Living room
Your main TV, on Ethernet if the router is nearby. This is where you want the best picture, so give it the best connection.
Atlanta
IPTV in Atlanta: from one TV to the whole house
From Midtown condos to two-story homes in Marietta, Decatur or Alpharetta, what matters most in Atlanta is often getting a good signal to every screen.
A typical Atlanta setup
Bedroom upstairs
Often the weak spot. A stick on the far side of a floor may need a mesh Wi-Fi point nearby to stay stable.
Basement or bonus room
Floors and foundations block Wi-Fi. A wired connection or powerline adapter usually beats a stronger router.
Phones on the porch
Fine for catching up. Just remember every extra stream shares your connection with the TVs indoors.
Game day, with everyone home
When a big college or pro game is on, you might have a screen in every room and a house full of phones. That is the toughest test for your home internet.
Before a big game, try this:
- Count your screens and ask us how many can stream at once on your plan
- Allow roughly 10 Mbps per HD stream, plus some headroom for everything else
- Test a stream an hour ahead, and restart your router if needed
- Remember that internet streams run a little behind broadcast, so turn off score alerts
We never promise a specific game or league. If one matters, ask us first.
Storms and outages
Atlanta's summer thunderstorms can knock out power and internet, and IPTV stops whenever either one does.
- A small battery backup on your router and modem can ride out short power cuts.
- Plug sensitive electronics into a surge protector.
- Do not rely on a stream for severe weather warnings. Keep a weather radio or your phone's emergency alerts turned on.
Atlanta is on Eastern time, so the published times for national broadcasts should match your guide. If yours is off, check the time zone in your player app.
