February is Heart Health Month
The
second month of the year, February is designated as “America’s Heart Month”
which is designed to bring awareness to cardiovascular disease, the leading
cause of death for both men and women in the United States. It is possible that if you don’t suffer from
any complications related to heart disease, you may not pay attention to one of
the most vital organs in your body, your heart.
In the same instance, you may not pay much attention to the heart of
your internet which deals with the speed of your internet connections. However, if you have ever been without
internet connectivity or even slow connectivity, you may have felt like you
might be experiencing extreme heartache. In both instances, it is vitally
important to address heart related issues to improve the quality of life both
your heart and the heart of your internet.
At the Heart of It All
At
the Solo Media Group, we are interested in you getting the most out of your
hard earned money from your internet service provider as it relates to speed
and connectivity. It is our desire to show you how to determine you are getting
the speed that you are paying for. Broadband Internet, generally known simply
as Broadband, is the name given to high speed internet access. Standard
broadband is 512kb and is 10 times faster than its former counterpart, dial-up.
When
you choose your internet provider, do you consider the amount of available
bandwidth? At the heart of it all, bandwidth
deals with the amount of data that you are allowed to download/upload at any
given time. Broadband Internet Service Providers (ISP) are required to publish their bandwidth capabilities which are
generally what people use to determine which plan is best for them. Unfortunately,
the posted Bandwidth results aren’t always correct. It is important to note that the reported
speeds are certain to be different due to the amount of activity being
downloaded and/or uploaded and the amount of users accessing the internet at
various times. Therefore, internet
speeds can fluctuate depending on the day of the week and/or time of day,
depending upon the activity on the network. In light of this information, Solo
Media suggests random speed tests to be conducted on your service provider at
certain times of the week.
Solo
Media offers the following web tools that are geared towards checking the speed
and the performance of your internet connections. [speakeasy.net]
Getting
to the heart of the matter, regular checkups and tests are essential to a heart
healthy lifestyle and Solo Media Group is in full support of the National Heart
Health Month.
