ImOn Insider

One of the most anticipated weeks of the summer is fast approaching and ImOn is here to help you dive into all of the heart-pumping action! Discovery Channel’s Shark Week has become a summer tradition full of non-stop action. Kicking off on Sunday, July 24^th, this year’s Shark Week is filled with even more shark-filled programming, including brand new star-studded shows and never-before-seen underwater research that will have you on the edge of your seat. It’s going to be jawsome!

The summer solstice marks the official beginning of summer at the end of this month, meaning
it’s time to start planning that annual summer getaway! There is no doubt that the days of
physical maps are well behind us, but we sometimes fail to realize that there is a lot more out
there than Google Maps or GPS navigation. Whether you are looking for a vacation you can
drive, fly, cruise, or ride a train to—we’ve compiled a variety of handy internet resources
below!

Have you started your new year’s resolutions yet Many of you have probably created a list of things you would like to work on in the new year. We have compiled a list of apps to help you accomplish all your goals. And make sure slow and unreliable Internet doesn’t slow down your journey to achieving your resolutions in the new year — get a reliable and fast Internet connection from ImOn and make 2023 your year.

Your home is your family’s safe space. Knowing what to look for when it comes to alarms, cameras, and security systems for your home can give you piece of mind and make your family even safer.

Looking for ways to improve your home’s security? Let’s review some of the choices you have when it comes to affordable and reliable residential Wi-Fi security systems, as well as information on how/where to report any suspicious activity in your neighborhood.

Most Wi-Fi security systems recommend an internet speed of 1-2mbps for each camera unit. By choosing ImOn’s high speed Internet for your home you’ll be certain to have high quality streaming camera footage and security alerts whether you’re at home, work, on the road, or even if you finally decide to take that vacation you’ve been planning for years. ImOn also offers no data caps, so your security camera surveillance footage will never stop alerting you to potential threats due to data usage.

You’ve likely finished up and returned home after your long-planned summer vacation, and the last thing you want to do is lose the relaxed and refreshed feeling you brought back with you. Back-to-school time seems to creep up on parents and students each year and staying on top of shopping and preparing can make it a smooth transition for everyone.

As we all learned last year, there’s no predicting how the school year will look until COVID-19 is a thing of the past. The majority of classroom learning this year is planned to be in-person and on-campus, but it’s important to stay prepared for remote learning as well.

Stay Connected to All the Action

The 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics are finally here! From archery to wrestling, and everything in between, ImOn is here to make sure you stay connected to all the competition. Japan is 14 hours ahead of U.S. Central Time, so most of the evening events will be live in the early morning hours throughout our communities. The Olympics kick off with the opening ceremony on July 23, at 6am CT, and conclude with the closing ceremony on August 8, at 6am CT.

To stay up-to-date on all Olympic news and events, make sure to download the official Tokyo 2020 app for Apple or on Google Play.

The Season of Outdoor Living and Landscaping is Upon Us

The bags of mulch are getting opened, decks are being stained, outdoor lights are getting strung up, no more frost covered lawns to greet us in the morning (fingers-crossed anyway). The season of outdoor living is finally here. Chances are your landscaping and lawncare to-do lists probably look a bit more extensive this spring due to the natural disaster our community suffered last fall. ImOn’s list sure does.

Financial literacy doesn’t need to be daunting!

ImOn Communications knows how important financial literacy is when it comes to budgeting and planning for the future. It’s one of the reasons why we offer our customers affordable monthly service rates and reliable customer service in the area. Since April is financial literacy month, we decided to open up the toolbox to share ways you can take control of your finances and fix the taboos surrounding the question “How do I become financially literate?”

Below are some of the tools that can make budgeting, planning for the future or even getting out of debt easier and more convenient.

Chances are your routines have changed up quite a bit during the various stages of the pandemic this past year. One thing that hasn’t changed is our need to eat good food. COVID-19 protocols have limited us from getting a table at our favorite local hot spots, and “business lunch,” “celebratory dinner” or “date night” certainly have taken on a new look. Luckily ImOn’s high-speed Internet has the same reliability to keep you connected to your favorite local restaurants.
