If you added up all the minutes and hours every day you spend staring at a smartphone, tablet, computer monitor, or television set, you might be shocked. How bad is the problem? We can justify staring at a computer screen as being for work, but smartphones are usually the sneakiest culprit when it comes to screen time. You look up trivia answers during lunch, check your email when you should be going to sleep, and get lost down an internet rabbit hole of videos when you should be finishing up your chores at home.
Who isn’t addicted to Netflix at this point? It’s one of the most popular streaming services around and with good reason.

And as we have learned over the years, app developers can create pretty much anything. There are nearly 6 million apps to choose from between the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Some of the most frequent questions we get are about computer speed and internet speed. Seems lots of folks don’t care much for waiting and waiting – and waiting some more – for the video to load, the movie to download or the upload to send. We don’t blame them. Even now, sometimes the internet can seem horribly slow. But before you commit to paying your internet provider for a faster connection, let’s see if we can help you speed up the connection you have right now.
