Wi-Fi internet service users or those interested in becoming more mobile with their computing might be interested in our Wi-Fi Internet Service Tips. These four quick tips will help you lighten your load, save a little money, and get you out of the house or office more frequently.
- Down size. Instead of lugging around your 17″ laptop, purchase a low cost Wi-Fi internet friendly Netbook, tablet, or smaller laptop. The size of the screen should satisfy your mobility needs. In other words, you don’t need a full 17″ laptop screen to read email or type a MS Word style report. Long battery life is also important.
- Cloud computing. Over complicated by the press, cloud computing just mean that the software and/or your files are NOT stored on your computer. They are stored in your gmail (hotmail, yahoo, etc) email folders or other Google Apps like Google Docs, Google Calendar, and similar service types. Cloud computing lets you access your files from any Wi-Fi hotspot in the world.
- Wi-Fi Travel kit. Create and keep alive your Wi-Fi internet travel kit. Pack yourself a little Wi-Fi travel bag complete with USB flash drive, Wi-Fi finder, short extension cord, power adapter, power strip, headset, webcam and other necessary computer accessories. Pack them into your netbook bag, or leave it in your car.
- DSL with Wi-Fi. If you still haven’t taken a side in the Cable vs. DSL internet service debate, consider that many DSL Specials include free Wi-Fi internet access. AT&T high speed internet, for example, offers free Wi-Fi hotspot access with all DSL subscriptions.
We hope these tips help you get out of the house more often, or help those who frequently travel for work. Wi-Fi internet service will continue to grow and enhance mobility in the years to come. If you haven’t tried Wi-Fi, get out there and give it a try this weekend. Wi-Fi internet access is generally available at Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, McDonald’s, and more retail stores and malls. Most hot spots are fee based for on the spot use, however, paying a small fee allows you to test the Wi-Fi internet service before buying a subscription plan.

The Verizon Quad-Play bundle special offer was announced yesterday. A Verizon Quad-Play is a service package that combine wireless calling, home phone, TV, and Internet services. Competing cable internet companies, up to this point, generally offer Triple-Play bundles falling short on the wireless calling service.
Signing up for a Quad-Play such as this special bundle offered by Verizon can save you money. Billing and payments are also simplified when you combine wireless calling, TV, Internet and home phone services. With four services all on one bill, Verizon says that qualifying quad-play customers can save from $59 to $179 per year depending upon which bundle of services they order.
Double-Play, Triple-Play, and now Quad-Play special offers are available through the Verizon special offer links on our web site. Verizon customers in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states can read the full announcement from the source.

Verizon Wireless Internet 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) is moving forward says Dick Lynch, Verizon executive vice president and chief technology officer. Dick Lynch detailed plans to build America’s fourth generation or 4G LTE network during his keynote remarks at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on February 18, 2009. This is exciting news for wireless internet customers.
As we often discuss through out our web site, wireless internet access services are currently slow and over priced compared to the internet access speeds and low prices offered by competing high speed internet technologies. Verizon Wireless has been field testing 4G LTE wireless internet in Minneapolis, Columbus, Ohio, and Northern New Jersey in the United States and in a few countries overseas. The field tests have demonstrated wireless internet download speeds of 50 to 60 Mbps. That is much faster than most residential DSL and Cable internet access plans available today.
Verizon Wireless expects to commercially launch 4G LTE internet access services in 2010. Plans are currently in place to aggressively deploy the next generation technology across the Verizon Wireless network. Visit our Verizon web page for updates and special offers for Verizon internet services.

The phrase High Speed Internet is thrown around quite a bit these days, and is often used to market services that are less than what customers might expect to be called high speed. High Speed Dial Up Internet for example, might lead customers to think that Dial Up can be equal in speed to the faster DSL or Cable internet services. DSL and Cable are high speed internet services and Dial Up intenet is not.
At Internet Services Online we define High Speed Internet as a grouping of internet access types which allow a computer to connect to an Internet Service Provider (Att, Comcast, Verizon, etc). These types are primarily Cable, DSL, Satellite and Wireless internet services. Dial Up internet is not within the group of high speed internet service types.
In the eyes of the residential consumer, High Speed Internet is synonymous with the phrase Broadband Internet. The United States Federal Communications Commission or FCC defines Broadband (High Speed Internet) as services with maximum download transfer rates above 768 kbit/s (768 kbps or 0.8 Mbps). Cable, DSL, Satellite, and Wireless internet services are above this transfer rate, while dial up internet is not.
