The holiday countdown is underway, and if you're like most shoppers, you probably plan to shop online during the 2021 season of giving. Unfortunately, it's also the season when online scammers shop for victims. The good news is that you can take steps to keep yourself, your gift fund, and your personal information safe from these seasonal opportunists while holiday shopping online. Where to do your online holiday shopping Shopping online means you never have to get stuck in traffic on the way to the mall, wait in long lines, or listen to "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" dozens of times unless you really want to. But shopping IRL - in real life - offers one big advantage: You know the business and inventory exist. On the web, some scammers create fake online stores just to get your credit card number or other personal information. To play it safe, consider doing online business only with retailers you trust and have shopped with before. Or at least confirm the business is legit by checking with the Better Business Bureau, looking at sites like TrustPilot.com, and skimming a few customer reviews. Here are other tips for choosing the right places to shop: Click here to read more. |

Streaming TV
MVlink does not offer a bundled service that includes TV. The reasoning is because TV, as many know it today, is quickly evolving with streaming TV becoming popular. Members who can use an app on their smart phone, can also figure out streaming TV. Most smart TVs have a device built in or you can purchase a device that will connect your TV to your home's internet service via Wi-Fi. For a monthly fee, you can purchase one or more apps to allow you many viewing options. Members often tell us they can purchase multiple apps for far less than they currently pay for cable TV service, and that even includes the monthly MVlink cost. Better yet, you are only buying what you want to watch, versus paying for multiple channels you never watch. With MVlink's 85/85 mbps service you can enjoy streaming on multiple TVs with no buffering.
Before you "cut the cord" from traditional cable or satellite TV, step back and think about whether you should. Consider the following: Do you already have home internet service? If you're paying for internet and use it, cord-cutting will probably make financial sense. Click here to read more.
