The most common form of measurement for internet is Megabits Per Second (Mbps). This number represents the amount of megabits (1 Megabit = 1000000 bits) of data will travel from large data servers to your computer in one second. The fastest way to get an accurate measurement of your internets speed is by using Ookla's Speedtest at Speedtest.net. If your speeds are a great deal lower than what you are paying for, contact a representative at 815-570-3979

For most households, a 50/15 Mbps plan is great for general use, including web browsing, social media, HD streaming, and video calls for a few users. If you have multiple people streaming in 4K, gaming, or working from home, upgrading to 100/30 Mbps can help prevent slowdowns. Power users, large families, or those frequently uploading large files—such as content creators or remote workers—will benefit from 200/55 Mbps, ensuring fast downloads, smooth video conferencing, and reliable performance even with multiple devices online. Choosing the right plan depends on how many people and devices are using the internet at the same time.
