‘Twas the Night Before Stanley

Sharing is caring!

Are you struggling to find the perfect Christmas gift? I have a gift idea for you and you won’t even have to leave the house to get it.

How many of the gifts that you purchased this year require internet?

If kids are getting tablets, video game systems, cameras and other electronic gadgets that require internet what happens when everyone gets online at once?

You got it. Lots of folks screaming that the internet is not working. Ugh!

(How many times have you been online doing something and as soon as another person gets on another computer and starts downloading a video your connection stalls. I have been there when we had really spotty internet. It was torture.)

I cannot tell you how often I have done a Google+ hangout and my internet would freak out and the entire hangout shut down. Talk about frustration for everyone involved!

You know what my internet providers solution was? They seriously told me to use the internet less to prevent the issue from reoccuring. Are you laughing? I did.

My solution was Fiberoptic internet and let me just say, there was an instant 100% improvement. Since moving to Fiberoptic internet roughly six months ago, I have not had one problem whatsoever. Whatsoever. And I am on the internet all day long. We are an internet family. We have had 3-5 devices using internet all at the same time with no issues. My understanding is Fiberoptic is dedicated internet that only you use where traditional internet does not work that way.

Here is what others have said about FIOS internet:

FiOS enables entertainment that connects people during the holidays. That’s powerful.

America’s fastest,* most consistent and most reliable Internet.

(While Verizon is not the provider of my Fiberoptic internet, I can say that FIOS is the way to go. I sincerely believe you will have zero regrets. That said, this is a sponsored post but the entire story is my own. Please feel free to read my disclosure statement.)
