Black Friday Special

So, the boss kinda loses his mind to the Holiday Spirit every year. He’s feeling jolly, generous, and we’re half expecting to see him walk through the office in a Santa Claus suit. So, in the spirit of Black Friday (we are an internet company, after all), LV.Net is offering to waive the installation fee on our HomeNet and BizNet packages, for new service quoted in the month of November, 2018.

Yes, you read that right.

NO INSTALLATION FEE in the month of November.

Same great service, no hidden fees or taxes, no sudden fee changes and NO Data Caps. ...READ MORE

What does the term 'Wi-Fi' Stand for?

Trick question! It doesn't stand for anything. It is not an acronym and it is not in the dictionary.
The founding members of the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance which is now called the “Wi-Fi Alliance”, actually hired Interbrand, a global brand consulting agency, to come up with the name and logo that they could use for an interoperability seal and marketing effort. "IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence" just wasn’t catchy enough to market to the world.

Wi-Fi is a technology that utilizes radio waves to provide network connectivity. Wi-Fi connections use a wireless router to establish a ‘hot spot’ where users can ...READ MORE

Rest in Peace Art Bell

Radio broadcaster Arthur William Bell III passed away today in his home at age 72. Bell is best known for his radio show Coast to Coast AM, which he started in his home studio in Pahrump. As his show gained more interest, he required more bandwidth that the current providers in the area could not provide to deliver his content to the masses. Bell reached out to LV.Net and a partnership was born.

Art allowed us to use space on his tower in exchange for a connection to the internet. This tower space allowed us to provide service to residents ...READ MORE

What's the difference between Wireless vs WiFi?

While the terms “wireless” and “Wi-Fi” are often used synonymously, there is a big difference in the technical world.
Wi-Fi is a protocol (digital language) that is used to create a short range wireless connection to a wireline broadband connection, similar to that of a cordless phone connection to a home landline connection (or base). A router with wireless capability interacts similarly by connecting a device with Wi-Fi capability (your laptop, phone, tablet, etc) to a wired broadband connection. One would use Wi-Fi at home, at a library, or at a coffee shop. Devices such as laptops, phones, televisions, and even ...READ MORE

What is a 404 Error?

Have you ever been browsing the web and come across the unhelpful page that says “404 Error: Page not found?” While this page seems unnecessary, it actually has value.

The most common and likely cause of this error is a mistyped URL.
When you see a 404 error when trying to access a website, first make sure the URL in the address bar was typed correctly. ...READ MORE
