Gaming

Online gaming is one of the most intensive online activities, meaning you must have a quality Internet connection to do it. For general gaming, you will need download speeds of between 3 and 8 megabits per second. If you want to play detailed games like Fortnite, look for a connection with speeds at the higher end of this range.

Speed is not the only factor that matters for online gaming. You also need to ensure that your Internet connection has:

• Unlimited Data– If your connection has data caps, gaming and streaming will cause you to quickly hit those caps. You should thus look for a connection that does not limit your total monthly data use.
• Low Latency– For effective gaming, your computer must be able to communicate with the game server quickly. This is nearly as important as the connection speed.
• Consistent Quality– Some Internet connections, especially satellite-based ones, vary in quality depending on the weather, time of day, and other factors. Seek a connection that is consistent.

Phoenix Internet offers consistent, high-speed Internet connections with no data caps, and is the best internet for gaming in rural areas as well.

Home School

Having dependable internet access is key to success; having the internet go down in the middle of class is not only disruptive, but it cuts into efficiency.  Having unreliable internet access is counterintuitive to homeschooling since it affects the flow of the learning process.

For this reason, high-speed access is preferable. You don’t want to have to wait for a program to download or have your online teacher’s presentation slowed by slower internet service. You might as well just close the laptop and read the books. But then again, that defeats the purpose and benefits of these well-orchestrated online programs that are in part reason for homeschooling success.

For homeschooling to be beneficial, you need data to download educational programs. Those programs, however, can take up a lot of data. If your internet provider has caps, you can expect your monthly bill to increase dramatically. Fortunately, some internet service providers have no caps on data. They are hard to come by, but Phoenix Internet provides this service to its clients in Arizona. With the relief that comes from no data caps, you can rest assured your child will have the best homeschool experience possible.
