Email and Your ISP

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Many folks are convinced that their email has to be something@isp.com etc and that they must use the ISP email when connected through them.  We reccommend actually staying away from that, for home users using your ISPs email as provided means if you change internet companies then you have to change email.  For Business its unproffessional looking to have  an ISP email rather than your own domain.  For our business customers we can get you a domain, website and full featured email. For our home customers we can get you a nice email address that you will never have to change with access everywhere on the globe.  We even have a work around for ISPs that try to block the mail ports in order to try to force you to use theirs!

Disks and the Internet

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Did you know that unless you do not have network  jack on your computer that you should NEVER need a disk or software to get internet from any company?  Lots of ISPs try to force “branding” on you or change your settings and slow you down by telling you that you need a disk or software, NOT TRUE!  The same for many hardware companies Like the makers of routers or switches.  The ONLY thing that will need a driver is a network card and most of them don’t unless you have an older operating system.  So remember THROW OUT THE DISKS !  ask us for more info on how to set up a “clean” network and ISP.
