4G LTE Revolutionized to Something Better in Gadsden

In a recent post, Verizon Wireless indicated that their 4G LTE service – compromised of Internet, TV, and voice – have recently received an update. Enhancement to the 4G LTE platform made coverage available in the area of Natick, Massachusetts. Verizon Wireless has not stopped there. Recently, a new expansion was made to revolutionize the way subscribers of Verizon interact with their home services.


 


 


The Revolution has Begun


 


On May 19, Verizon Wireless introduced its XLTE service to multiple markets within the United States. Providing more coverage to customers, it was on August 21, 2014, Verizon reported that their XLTE service would be available in additional markets across the U.S. One such additional location was the area of Gadsden, Alabama. This enhancement was made to increase 4G LTE network’s capacity and improve the fast services customers were already accustomed to getting. Currently, of the 500-plus markets in which 4G LTE is accessible, Verizon has enhanced more than 350 markets with their latest technology, XLTE. It was reported that more enhancements with the XLTE technology is scheduled to be made before the year ends.

The XLTE technology is rightly defined as Verizon’s way of taking things further or a more contemporary way for consumers to benefit from the advanced technology stemmed from the 4G LTE network. XLTE distributes faster data speed, doubling the bandwidth to subscribers of 4G LTE. These subscribers mainly live in areas where traffic is at its peak and the Advanced Wireless Services (AMS) spectrum is enabled. While the recent enhancements made are not seen by a customer’s eyes, the XLTE at its best is experienced through cellular or mobile usage. Once a device is XLTE Ready, it’s able to access about 700 MHz spectrum and AMS spectrum which is automatically accessible to the user.


 


XLTE Ready devices include all of Verizon’s cellular devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S4, S5 and Note 3, the HTC One (M8), their latest Droid gadgets and even the iPhone devices (iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s). All these devices have direct access to the network and are capable of exponentially taking advantage of AMS. As Verizon Wireless continues to make advancements to bring a new experience to their customers, XLTE is a profound way to deliver a solid and reliable network which highlights Verizon’s network leadership.


 


 


Why Customers should use the XLTE Network


 


Think about the many benefits that are derivable from using a 4G LTE network. While 4G LTE demonstrates remarkable customer experience, XLTE far surpasses what 4G is able to accomplish. Among the many benefits to be derived from using the XLTE network, these are just a few.


 


 


Coverage


 


Undoubtedly, Verizon Wireless has the best coverage. In fact, Verizon Wireless provides more coverage in most places, in comparison to other provider companies. Once a customer has an XLTE Ready device and is in a location where coverage is accessible, they can tap into the network and enjoy their revolutionized experience.  Verizon Wireless provides coverage for more than 97% of Americans which indicates that customers will not have a problem accessing the network on their XLTE Ready device. As the only provider of 4G, providing only 100% LTE, Verizon’s coverage is far expansive and will benefit customers in almost every location within the United States.

Reliability


 


Verizon’s 4G LTE network is also reliable. It provides consistency and stays on top of its performance by providing quality services, including the recently rolled out XLTE network. With Verizon’s reliability and consistency, customers are able to watch movies and TV shows without delay. This means that there’ll be no more interruptions while watching a favorite episode of The Arrow or Once Upon a Time TV show. XLTE is also ideal for avid music listeners. Instead of struggling when listening to music online, XLTE eliminates awkward pauses that would have been very annoying. Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) is a huge deal within the states. With additional speed on XLTE, accommodating online streaming of multiple players is seamless.  With XLTE, work and entertainment has just gotten better and easier.


 


 


Take It To Go


 


Mobility is a hot topic. With today’s world, including the increasing evolution of technology, people want to keep abreast with it. What better way to keep up than on the go? With XLTE coverage, customers of Verizon are able to read the latest news, story or trend from their XLTE Ready device. Additionally, they’re also able to read and send important work emails while away from the office, access and send highly confidential and important files, and also check their activities with their smart apps while it syncs.


 


With the emergence of Verizon Wireless’ XLTE, a more advanced technology, customers will experience what it feels like to use a service that’s not only fast, but one that provides coverage, reliability and mobility. With Verizon XLTE, the world is a better and happier place.

Robin Williams’ Comedic Career Laid to Rest

Surf the Internet, read any newspaper and it’ll hit you…Robin Williams has died. The 63 year old comedian was found dead in his home on August 11, 2014 in Tiburon, CA. Police consequently reported that he died from asphyxiation where he committed suicide by hanging. The comedian’s body was discovered by personal assistant on Monday morning after his wife, Susan Schneider, had left the home to run some errands.


 


 At the Time of Death


 


It was revealed that Robin Williams had been struggling from severe depression when he was greeted by death. Insiders close to Williams revealed to celebrity news source, TMZ that the comedian re-visited rehab in July to check on his addictions, although he denied relapsing and falling again to drug addiction. In fact, he ‘centered’ himself by internalizing his pain. Even after checking into rehab, it seemed to be too late for the actor. He had already gone far down the road. Between revisiting rehab and his unfortunate death, Robin was actually trying to find his spirituality by meditating. While meditation has therapeutic advantages and provides a great way to reflect and mull, it was just not enough to save the actor’s life.


 


 


robin williams Williams starred as Mork (Mork and Mindy), an alien from out of space who came to earth to study humans.


Events Prior to Williams’ Death


 


Williams, who’s known for his unique and natural sense of humor, has been putting laughter and a Burger King smile on the faces of his audience for years. He’s been featured in many films where he captivated the hearts of his viewers and positioned himself stably within the comedic industry. Williams loved what he did and found joy in being the comedian he was. However, while the actor made himself an outlet for bringing people laughter, he too needed someone to put a smile on his face since he had his own issues to deal with, even when it appeared otherwise.


 


The actor had personal issues flowing through his veins which acted as a source of discomfort and emotional pain. In fact, his struggle with cocaine and drug abuse was constantly at the forefront. He never brushed his battle with addiction under the rug. In fact, Robin Williams was caught on stage joking about his obsession with cocaine.


 


It was after Williams rose to fame on the 1970’s sitcom, Mork & Mindy, that he developed his drug and alcohol, even indulging in a lifestyle of revelry. It seemed as if for a time, stardom and perhaps fame had a profound effect on Williams’ life. In his encounter with drug abuse, he was like a mere teenager, inexperienced without much guidance in life. While the ‘live fast, die-young’ 1970’s actor spent around 4 decades making people laugh, he spent the remainder consumed by his problems. The comedian’s life had been a rollercoaster of sobriety and relapse. According to the comedian, “Cocaine for me was a place to hide. Most people get hyper on coke. It slowed me down,” he told People in 1988. While Williams found solace in his drug abuse, it would later turn out to his detriment as he found it to be a struggle and wanted to quit, but found it difficult to do so.


 


Robin not only battled with addictions, he also had health restraints. After being admitted in a rehabilitation facility for his alcohol obsession, Robin found out that he had a serious heart condition. During his tour, Weapons of Self Destruction, Robin was confined to the hospital in 2009 where he underwent care and surgery to replace his aortic valve. Being human, Robin had the impression or apprehension that he’d not survive the surgery. This shocked him and he changed his life for the better (so it would seem).


 


 


robin williams His legacy will live on.


 


A New Look at Life


 


Life is very precious. In fact, no one genuinely wants to die. In Williams’ case, he thought his situation or struggles were just too much to bear and as such, death was the only solace and comfort he could find. Since the comic’s death, several others, including Perez Hilton, have demonstrated concern for depression. Since depression has always been something kept in the dark, many are now speaking openly about Williams’ recent passing from severe depression. It’s really sad that it took something so devastating to get the discussion about depression out into the open. It’s important that people realize that they’re not alone in their struggle with depression. In fact, a side effect of depression is withdrawal or isolation. This is quite a devastating illness and may even drive one to think they’re alone and no one cares. Whether this was the case with Robin Williams or not, depression can and has caused many people to end their journey in life.

All the Low Down Dirty Deets on Sleepy Hollow Season 2 Return

Without apologies, it’s safe to say that Sleepy Hollow’sSeason 1 ended with a bang. The show really knows how to entertain. The scenes were epic and the characters, including Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) and Abbie (Nicole Beharie) were tremendous. If for some reason you missed the season finale of Season 1 of the series, here’s a recap to get your appetite whet and to prepare you for all the low down dirty deets of the series return.


 


Recap of Season 1 finale: Holy Cow!


Guys, normally I’m the chatterbox and I’ll just let the cats out of the bag. However, with this recap, I’m literally at a standstill. I’m clueless as to where to start. Yup, that’s right…the season finale was that devastating! Orlando Jones did warn us about the finale but as usual, I thought he was like the others who just like to talk. I just didn’t want to be disappointed when he mentioned that we should anticipate something ‘devastating’ so I ended up watching the finale unprepared. I most definitely underestimated what havoc the season finale would reap, especially the tornado it stirred within my heart and onscreen.


 


I’ve seen countless finales where the good guys did all the smiling. At the end, they faced up to the villains and came out on top. However, within Sleepy Hollow’s finale, things turned out contrary to what most viewers anticipated. I was actually looking forward to seeing the headless horseman re-grow his head only to have it re-decapitated (man that would have been sweet! That would have made my day).  Sad to say, that was not what happened.


 


sleepy hollow Mentalist alum, Aunjanue Ellis as Abbie’s mother.


 


Those bad guys surely rose to the challenge and gave me a beating. My bet was on the good guys and they lost pathetically, without even a fight (they sure got served!). Abbie actually found herself trapped in ‘only God knows where’, with a deranged thin-skinned, animal-looking, wanna-be-worshipped Moloch. As for the ‘from the 60s’ Ichabod Crane, he allowed himself to be swindled (and then buried) by an old man who can’t even walk without a limp (shame on you Ichabod! I expected better). As things turned out, this swindler is no other than the self-named sin eater and second horseman, and not to mention Ichabod’s long lost son who is back with a vengeance to teach his father a lesson. Irving, a member of the Ichabod gang and a man working behind the scenes, is also detained for two murders he didn’t commit. As for Ichabod’s wife, Katrina Crane, she rode off with her long lost admirer, the headless riding dude (I mean the headless horseman) into the silhouette of the night to bring forth headless minions (just kidding guys, but the sin eater did hand her over to the headless horseman).


 


There are actually no happy endings for the good guys! Each member of the Ichabod gang has their own problems, while the bad guys ride off into the greenery to eat cupcakes and ice cream. Now that I’ve bored you with the details (hopefully I didn’t) let’s take a look at what we can expect when Season 2 of the Sleepy Hollow returns.


 


 


The Mentalist’s Alum is Cast as Abbie’s Mom


In the previous season, we were always hit with daddy issues. However, the directors are jazzing up things a bit, and are moving towards the mom this time around. The Mentalist alum Aunjanue Ellis has actually been recruited to play Lori Mills, the late mother of Abbie and Jenny. It was believed that the woman, Abbie’s mom, had a mental condition and so committed suicide while on a mental ward around 16 years ago. With Ellis’ introduction, Abbie and her sister will find out what really happened to their mom. The dead mother lives.

Season 2 of Sleepy Hollow’s new Slogan:Evil takes Hold”


What does Sleepy Hollow’s new slogan says to you? If ‘evil takes hold’, it would have meant that evil was already prevalent or lurking behind the scenes, waiting to pounce. We’ve definitely seen that this has been the case with the recent season. Moloch and his clang have patiently been waiting for the opportune time to claim Sleepy Hollow. Now that the fighters are all tied up (literally), who will be man enough to step forward and fight against the inevitable – lift the veils and untie the knots evil has left abound?


 


 


A New Headless in Town


The horseman will not be the only demon to gallop about. In fact, the headless horseman, Katrina’s capturer, will have some competition. This means that Abbie and Ichabod will have two additional hands to help in the fight against Moloch and his entourage. What’s so interesting about this development is quite thrilling since the new associate to Abbie and Ichabod was made from the head of the headless horseman (don’t ask). Aching to get back his head, I’m sure the headless horseman is aching to cut something off. Watch out Headless, a new goose is in town and you’re about to get cooked. As we await the return of Sleepy Hollow on Sept. 22, at 9 p.m. on Fox, lets prepare ourselves to enter the battlefield because war has officially been declared.

4G LTE Receives Update from Verizon

Want faster Internet speed? Many people do. With the increasingly fast paced life that society demands, it’s extremely vital that consumers get the latest where speed is concerned. Many have heard about the powers of 4G LTE, but do they really understand the capacity of its strength and what it’s capable of doing? Sure, consumers are delivered faster Internet speeds which results in faster downloads, excellent movie streaming at anytime and even video chatting while mobile. This is all part of the package and just a minute portion of what 4G LTE is. However, what really is 4G LTE?


 


 


What is 4G LTE?


 


4G LTE is a combination of two terms. With their separation, consumers will be able to better grasp its true essence. The term 4G refers to the fourth generation of data technology providing all the horse power behind mobile or cellular networks. 4G is seen as the successor of the 3G network (third generation). With regards to LTE, it’s the abbreviated form of the term Long Term Evolution and signifies a very tedious and complicated process of high-speed data for mobile devices, including phones and tablets. When both terms are combined, they deliver to homeowners the fastest 4G service accessible today.


 


 


verizon 4g lteAvailability of Verizon 4G LTE


 


Verizon 4G LTE scopes multiple markets throughout the states. In fact, across the country, Verizon 4G LTE is accessible in over 500 markets.  Verizon Wireless is seen as the largest carrier of this fast cellular network in the nation and provides more coverage for the U.S. population than any other carrier of 4G LTE cellular network.


 


 


The Recently Updated 4G LTE


 


It was just recently the 4G LTE network was updated by Verizon Wireless, who’s the largest operator of the network. The recent enhancements were made to the 4G LTE network coverage in the area of Natick, Massachusetts. Customers of Verizon Wireless living within this particular area are now permitted to use the cellular network with compatible devices to peruse the Internet, make updates to their statuses, and download files without a wired connection. This wireless connection has been increased up to 10 times the average 3G networks.


 


 


Why Verizon’s 4G LTE Matters


 


The mere fact that it’s 4G means that it’s faster than 3G speed. What’s impressive about this cellular network is that customers don’t need to be within the confines of their homes to enjoy faster downloads, streams and overall, faster speeds. In fact, wherever there is coverage, Verizon’s customers will be able to tap into it. Once the device is 4G enabled, is compatible with 4G technology, they’ll be able to access these networks and use while on the go. With the implementation of 4G LTE from Verizon, customers within the Natick, Massachusetts area who received this recent update will benefit from the following:


 


 


Faster Download and Upload Time


 


In comparison to the download time accessible with 4G LTE, it’s approximately 10 times faster than 3G. It can be pretty irritating to wait for an item of choice to download. However, with the use of 4G LTE, customers within the Massachusetts area can bid having to wait for an item to download goodbye. Subscribers of Verizon no longer have to wait for their pictures to upload, a searched web page to refresh or load, or worry about their YouTube videos streaming with interruptions. Once their devices are 4G compatible, they’ll be able to perform all the above mentioned tasks without delay.

Say Hello to Video Chat


 


Video chat functionality is very common among businesses. Entrepreneurs use it to communicate with clients and employees communicate via video chat tools, both internally and externally. Prior to advancements in the field of technology, video chat was only feasible over a wireless network. However, in this contemporary society, video chat is now possible anywhere in the world, provided that there is 4G coverage. Owners of 4G LTE devices, including tablets and smartphones, are now able to make video calls. These can be done through applications (apps) such as Skype, ooVoo, Google Hangouts and others.


 


 


Enhances the Productivity of Businesses


 


When used within the business, 4G LTE has a profound effect on how quickly tasks are executed and how matters are communicated. Aside from video chatting, 4G LTE has opened the way for cloud services on mobile devices which allows employees to share, edit files and even upload and download important documents.


 


 


Multiplayer Gaming


 


The majority of smartphones available are highly capable of throwing angry birds across the screen. However, smartphones were unable to interact in real-time with several other players. With 4G LTE, that’s all possible today. Customers of Verizon are now able to enjoy the multiplayer experience that comes along with the cellular technology.


 


verizon 4g lte


 


Network Sharing


 


An exceptional feature of the 4G LTE network is that customers are able to share the love. Since there’s a mobile hotspot feature customers will be able to share their Internet connection with others, provided that they’re Wi-Fi enabled.


 


With 4G LTE, the world is a better place since things move faster with a faster connection. With more advancements made with this technology, even Wireless TVs will be used with 4G LTE.

4 Movies You Need To Get Your "Success"

Many people are driven by success. In fact, people take great delight in driving a fancy car, sporting the most expensive clothing (even if they can’t afford it) and even wearing the most ridiculous wigs (sorry, I just couldn’t allow this opportunity pass by). Whatever the majority does today is really forethought or their definition of what it means to be successful, look successful and even think successful. While this is the case, I’d like to add that many are doing a pretty bad job at living up to what true success is.  Since its challenging for many to find real success, I’ve outlined four movies that you need to watch to achieve your version of success in this life.


 


 


The Secret: Developing a Positive Attitude


 


Your attitude has a lot to do with your success. If you’re someone who’s lazy and de-motivated, even to take care of your own affairs, you’re bound to become a bum. This is what’s depicted in the 2006 film, The Secret, produced by Prime Time Productions. This film features a succession of interviews planned with the intent to show that whatever a person desires, can be attained or satisfied by simply believing that the expected outcome has already happened. This outcome is then expected to become your reality through extensive thought, through repetition and most importantly, maintaining a positive attitude or spirit. Ultimately, the film is based on the ‘Law of Attraction’.


 


With the objective of this film to assist in developing a better mental infrastructure, you can look for inspiration and motivation from it. Remember, in whatever you desire, always maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, demonstrating that you’ve already gotten what you want.


 


 


fight club rules Brad Pitt in ‘Fight Club’.


Fight Club: The Lure of Materialism and Detachment


 


Most people identify success with material positions. However, according to Tyler Durden, a character in Fight Club, “You are not your job. You are not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the contents of your wallet. You are not your Khakis. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake”. Regardless of what Durden mentioned in the film, people will always hold material possessions in high esteem. Fight Club is the 1999 film about a normal white collar job worker who had enough of his job. With his dissatisfaction, he left his job and established a ‘Fight Club’ in search of happiness and what he terms ‘real success’ (if success is achieved by fighting, I’d suggest you get those gloves on and start knocking some teeth out.) The narrator of the film had to become what he wasn’t to attain the success that he wanted. This means that if you’re bent on being successful, you have to rub people the wrong way. The narrator also realized that he needed to detach from what he thought was holding him back. This meant detaching from his parents, god and his teacher. If you want a back seat into what it means to be strictly materialistic and completely isolated or detached from what could hinder success, you definitely need to watch this film.


 


 


The Wolf of Wall Street: Develop the Drive to go down Prosperity Lane


 


In no way am I encouraging you to be a wolf, but if you definitely want all the dirty intricacies of being rottenly success, you have to take a look at Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street. The 2013 released movie depicts to viewers what luxurious and extravagant things money can buy and what it cannot.


 


While there are some pretty gross and obscene language, graphics and acts portrayed within the film, one can actually discern a bigger picture once they look beyond the nude girls and the foul language. They will actually see DiCaprio’s drive and how he was determined to be big and outrageous in his acts. This is indeed a fitting demonstration of what it means to possess the ‘ruthless determination’ to succeed. Do you have what it takes?


 


If you’re determined to be successful, you’ll find it, no matter the obstacles. However, success, depending on how it is found has consequences as seen in The Wolf of Wall Street.


 


wolf of wall street movie Leonardo DiCaprio as Jordan Belfort personified greed and excess in ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’.


 


The Pursuit of Happyness: Hold on and Keep Your Eyes on Your Dreams


 


Success is elusive for many because of their circumstances. Many find themselves being confined to a wheelchair as a result of a debilitating illness, while others might have received a devastating beating from the economy. Whatever the reason, many have suffered by the hands of their ‘circumstances’. However, The Pursuit of Happyness, we’ve seen the Fresh Prince of Bell Air, Will Smith, take a different turn and maintained a different outlook where success is concerned after being rendered homeless because of financial struggles. How was Smith successful? The reality is, he never gave up and he kept his eyes firmly on the prize. If you’re in a very tight situation and feel there’s no way out, remember this film and you’ll definitely keep fighting and not give up.


 


With these movies you’ll find that you’re more motivated and just a step closer to your definition of success.
