In 2015, the FTTH Council released a study that shows homes that have fiber-delivered internet have a value up to 3.1% higher than those without. In other words, it would be the equivalent of adding a fireplace, half bathroom, or a quarter of a swimming pool to your home. For homes that have a 1 Gig (1000 Mbps) speed available, the value could be over 7% higher than homes where the highest speed available is 25 Mbps or lower. Contact All West to see if you are in an area with Gigabit speeds. If you're looking to buy a house, make sure to ask your realtor what kind of internet is available at that location.

Be on the lookout and learn how to protect yourself and loved ones from credit or financial theft.

According to the Bureau of Justice statistics, over 17.6 million Americans in the United States were victims of identity theft in 2015. If you're not checking your credit reports on a regular basis, you should. Keeping an eye on your credit report will allow you to quickly identify anything suspicious. Parents, checking your kids' credit reports would be a smart move too. The FTC recommends looking out for the following scenarios:

If you get a notification from the IRS saying that your child didn't pay income taxes or if your child's Social Security number was used on another tax return.
Getting collection calls or bills for products or services you didn't receive.
If you're turned down for government benefits because the benefits are being paid to another account using your child's Social Security number. more for information:- www.allwest.com

Let's make this simple – The internet of things is the next evolution of the Internet. Think of any device with on and off switch or connection to the internet, for example: smartphones, coffee makers, washing machine, refrigerator, computers, lightbulbs, and anything else you can think of. IoT is a huge network that connects devices with devices, devices with people and people with other people. In 4 years Cisco IBSG predicts there will be over 50 billion devices connected.

Today's blog post will help you by keeping your computer healthy and running the way it's supposed to without any surprises along the way.

1. Keep your anti-virus active and updated - Every computer needs a good anti-virus to protect itself from malware. Installing an anti-virus software isn't enough, you also have to keep it updated so you're protected from the latest threats.

2. Update your system and software regularly - Updating when necessary will help the performance of your computer. If you receive a notification that an update is available, make sure to run the update sooner rather than later.

3. Have strong passwords - It's better to have symbols (like @ or #) and/or capitalized letters in your passwords to prevent anyone from getting access to your personal information.

4. Clean your computer from unwanted software - Excess software can make your computer run slowly. Every couple of months, make sure to look at your list of installed programs and remove any that you either don't use or simply doesn't belong. This will help save space on your hard drive and you'll have a better running computer because of it.www.tvonmyside.com
