News on Youtube Dec 24 2018

Hello in this video I want to talk about how much internet a typical household family might need

So I have two main providers in my area

I have Mediacom and CenturyLink and I want to look at what they are offering on the website here

I haven't punched my address in but this I

was able to pull this up so they have internet 60 internet 100 internet 200 and internet 500 and gigabyte at mediacom and then

CenturyLink has this up to 20 megabit 40 to 80 megabit and 100 to 140 megabit service

I do know they put fiber in here so I could get gigabit at my house

I don't see it on here, but that doesn't really matter for what I'm talking about

If you're a power user what I'm talking about here is probably irrelevant

If you download super large files all the time, you probably already know what you need for Internet

But this is just someone who's just starting out in a new area. It needs to get internet

How much should they get one place to look here is?

Netflix has this help file and it says internet speed recommendations and they recommend they say you have to have a half megabit is

required and then one point five megabits is

Recommended and three megabits recommended for SD five megabits recommended for HD and 25 megabits

Recommended for ultra HD. So I think most people are going to fall into this a 5 megabit category

So it's 5 megabits per second recommend for HD content. That's very common on Netflix

If we go over to Vudu, you'll see something kind of similar. It says SD requires one

megabit HD requires 4 point 5 mega bit and UHD requires

11 megabit here again 5 megabits kind of a target when you're looking at internet speed

you need to look at you really want to consider video because

text like email text downloading pictures social networking that stuff is going to be lower bandwidth consumption than

Video video is going to take up the most

so what I tend to like to recommend is you get about 5 megabits per

person in the household that could

potentially be streaming video at the same time or Internet users in general if you have a household of four and you have

Two parents a teenager and maybe like a three-year-old

So then you have three people that are probably using the Internet somewhat regularly

I recommend about 5 megabits per person and then add 5 on top just for extra breathing room

so for 3 people

I would recommend get at least 20 megabit download speed if we look here at the marketing here

We have internet 60 it says stream music download files and surf web up to 2 to 4

Devices at a time if we go to 100. It says 4 to 6 devices at a time Internet 200 says 6 to 8 and

Internet 500 said gigabit it says it's perfect speed for everyone in your home

Doesn't give a speed. So let's look at internet 500

Well, when we looked at Netflix that said you need 5 megabits to download HD video

So here it says this is for 8 to 12 people

So if we take 12 times

5 we're getting 60 if you look here the lowest is 60 so in perfect situation

Like if you could get that full 60, this should be plenty to download HD streams for those 12 people

You know the marketing here they act like you need this 500 megabit to do that

Well, you don't the 60 would be fine

Although if you had 12 people you might want to bump up to the hundred just for some breathing room

It's not I'm talking about kind of the minimums. You'd want to get the same here

We look it says up to 100 megabit to connect multiple users and 10 plus devices

Same thing here. So, you know a household of four, you know, I said would probably want 20 megabit

But you look here the price they have this deal where you can get 40 to 80

so I would go with the 40 to 80 there and maybe you

Really have a tough budget and it's cheaper to get the 20 you could start with the 20 one thing to consider is you might

ask when you're ordering it how hard it is to upgrade so you can start with a minimum start at 20 and then if that

Doesn't work go up to the next level in your area because everyone's gonna have different plans

I'm sure for that. Another thing to consider is latency. Like if you're a gamer you want high?

Lower latency, which is the time to connect to sites and that's hard to judge

I don't see that advertised a lot on these you can probably go to sites online

They might have ratings for which Internet is good for gaming. So that might be something to look into

Another thing to consider is that the site you're connecting to may be overwhelmed and you might not get the speed

So say you have 5 megabits dedicated to Netflix

well

if Netflix was overwhelmed or that the backbone can't handle your 5 megabit and

doesn't matter that you have the five megabit you the other end needs to be able to handle the speed you have so if you

Can't get fast internet where you live. So say you're in a rural area and you can get five megabit

I wouldn't rule out streaming. Well rule out streaming. Maybe you could probably stream one stream pretty good

Maybe a low-res stream but something to consider is to get a tablet like I use an iPad and all the apps all the big

Apps like Vudu Netflix and such you can download your movie

So what you could do is you could set that to download at night and then watch it the next day

That's an option for you. Another thing would be video podcasts. I don't know how popular those are

They used to be pretty popular you can download

Different things like that. This was a quick video

I want to make on internet speed because I know a lot of times people get these mailers I get them all the time in

The mail that say you get some fast streaming and get this gigabit service or whatever

Well, you don't really need that and you know, it's right here in this net flew Netflix page

I'll put a link to this in the description, too

So, you know if you're ever trying to figure out what you need you can reference this

So well if you have any questions

please leave them in the comments if you have any tips or

you know related to this go ahead and add those in the comments also and if you like this video

Arsenal discover how much it will cost to sign Pepe - Duration: 2:16.

 Arsenal have discovered it will take a massive 80 million euros to secure the services of Nicolas Pepe from Lille in January

 The Gunners seem to be keen on the 23-year-old who has turned heads with his performances in France this season where has scored 12 goals and provided five assists so far

 That's second only to Kylian Mbappe of PSG and that form has alerted Arsenal to his presence, with Unai Emery seemingly intent on signing the Ivory Coast international come January

 But he may have spit out his cornflakes on discovering just how much the club would have to part with in order to sign Pepe, with Lille Chief Luis Campos setting his value at €80million

 That's twice the €40million figure that had been branded about recently, but French publication L'Equipe have recently claimed that Pepe will be available in January, so Arsenal may have some negotiating room with that figure

 Speaking about Pepe to Telefoot on Sunday morning, Campos set out the value for the youngster, saying: "€80million

But [any club] will also have to convince the player."  Arsenal need attacking reinforcements this January and Emery is a fan of Pepe having seen him first hand when he was manager of PSG last season, although the figure of €80million suggest Lille will want to do anything they can to get the most for one of their most exciting players

How Much Do SMS Keywords Cost? - Duration: 2:50.

I'm Derek Johnson with tatango.com, and I'm answering the question, "How much

do SMS keywords cost?"

So, first off, what is an SMS keyword?

An SMS keyword is a word that is text to a short code.

A short code is a five- to six-digit phone number, usually to interact or join an SMS

marketing campaign.

For example, if you're a local pizza place, you would maybe have the keyword "pizza",

and people would text "pizza" to 1-2-3-4-5, which is the short code to opt in to receive

your pizza promotions and coupons.

Pretty simple.

So, when people ask us here at Tatango, "How much do SMS short codes…sorry, SMS keywords

cost?"

usually, that means they've been talking to a provider that offers a shared short code.

A shared short code is a short code that's used by many different brands, all using the

same phone number, so thousands or tens of thousands of different brands using the same

phone number.

When that happens, though, to distinguish each usage of, you know, on the short code,

you have to use different keywords.

And if you have tens of thousands of different businesses using the same phone number short

code, then you have to divvy up the keywords and make them hard to get.

And hard to get, you've gotta charge for them because you don't want people just

claiming every single word under the sun for free because then the new businesses that

come on the shared short code aren't gonna have availability for themselves, so they

can't find a word that's available.

So, you'll usually see a shared short code provider will charge something like $15 or

$25 per keyword to use the short code.

We, at Tatango, only sell dedicated short codes.

If you're on a dedicated short code, you don't have to pay per keyword because it's

your own phone number, it's your own short code.

You have access to all of the words at any time.

You can claim them, not claim them, have a catch-all if you want, so just whatever they

text in, you can respond with.

I mean, it's a much more flexible solution.

So, usually, when I see people or hear people talk about the cost of an SMS keyword, that's

because they're looking at a shared short code, because the short code owner has to

divvy up and make the keywords.

He has to charge for them because, if he didn't, then everybody will take all the words available.

Dedicated short code, on the other hand, it's completely free to use as many keywords as

you want.

So, hopefully, that answered the question for those people that are asking, "How much

is an SMS keyword?"
