Get Connected: One With The World

October 24, 2012 by

The world we live in today is a highly interconnected world.  It used to take weeks or even months to be able to communicate with people across the globe.  Television shows and other forms of entertainment also used to take some time before they spread to world wide popularity.  Today, it just takes minutes for messages to turn viral and shows make it all over the world almost on real time.  Connecting your home is simply a matter of infrastructure.  You can tap into available networks right at your own location to get connected for various facets of your everyday life.

The most common way of getting connected is through telecommunications.  No modern home is without a telephone.  A lot of telecommunication service providers provide different deals and promotions that let you save on your monthly bills.  Even if you already have a home phone service subscription, it would not hurt to look for other providers that you can switch to for better service, more features, and lower rates. Luckily for you, Connect Your Home phone services can help you do your research and find the most cost-efficient home phone package for you.

Another way of connecting with the world at large is through entertainment.  Television shows and TV movies are broadcast and brought to our homes through cable or satellite networks.  The choice is really up to you.  For some homeowners, the cost of cable television is just too expensive.  A more affordable alternative is DISH Network TV and Hopper services.  If you think about it, this service is more reasonable from the price perspective.  Since you can choose the packages that you want, you will never have to worry about going over your budget.  Connect Your Home’s DISH Network TV services provide a host of digital television channels as well as a free HD DVR for the basic package.  Other packages include subscriptions to movie channels like HBO and Cinemax as well.  The HD DVR is one convenient service especially for those who are out most of the day and who would like to watch their daytime shows when they get home.

One interesting development in interconnectivity is in the area of home security.  Protecting your home from criminal elements is now no longer a burden that you alone can address.  The Connect Your Home Security search services can help you find a partner in your area.  This service gives you a list of options in security companies and the services that they can provide.  Home security plans of various configurations will be presented to you so that you can choose the package that best suits your home’s protection needs. While price is always an issue, the amount of money that you will spend on these security services will no doubt be worth every penny with the peace of mind that your family is safe and secure.

Be it in home communication, internet, entertainment or security,  Connect Your Home can help you find the best prices in your local area.   DISH Network, People PC, Time Warner Cable and AT&T U-verse are just some of the trusted providers that they have fostered a relationship with to bring consumers the best value for their hard-earned money.

PLDT TelPad’s latest APPgrade – TelMeHow

May 11, 2012 by

My kids are still singing Anna Banana, the song from the PLDT Telpad commercial that became such a huge hit, yet PLDT Telpad has already come up with a new equally catchy commercial. The newest commercial shows a young girl learning how to cook French cuisine and to speak French using PLDT Telpad’s newest app – TelMeHow. My kids have seen the commercial several times already and now my little girl wants to be a chef and to speak French also.

At the Prive Luxury Club at The Fort Strip last May 3, I was able to join PLDT execs, businessmen, media and bloggers during the launch of the new TelMeHow application on PLDT Telpad and got to try the new app firsthand. The stubs for the raffle draw included questions whose answers could be found using the PLDT Telpad TelMeHow app. Now, I’m one of the most non-techie moms you’d ever meet. Everyone else is on Android but I’m still holding on to Nokia OS in fear of having to familiarize myself once more with a new gadget. The PLDT Telpad though was quite easy to use and I managed to find the answer to the question using the TelMeHow app whose interactive graphic interface enabled me to access information with ease.
