for web surfing, email, homework, and accessing your students’ school websites. Plans with speeds of up to 8 Mbps to 25 Mbps have the bandwidth to support online gaming, video streaming and handle multiple users—great for times everyone is scrambling to finish assignments due the next day!
GVEC Fiber Internet
Pop quiz: What do you do about a slow connection that’s stressing out students (and parents)? GVEC Fiber is the answer! Fiber delivers extreme-speed, dependable service with speeds of up to 1 Gbps.
GVEC Fiber runs a seamless fiber-optic connection directly to your home. This connection has the necessary bandwidth to deliver large amounts of data at one time. It’s also far more resistant to outside interference like weather conditions or other providers’ signals.
Home Wi-Fi Optimization
Does spotty internet in some areas of your home limit where your student can do their schoolwork? If so, optimizing your Wi-Fi signal with a mesh network may be the solution you need.
A mesh network consists of separate pods that give your Wi-Fi signal a boost where it’s needed. The pods are placed in parts of your home where your Wi-Fi signal may have trouble reaching or is weaker. They retransmit your router’s signal to those areas without loss, giving you the high-quality coverage you need. It’s an optimal and affordable solution, costing only $2 per month for each od, in addition to the $6 rental fee for a GVEC router.
Whether you’re a new or existing GVEC Internet customer, see what services or upgrades are available in your area to make sure you have the connectivity the students in your home need. Give us a call at 800.699.4832, or visit gvec.net.
