With the long school summer holiday ahead, you may need a bit of help keeping the kids entertained, and GVTC is here to help. We have created a list of our services that can help prep your home for summer activities and keep you from hearing the dreaded words… “I’m bored!”.  **GVTC Fiber Internet ** Even with the best internet, if you live with multiple people, between video games, online browsing, updating social media, and everyone streaming their favorite shows, your internet can get bogged down. With speeds anywhere from 4 to 20 times faster than the *fastest* cable connection, GVTC's robust Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) is the solution to all your loading problems. If you plan on having a house full of kids this summer, you need our WiFi 6. [GVTC WiFi](https://gvtc.com/residential/internet) handles up to 4x the number of devices as older routers. WiFi 6 also gives you more bandwidth by doubling the WiFi band channels that connect your router to your devices and improves speeds by up to 25%. No buffering screens or slow loading speeds. To keep your kid's screen time limited, you can also get [GVTC’s ExperienceIQ: Enhanced Parental Control](https://promo.gvtc.com/experienceiq?_gl=1*51k54*_ga*MTY4MDMyMjY2Ni4xNjc5MzM1ODQx*_ga_106MB87JYW*MTY4MjYwOTg4Ni4yNC4xLjE2ODI2MTI0NTkuMC4wLjA.&_ga=2.4400752.2101910754.1682454267-1680322666.1679335841). For just $3.95 a month, you can set profiles, and content filters, turn off internet access, and view network usage so your kids can only access sites, apps, and devices you deem appropriate. ExperienceIQ is only available to Premium WiFi users.
