Internet essentials

We've got your back. If you're fairly new to the world wide web, learn more about different types of broadband internet, and specifically about fiber internet and how it works.

WiFi refers to wireless internet. Even if you don't know much about it, you probably use it every day! Learn more from our blog about how WiFi works, using WiFi hotspots, and mesh WiFi. Or read up in our support center on how to connect devices and about the differences between WiFi and wired internet.

The internet is an amazing tool that allows us to communicate and do business around the world in an instant. One downside is that people with harmful (or purely economic) intentions can spy, steal, pry, and trick unsuspecting internet users into scams and cons. 

Keep your cybersecurity knowledge up to date with our articles to help you avoid scams, protect your devices, and keep your personal info safe and secure.

The speed question is a big one for all of us.
