Family Bonding with Technology Made Easy by Verizon FIOS #TwasTheStanley

Have you thought about how much Internet bandwidth you’ll need with all of the new additional gadgets your family will be getting during the holidays? A new tablet for mom, a cell phone for dad, an ereader for little Johnny and a brand-new HD TV with built-in internet capabilities for the whole family…it all adds up to a lot of bandwidth usage over each month! How are you going to deal with that?

There’s no denying that high-tech gadgets can help families connect! Whether you’re streaming a movie from your laptop to your TV or playing a fun game on your tablet, technology is a great way to spend quality time bonding! It also helps us keep in touch with long-distance relatives. That’s probably my favorite part of technology during the holidays. With everyone scattered across the country (and sometimes even the world, depending on where my cousin is stationed!) we rely heavily on technology to spend time together.

Verizon FIOS makes family bonding through technology easier!

If you have a house full of gadgets, you need Verizon FIOS. What is Verizon FIOS? Quite simply put, it’s the fastest, most consistent and reliable internet service available. Let me give you a scenario: you’ve gathered the whole family around the television, prepared to stream your favorite holiday movie. You have snacks lined up and the fuzzy blankets ready for snuggling under. You start up your movie and turn down the lights. Suddenly, you see the symbol for “this video is rendering” appear on your screen. Every five minutes. The movie is pretty much ruined after that! Who wants to sit around watching movies in small chunks while waiting for the video to finish loading?

With Verizon FIOS, the chances of this happening are greatly reduced. You’ll be able to enjoy that family movie with groans of impatience from waiting for it to render.
