High Speed DSL &
Cable Services
Steve's PC Repair can supply all the hardware
needed for complete service of a single account
connection for multiple computers, DSL & Cable
connection.
Broadband connections are gaining
increased acceptance among home users, and rightly
so. Cable and DSL can offer download speeds in the
order of 20-50x faster than a conventional 56kbps
modem along with the convenience of an "always on"
connection. No more warbling modem tones!
The speed and convenience do have a cost attached
though, namely increased vulnerability to intruders.
Many broadband providers will allocate you a static
IP address which makes you easier to find on the
internet. Would-be intruders love that. And unless
you're in the habit of disconnecting your cable
modem from the PC when you're not surfing, your PC
is vulnerable each and every moment it's switched
on. A worrying thought...
Steve's PC Repair can beef up your security with a
full onsite security check including implementation
of the following measures:
-
Installation and configuration
of an application-level firewall.
-
Tightening of default Windows
95/98/2000 network settings.
-
Advice on best-practice for
password security.
-
Remote security testing of the
final configuration.
The really good news is that peace
of mind only costs $40 plus
travel for the
first PC with additional systems at the same site
only $30 each.
