A baseball pitch. A cruise control setting. A video upload. What do these things have in common?

They can all be quantified in speeds. Most people, however, are only familiar with how speed relates to the first two. Miles per hour already makes sense to everyone, whether it be a fastball or a Ferrari. Megabits per second… not so much.

From untimely outages to laggy connections — nothing gets in the way of work or play like inconsistent Internet.

It really is the best guarantee when it comes to future-proofing your business.
