You are currently viewing Rural Internet for Gaming (4G LTE)

Being a gamer in rural America can make you seem like a man without a country. You want to be able to play streaming video games, but your geography plays a major role in what you can and cannot do online. At one point, playing video games was as easy as renting a video game disc from your local gaming store, but times have changed. Now, games are streamed online, and gamers can play with friends all over the world. However, their connection to the internet is crucial to being able to game online. 

With SPARK’s 4G LTE rural internet, gamers can now connect to the web in areas that lack traditional internet service providers. 

How Fast is Fast? 

For those that live in rural areas, some of the most common internet service connections are: cable, DSL, and satellite. However, high-speed, wireless internet is becoming increasingly common in these areas, and it’s giving gamers the opportunity to play just like they would in major cities. High-speed wireless internet utilizes cellular phone towers which send data to your computer the way it sends cellular data to mobile phones. There is no need to install any phone lines, and the LTE modem router can handle up to 20 separate devices.  

 

With SPARK Services, all of your devices are connected to an LTE modem router, wirelessly, and they stay connected all of the time. These services are faster than cable or satellite, and the average latency of SPARK’s internet services is around 41ms. Most video game console manufacturers recommend at least 3 Mbps (megabits per second), and SPARK Services has download speeds between 2 and 100 Mbps. 

Laying the Groundwork 

There really isn’t much internet infrastructure in most rural areas, and if there is, it’s more than likely been poorly maintained over the years. This provides poor connectivity which doesn’t mix with gaming. Cable companies would have to dig trenches for miles in order to bring higher speeds to the country. And now, most technology is wireless, eliminating the need for expensive and time consuming cables and wires. 

Satellites Are Pretty Far Away

With today’s technology, satellites seem to be the future of everything, and more and more are being launched into space. However, it’s been reported, time and time again, that satellite internet services do not work well for gaming. Also, satellites are pretty far away, which could lead to some of the connectivity issues. 

 

The Bottom Line

With SPARK Service’s 4G LTE Internet for Rural Areas, you won’t have to worry about getting kicked off of your favorite video game, and you won’t deal with lags in connectivity. Now, you can stay connected to the web in areas you couldn’t before! With the growth and speed of 4G LTE networks nationwide, SPARK Services can now help gamers in rural areas play endlessly without the worry of dealing with cable or satellite.

About Robert E. Allen Jr. A Journey of Integrity, Innovation, and Impact Welcome to my corner of the web, where the confluence of technology, entrepreneurship, and ethical business practices come to life. I'm Robert E. Allen Jr., a proud native of southern Ohio, where my roots run deep into the fabric of community and hard work. My journey in the tech world began at Shawnee State University, a chapter filled with exploration and the beginnings of a lifelong passion for computer science. However, my academic path took a turn toward the prestigious halls of Penn State, where I completed my degree and set the foundation for what would become a nearly three-decade-long adventure in business. Building an Empire on Principles Nearly 30 years ago, I embarked on an entrepreneurial journey, not just to start a business, but to build an empire defined by a commitment to ethical practices and community service. Inspired by the Rotary four-way test—Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?—my business philosophy centers on these questions, guiding every decision and interaction. This ethos has not only shaped my professional life but has also fostered a culture of integrity, trust, and mutual respect within my company and with our clients. A Family Man at Heart Beyond the world of bits, bytes, and business, my life is rich with love and laughter, thanks to my wife and our two wonderful daughters. They are my why, the reason behind every late night, every early morning, and every decision to push the boundaries of what's possible. Together, we've created a life filled with memories, learning, and love—a true testament to the balance between professional ambition and personal fulfillment. Looking Forward As I look to the future, my goal is to continue leveraging technology to make a positive impact on the world, guided by the principles that have brought me this far. I strive to innovate, to lead with integrity, and to inspire those around me to do the same. Whether through my business endeavors, community service, or simply by being a role model to my daughters, my journey is about creating a legacy that transcends technology—a legacy of positive change, ethical leadership, and a commitment to making the world a better place for future generations. Thank you for visiting my site. I hope to not only share my journey with you but also to inspire you to pursue your passions, lead with integrity, and make a meaningful impact in your corner of the world.
