WiFi 6 to Change Digital Future | TX Internet Provider | GVTC

We’ll ask you three questions.
Give us your best answers or guesses.
There’s one simple rule, though: no cheating.

  • What’s the size of an average American household?

  • In an average American home, how many internet-connected devices are there?

  • How many of those devices rely on WiFi networks for an internet connection?

Most people give the wrong answers to all three questions. So, if you missed them, don’t sweat it.

Let’s explore the answers and what they mean for your digital future.

Answers that Might Surprise You

Americans have more than two persons per household (or 2.52 persons to be precise). Most people typically guess a higher number that fits closer with a nuclear family.

The Internet and Television Association (NCTA) says that each household has an average of 15 devices connecting to the internet at one time. That’s almost six devices per person.

Now here’s the kicker:

Almost everyone relies on WiFi to use the internet.

Just under 90 percent of American households who use broadband rely on WiFi. The number of devices that rely on WiFi networks will grow. So, your home may be in need of a better WiFi experience to match the device growth that’s either coming or happening already.

Are you ready to embrace the future of WiFi today?

GVTC Premium WiFi: Speed, Coverage, and Reliability

If you use WiFi 5 or WiFi 6 with a compatible device, you might not notice the difference immediately. However, the story changes once you begin to add more devices to your network and explore your connection radius.

OculusWith more devices on your network, WiFi 5 and other lower WiFi versions would deteriorate in signal and coverage, whereas WiFi 6 retains its coverage and signal strength.
