Reliable, leading-edge technologies provide locals with the stability, comfort, and peace of mind they need most in today’s world
For Prescott-area residents, the most important thing after staying safe during the COVID-19 pandemic is staying connected. All online activities—school, work, and play—are up and the reliance on the quality, reliable, fast internet has never been more significant.
In 2020, internet networks were stress-tested like never before; Netflix saw an influx of over 16 million users added last year and Zoom saw a staggering increase of daily meeting participants from 10 million in December 2019, to 300 million by April 2020.
For Prescott-based Audio Plus, a company specializing in home entertainment and electronics, the pivot from business as usual to the premier internet services installer was an easy one.
“We were deemed an essential business, and this last year made me appreciate just how important fast and reliable internet is to people,” said Gary Hounslow, owner of Audio Plus.
In addition to the essential utility that internet service and home network stability provides, many Prescottonians went a step further and invested in Home automation services, which provided that extra level of comfort for those staying committed to quarantine.
