February brings that time of year when the weather is unpredictable, awful and cold, and  all you want to do is snuggle up and watch TV and movies. It is also the unofficial (but we all know its official) month for watching ALL of the rom-coms.

Check out what is coming to Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime in February. Also, enjoy some of the cheesiest, most predicable, and lovingly best rom-coms on these services (nineties Sandy Bullock, anyone?)

How We Connect Today and Every day:

Cincinnati Bell has been around for 140 years and throughout all this time, we have been proud to call Cincinnati and this community our home. Cincinnati Bell believes in the values of Humility, Inclusion, and Integrity and the fundamentals of Simplicity, Collaboration, and Speed.

Watching TV is the absolute best especially when you are able to sit down, relax, and browse through your content with ease. On demand, fast forwarding through recorded TV, flipping through your favorites and browsing through the guide help make your TV watching experience that much better. All of those TV watching activities are made possible through your Fioptics TV Remote. Who knew such a tiny device could make your life that much simpler. Aren’t we all thankful we no longer have to get up to go change the channels? Although remotes make our lives easy, sometimes it feels like there are so many buttons that it can cause confusion on what they are actually meant to do. Everyone’s main question is “How do I program my Remote?” If you are ever confused on how to use your remote, setup your remote to have favorites, find information on the show you are watching or program your remote to the TV, this graphic will help.

Whether you are using the Fioptics TV Remote or the Fioptics TV - Large Button Remote, this will get you through so you can continue watching your favorite episodes and Fioptics content.

Wi-Fi Speed is something that we don’t always think about until Netflix…Won’t. Stop. Buffering. Or you are trying to upload your sister’s baby pictures to the cloud. Maybe you think about it when your web browser won’t refresh your page. Whatever the issue is that's caused you to think about your Wi-Fi speed, you should feel comforted knowing there is often a quick fix that can help restore your speed and connection. 

Everyone knows the Super Bowl. Some people watch for the game, some for the halftime show, some for the commercials, and some just because it is on. Regardless of why you watch, and regardless of if you’re a football fan, the Super Bowl is a mecca of entertainment.

Cincinnati is known for a lot of things. Chili-cheese coneys, flying pigs, and of course, Geotta. Cincinnati has the crosstown basketball game, Fiona at the zoo, King’s Island amusement park, and Findlay Market. When you think of Cincinnati, though, do you think of nightlife?

When I think of cities with great nightlife, I think of cities like New York, Las Vegas, Chicago, and Los Angeles. In the past, I haven’t included Cincinnati in the group of major night life cities. However, that is about to change. 

Time is something we always want and need more of throughout the day. With a busy schedule, a full-time job, a family, all of your interests, distractions, and a million other little things, it’s hard to find extra time when you need it. Even just a few minutes can make a big difference. To try to make some extra time in my busy schedule, I use apps to keep my life simple and my day easy to manage. Whether you are looking for an app to help you save time on your morning commute, or an app to sync your connected home devices together, there is something for everyone.

I don’t want to waste your time (pun intended) so we will get right to it. Here are 18 apps that will save you the time you deserve!

This time of year is perfect for streaming Netflix, Hulu & Amazon Prime Video. The cold air mixed with the short days makes a perfect combination for binge watching your favorite shows. Once I get the time to actually sit down and get comfortable, I am always asking myself “What do I want to watch?”  This starts a long process of me clicking through all the options and flipping back and forth from Netflix to Prime, Prime to Hulu, and Hulu back to Netflix. Sometimes it feels like it takes more time to look up a good show or movie to watch than it actually takes to watch the show.

How many of you have heard the phrase, “New Year, New you”? With a new year comes resolutions, of which the most popular one, year over year, is getting in shape. In preparation for this resolution, your friends Ryan & Alex from Cincinnati Bell’s Connect Cincinnati took on a 30-day fitness challenge to show you how you can work on your fitness this New Year.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is coming to an end and we wanted to share with you the new and exciting announcements that have been made over the past couple days, as well as some pretty neat products that we have seen firsthand.

At the CES conference we definitely noticed a big trend for Self-Driving Technology. Our friends from Cincinnati Bell captured some exciting new stuff, including a heated razor, laundry folding helper, futuristic vehicles, cool lighting, and Harley-Davidson's LiveWire motorcycle.
