All internet providers, including Apple carriers should get a boost of speed connection speeds coming in the next year. 

There is a new, latest Wi-Fi technology that has come out called "802.11ac" which can hit speeds up to 1.3 Gigabits per second. 

Speeds that fast could make it possible to transfer HD movies in under 5 minutes, share photo albums in seconds or stream multiple HD movies at once. 

The average home broadband connection uses about 1% of that maximum speed that is possible, but with faster speeds, the standard for Wi-Fi would increase. 

The Wi-Fi Alliance, a global organization that ensures the interoperability of Wi-Fi technologies, began certifying so-called "ac" devices Wednesday. 

It kicked off the certification program by signing off on 19 routers, access points, microchips and smartphones. The shortlist of certified devices includes the Samsung Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 2 and routers from Cisco and Netgear.

The Wi-Fi Alliance thinks the certification program will really get things rolling for the "ac" which began shipping last year but are very hard to find still.

"Usually, our certification programs serve as one of the contributing factors to widespread market adoption," said Kelly Davis-Felner, the Wi-Fi Alliance's director of program management. "But already, this feels like a much more accelerated adoption than in years past."

Over the next year it is expected that atleast 40% of smartphones will support the new version of Wi-Fi. 

Since 2008, the number of Wi-Fi devices has doubled in houses, with each home using four devices on average during peak usage times being connected.

With usage of Wi-Fi growing so rapidly, this higher speed hopes to clear up growing problems and fears of interference.  

Tests are in progress right now that would have devices automatically switch from 3 & 4G to Wi-Fi. This way the customer wouldn't even have to worry about making the change, it would happen automatically to the faster network.
