How much internet speed do I need? That’s a great question! The amount of internet speed you need depends on your current or desired usage habits and the number of devices that will be connected to your network.
How Do You Use or Plan to Use the Internet?
In general, the more devices you have connected and the more data-intensive activities you engage in, the more bandwidth (speed) you’ll need. For example, if you use the internet for basic web browsing and email, you should be just fine with a lower-speed plan. However, if you frequently stream video or play online games, you’ll want a plan with more bandwidth to ensure smooth, uninterrupted playback and gameplay.
As a general guideline, we recommend a minimum of 15 Mbps for households with 1-2 people who primarily use the internet for web browsing, email, and social media with one device streaming video. For households with 3-5 people who stream video, we recommend at least 20 Mbps. And for households with more than 5 people or heavy internet usage, we recommend 30 Mbps. Know that these are just guidelines, and your specific needs may vary. Because we don’t require contracts, it’s easy to increase or decrease your plan as things change in your household. It’s as simple as shooting us a text or making a quick phone call!
If you’re unsure about what plan is right for you, you are always welcome to contact our customer service team and we can help you choose a plan that meets your needs.
More Information
(More in-depth information can be found in this US News article – keep in mind that this article assumes availability of fiber speeds, which are easily found in more populated areas. Fixed wireless internet technology is slower, but still absolutely adequate for the overwhelming majority of households in rural Southeast Idaho. We are eagerly watching the market for new innovations in technology that will allow for faster services in the future!)
The main factor that we consider is the availability of a distribution point within sight of your house. The distribution point is the location where we connect our network to the internet and distribute the signal to our customers. If we can see a distribution point from your house, then we may be able to provide service to your location.
However, there are other factors that we consider as well, such as the terrain, trees blocking our equipment signal and the distance from the distribution point. So, even if we can see a distribution point from your house, we may still need to do further testing to determine if we can provide service to your location.
If you’re interested in getting Vision WiFi at your home or business, we encourage you to contact our customer service team to discuss your specific location and service needs. They will be able to give you a better idea of whether we can provide service to your area and what options are available to you.
If you have a secondary location, such as a guest house, a home office or backyard workshop, you may be wondering how you can get internet access there. At Vision WiFi, we offer a couple different options for supplying internet to your secondary location: a new connection or wireless bridge equipment.
For a new connection, we will install a separate internet connection at your on property secondary location at a discounted monthly service rate. This will provide you with a dedicated connection and ensure that your internet speeds remain fast and reliable.
Alternatively, in the event a new connection isn’t available, we can install a wireless bridge (if equipment is available) to essentially piggyback from your home connection. This involves installing wireless radios at both locations, which allows the secondary location to receive internet access by connecting to the primary router via a wireless signal. This can be a great option if you don’t need a lot of bandwidth at your secondary location. But do keep in mind this will have a higher upfront cost of the equipment, prices for this begin at roughly $350.
Both options do require purchase of a router for the secondary location.
Our team can help you determine which option is best for your needs and budget. Just give us a call and we’ll be happy to assist you!
At Vision WiFi, we take pride in providing our customers with reliable and fast internet speeds. However, it’s important to note that internet speeds can be affected by a number of factors, including network congestion, distance from the router, and device capabilities.
While we cannot guarantee a specific speed at all times, we do strive to deliver speeds that are as close as possible to the advertised speeds for your plan. We also continually monitor and optimize our network to ensure that our customers receive the best possible experience.
In the rare event that you experience consistently slow speeds, we encourage you to contact our customer service team. We’ll work with you to diagnose the issue and determine if any adjustments can be made to improve your experience.
We’re committed to providing our customers with the best possible internet experience, and we stand behind the quality of our service.
At Vision WiFi, we understand that our customers come from different backgrounds and have different internet needs. While we recommend and provide(for additional cost) TP Link routers for their excellent performance and features, we also want to emphasize that most households do not require a high-end gaming router. In fact, for 90% of households, a router that costs less than $100 will do just fine.
Of course, if you are a gamer or have other high-bandwidth needs, you may want to consider investing in a more advanced router. However, for most households, a mid-range router such as the TP Link Archer series router we offer provides excellent performance and features at an affordable price.
Ultimately, the choice of router will depend on your individual needs and budget. We are here to help you make an informed decision and provide support and guidance along the way. Whether you choose a TP Link router or another brand, we are committed to ensuring that you have the best possible internet experience.
At Vision WiFi, we understand that our customers’ internet needs may change over time. That’s why we make it easy for you to change your internet service speed with just a phone call or text message to our phone number.
To upgrade your internet service speed, simply call or text us at our phone number and provide us with your information. Our friendly customer service representatives will assist you in upgrading your service speed to meet your new needs.
In most cases, the process of upgrading your service speed takes less than five minutes. We want to ensure that you have the internet speed you need to stream, work, or play online without interruption. We pride ourselves on providing our customers with excellent service, and we are committed to making it easy for you to get the service you need.

If you are experiencing issues with your WiFi network and can no longer see it, there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to try and resolve the issue.
First, try rebooting your router by unplugging it from the power source for 30 seconds, then plugging it back in. Wait for the router to fully restart and see if your WiFi network appears again.
If rebooting your router doesn’t work, check to see if your WiFi network is visible on another device such as a smartphone or tablet. If it is not visible on any device, it’s possible that your router is malfunctioning or has lost its configuration settings. In this case, please contact our customer support team for assistance.
If you are still experiencing issues with your WiFi network, please do not hesitate to contact our customer support team. We are dedicated to providing you with the best possible internet experience, and we are here to help you troubleshoot any issues you may be experiencing.
If you are experiencing issues with your internet connection, the first step we recommend is to unplug your router from the power source. Wait for 30 seconds before plugging it back in and allowing the router to fully restart. This can often resolve the issue.
If unplugging the router does not work, the next step is to unplug the power adapter for your Vision WiFi antenna for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. This can help reset the connection between your antenna and our network.
If you have tried both of these steps and are still experiencing issues with your internet connection, please contact our customer support team. We will be happy to assist you in further evaluating the issue and providing you with a solution.
We understand how important your internet connection is to your daily life, and we are committed to providing you with the best possible service. If you have any questions or concerns about your internet connection or any other aspect of our service, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Dead spots in your home can be frustrating and prevent you from enjoying the full benefits of your internet service. That’s why we offer Mesh extenders as a solution to help broadcast your WiFi signal to those hard-to-reach areas.
Mesh extenders are devices that work in conjunction with your router to expand your WiFi coverage area. They are placed strategically throughout your home to help eliminate dead spots and provide a stronger, more reliable signal.
We recommend using the same brand of Mesh extender as your router for seamless integration and optimal performance. That’s why we typically use TP Link brand extenders to complement our TP Link routers.
If you are experiencing dead spots in your home and are interested in deploying Mesh extenders to help improve your WiFi coverage, please contact our customer support team. We will be happy to assess your situation and recommend a solution that works best for your specific needs.
