The back-to-school season is upon us once again. As we gear up for the new academic year, one thing is certain – the need for fast, reliable internet is more crucial than ever. IQ Fiber, North Florida’s first local residential fiber-optic internet company, can help you conquer all your online tasks. We offer lightning-fast speeds, unmatched reliability, and cutting-edge parental controls. Keep reading for more information on how faster internet and free online resources will help your family get through the first few weeks of school.
Fast Internet for Successful Learning
In today’s digital age, everything revolves around the internet – and education is no exception. Online learning, video conferencing for remote classes, and homework portals are all part of a student’s school day. There are online learning platforms like Blackboard where students and teachers can collaborate, upload homework, and view their grades online. There are also plenty of online learning solutions for students (and adults) who want to supplement their learning in the classroom! Some of these include Coursera, Udemy, and LinkedIn Learning. From learning a new coding language to acing a test in European History, the possibilities are endless when utilizing online learning resources.
Most of these platforms allow video conferencing and upload capabilities, which work best using a symmetrical internet connection. You’ll only find symmetrical upload and download speeds with fiber-optic internet. IQ Fiber also offers individual, dedicated lines to your home with symmetrical upload and download speeds ranging from 250 mbps to 1,000 mbps (1 Gig). That means that you won’t experience a speed decrease during peak internet usage times, like after school!
Quality Family Time with Buffer-Free Streaming
After a long day of virtual learning and work, it’s time to unwind and enjoy some quality family time! Of course, the number one streaming service in 2022 was Netflix. However, there are actually over 200 streaming services available around the world to choose content from! If you’re tired of the same shows on Netflix and Hulu, there are several free library streaming services that are available to you and your family. The Jacksonville Public Library (or the public library closest to you) has free streaming content on their website if you have a library card. There are also other platforms like Kanopy and Hoopla where you will find thousands of movies, audiobooks, music, and more.
Everyone wants to stream movies, TV shows, and games without annoying lags or buffering. Fiber-optic service offers lag-free entertainment for the whole family, making those after-school moments even more enjoyable. Take a look at the graphic below to see the difference between DSL cable and IQ Fiber 1 Gig speeds.
Peace of Mind with Parental Controls
According to TechJury.net, 72% of parents use parental controls to limit their kids’ screen time. We understand that parents want to ensure their children’s online safety and manage their internet usage responsibly. During the summer many kids fall into the habit of being on the internet all day, which is hard to stop once school has started. With IQ Fiber’s Smart App, you’re in control. It’s easy to set a time schedule so your kids are only using the internet during approved hours. You can monitor what devices they are connected to at any time and even pause their activity if needed. Our parental controls empower you with the tools you need to help ensure your kids have a balanced online experience while staying safe. With IQ Fiber you can stay connected to your children’s online activities, even when you aren’t home.
