ImOn Tech Talks
![]() ImOn is starting a new educational series called Tech Talks. Each month we will share helpful information about various tech topics to help our customers better understand the technology and services they have in their lives. If you have a tech topic you would like to learn more about, just email your idea or question to TechTalks@ImOn.net and you may see them featured in an upcoming edition of Tech Talks. Enjoy! Internet Speed We're kicking the series off by looking at Internet speed. This will be a 3-month series talking about Internet speed, things that can affect your Internet, and ways to improve your overall Internet experience. What is Internet Speed? Over the last decade, the Internet has really changed the way we live, do business, socialize, and stay informed. So it is important that your Internet speed is fast enough to keep up. We all know how frustrating it is to have to wait for your website to load or your video to buffer! ![]() When we talk about Internet speed, we are really talking about bandwidth, or capacity. It is the amount of data that can be transferred over an Internet connection in one second. At ImOn we talk about Internet speed using download and upload speeds. Download speed is the speed data is transferred from one place to another. When you watch a video, listen to a song, get email, or search Google, you are using your download speed. Upload speed refers to the speed data is transferred from your computer to the Internet. You use your upload speed when you post videos on YouTube, post pictures on social media, send emails, or save files to the cloud. So now that you know what Internet speed is, how do you know what speed is right for you? Different households have drastically different Internet speed needs. A single person who only uses the Internet to access social media and send emails doesn't need as much Internet speed as a family of five who are streaming Netflix in every room. When you are trying to decide on what Internet speed your home needs, there are three main things to consider.
In next month's Tech Talks we will share information about some of the things that may be slowing down your Internet. |

![]() ![]() ![]() Like most rodents, squirrels chew on things to sharpen and control the length of their teeth. Unfortunately, they often choose electrical and fiber-optic cables. They like to chew off the outer insulation of the wires and even chew on the hard wires themselves, which results in a service outage for our customers. In fact, according to Tony Bennett, ImOn Senior Manager of Network Operations, our Internet service was briefly impacted 15 times in 2019 due to squirrel chew damage! The good news is our team has become very good at identifying and repairing squirrel chews quickly and minimizing any downtime the customers in the affected area experience. So if you choose to celebrate our furry friends this National Squirrel Appreciation Day, please make sure to shower them with a ton of hard nuts so they won't need to chew on our fiber! ![]() ![]() The National Cyber Security Alliance offers these tips to help manage your privacy: Secure your devices: Use strong passwords, passcodes, or touch ID features to lock your devices. These security measures can help protect your information if your devices are lost or stolen and keep prying eyes out. Think before you app: Information about you — such as the games you like to play, your contacts list, where you shop, and your location — has value, just like money. Be thoughtful about who gets that information and how it's collected through apps. Stay up to date: Make sure your security software, web browser, and operating system are updated regularly, which is the best defense against viruses, malware, and other online threats.
