Summer heats up – and so does the competition!

[Jill Taylor]

Whew! July already? I used to think life slowed down in the summertime but now more. Maybe it’s the Internet – so much information so little time. The good news is this summer is that along with the weather – the Intenet providers are heating up in their competition to get consumers. Free gear, big dollar rewards – I’ve seen the best offers every out there including $125 Cash if people sign up for phone and internet at the same time (bundles).

What else? Along with the deals it’s all about the speed. Not to toot our own horn but our Speed Test just got a major shot in the arm and works better than ever. If you’ve been wondering if your provider is delivering the speed they advertised check this out.

We’ve been getting a lot of interest and questions about Internet phones – how fast and – how safe? Yup, lots of folks out there worried about their 911 calls. So, we’ve put some information together about the truth and how to make the transition with a battery back-up modem.

Want to be part of the dialog? We welcome new members to our forum every day and in fact – I’m going to start posting my favorite quotes at the bottom of my column. Hey, we get some classics and why not share with fun with all our readers! (Don’t worry – no names!)
