New Google+ Video Feature Gives Clear Wireless Internet And Other Customers More Reason To Connect

A series of updates recently announced by Google will make it easier for those without video to chat in real time with any connection, including those using Clear Wireless Internet. Hangouts is a popular video-conferencing tool used by millions around the world to create rooms where they can chat with family and friends.

Until recently, only those having a web cam could participate in Hangout conversations. But Google has introduced a dial-in voice service that, because it's used as a part of Google Voice, allows anyone from any location to enter any Hangout to which they've been invited.

Those who know how to use the Hangouts feature will be happy to know that they can call from within the tool at no cost if trying to reach participants in Canada or the United States. The company says that in addition to the new dial-in service, participants will soon be able to access the Hangouts feature by installing an app on their Android or iOS phone. This will make it possible to participate in Hangouts from anywhere, as opposed to only from a residential computer.

The internet has certainly come a long way since its inception. And internet use is expected to grow exponentially over the next 20 years. Along with that comes many current options for those looking for a connection and who want to stay in touch with their loved ones.

For those on the go, wireless offers the option to connect from virtually anywhere. 4G LTE is the next generation of this internet type, and promises to be able to handle the very large demand that is expected to occur for mobile wireless in the future.

Even those who live in rural areas are better able to get online for less, thanks to satellite internet, which has become increasingly more affordable. But those looking for an internet connection may be confused by their options.

And it's no wonder, as the larger the city, the more the options, such as is the case with internet service providers in Los Angeles. Most of the confusion lies with the speeds of different internet connections, but once these are understood, making a choice becomes easier.

If looking for a new connection, one first needs to know how they use the internet. If they get online outside the home, then wireless service may offer a solution. For those at home, the choices range from dial-up to fiber optic service from slowest to fastest.

Next, it should be determined what activities take place online, as some will directly affect how much bandwidth is used per month. Online video viewing and downloading will use more bandwidth than simply checking email or banking online.

Finally, the choice for internet service will depend on the budget. While faster internet may be desired, it should be noted that a faster connection will cost more than a slower one. Conversely, if most household internet use involves activity that isn't bandwidth-intensive, then having a high-bandwidth connection could result in more money being spent than necessary.
