Why your Internet doesn’t need a resume to work
“Your current speed is up to 2 Gbps (when the planets align and Mercury’s in retrograde).”
Ever seen that in an ad? Yeah. Me too. It’s me, the Internet, by the way. And I’ve been around the block, dial-up, DSL, cable, you name it. I’ve picked up some trauma. ISPs love throwing around numbers and acronyms like it’s an SAT prep course. But here’s an idea: what if your Internet didn’t need a resume to prove its worth?
Let’s decode the buzzwords
“Up to” speeds: Translation? “Probably not.” This is marketing speak for the best-case scenario that you’ll almost never hit in real life. Like winning the lottery.
Bandwidth vs. speed: These get tossed around like interchangeable exes, but they’re not the same. Bandwidth is how much data you can move at once. Speed is how fast that data moves. Imagine bandwidth as the width of a pipe, and speed as the water pressure. (Spoiler: Ting has both.)
Mbps/Gbps: Just fancy ways of saying “fast.” But unless the infrastructure behind those numbers is solid, it’s all just digital smoke and mirrors. A Gbps promise on cable Internet is like saying your tricycle can go 200mph if you pedal hard enough.
Symmetrical speeds: Now we’re talking. That means your uploads are just as fast as your downloads. So whether you’re streaming, gaming, video calling or finally uploading your passion project to YouTube… it all works pretty fast. Ting gives you that. No extra charge, no fine print.
What speed do you really need?
Unless you’re trying to render Pixar movies in your basement, you probably don’t need 5 Gbps. Most people just need reliable speed. Consistent, honest fiber Internet that does what it says. And shows up when you need it.
Enter: Ting Internet
Ting doesn’t believe in confusing you with nonsense. No bundles. No promo rates that hike up. Just fast fiber Internet at $89 a month. That’s it. While other ISPs gaslight you, we deliver real gigabit speeds with uploads as fast as downloads.
TL;DR? Here’s the plain truth:
- $89/month. No contracts. No bundles. No B.S.
- Gigabit fiber Internet (fast fast, not fake fast).
- Symmetrical speeds—uploads that are as fast as downloads.
- Straightforward pricing that doesn’t play games.
Let’s skip the resume. You don’t need a 6-page speed test to know your Internet works. You just need Ting. Check if Ting is in your area.
