I enjoy that I can obtain information quickly online. Everything I do through work is on a "cloud" – so the Internet enables me to access my work wherever I am – quickly. I work from the road so being able to get information anytime and anywhere is essential. Conducting market research and meetings online makes my work more efficient and effective.
The Internet has a huge impact on my family life. My kids, 11 and 13, both rely on the Internet to complete their homework. My 13 year-old uses Facebook to keep in touch with friends. Both kids download games and music to their iPod Touches, and they both enjoy YouTube. My wife plans our vacations with the Internet. When I travel, we use Facetime to keep in touch.

Xstream: The Best is Yet to Come

I was driving around this weekend thinking…"What would I compare the capabilities of Xstream to?"
And suddenly it hit me when I saw the sunset above…
Amazingly fast Internet speeds open up the future to new possibilities. A beautiful sunset is an inspiration and reminder that bright days are ahead. And thanks to the wonderful Internet that I get from Midco, I am blessed to be able to connect with the wonderful pe... Read More

Is It Limitless?

The landmark that best represents MidcoNet Xstream Wideband is the North Dakota capital building. Why do I correlate the capital with the power of Midco Xstream Wideband? Let’s see…
Perhaps because this building is huge and filled with possibility. After all, it is the biggest building in North Dakota! The capital represents the history of North Dakota and the promise of its future.
If this building were my home, it would ha... Read More

Zero Problems With Capacity

Our family always enjoys a challenge. Here is what we did to test the limits of MidcoNet Xstream. Let me tell you the kids really enjoyed it!
We took four iPods, two iPads, a Macbook Pro, and two iPhones and set them to play the song "Modern Nature" simultaneously. Well… not all. We had eight devices playing "Modern Nature" and one playing "Annoying Orange."
We had absolutely zero p... Read More

A Mac and a Midco Lover

Our family is connected literally wherever we go. Whether we are traveling or at home, we always have the Internet with us as well as our iPods.
Each of our four family members have the most recent version of the iPod. We invested in them last Christmas and they are absolutely amazing – the best Christmas presents we have given to our children, without a doubt. Personally, I have had several iPods. For the rest of the family, it is the... Read More

Wow!!!!!!!!!!! The new speeds are INCREDIBLE!
I absolutely cannot imagine going back to what I used to have. Time is so valuable. In the "old days" I waited for things to download. Now, I do not.
I actually have caught myself expecting to wait for something that used to take a minute or two to download and right before my eyes it downloads instantly! I did not tell my kids about the new services, but they noticed. My son said, ... Read More

Goodbye to Wasted Time
Posted: 07/25/2011 11:53 AM (None Assigned)
My list of Internet frustrations is a long one, but I’ll just share a few.
Slow file downloads would almost kill me. If I was downloading a program, large file or a website to edit, I used to begin the download and come back an hour or two later. Very frustrating. I really had to plan ahead. I had to schedule when I would have time to complete tasks online.
Slow video and movie downloads were also a major source of frustration. I wou... Read More
