What is DSL?
DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. DSL allows you to access the Internet at speeds up to 50 times faster than dial up plans. In addition to the speed, DSL lets you connect to the Internet and talk on the phone at the same time - no need to pay for a second phone line! DSL uses special technology to separate data signals from voice, resulting in the speed and convenience you’ve been waiting for. Our service pricing includes taxes so you have no additional surprises on your bill like those complicated phone bills! Bundle with our professional web site hosting services and receive discounts on the hosting!

DSL Availability
DSL service is limited to customers within approximately a three mile radius of Embarq or Alltel Central offices all over North Carolina. Please contact us to inquire about availability!

DSL Service Features:

  • Unlimited High-Speed Internet Access

  • 5 E-mail Addresses

  • State of the Art Spam and Virus Filtering

  • 5MBs of Personal Web Server Space

  • Toll-Free Tech Support — 24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week

Why You Should Consider DSL from ConnectNC:

Imagine being able to download a megabyte or two worth of video or the latest plug-in in a matter of seconds. And load graphic-intensive pages almost instantly. That’s precisely what DSL allows you to do.

DSL also makes telecommuting a snap. You can send and receive files from your office with speeds that increase efficiency and productivity. DSL’s speed also makes telemedicine possible with remote access to patients’ charts and x-rays stored in remote locations.

It gets even better! Along with the blazing speed and convenience of a single phone line, DSL is always connected. No more dialing in, busy signals, slow connections or hang-ups. One click of a button or your mouse, and you’re ready to surf away with ConnectNC Lightning-Fast Internet Service!

  • Talk on the phone and surf the Internet at the same time.

  • Connection speeds up to 50 times faster than dial-up.

  • No more waiting for a dial-up connection to be established.

  • No per minute cost; your low, monthly rate covers as much use as you care to give it.

4. On the Internet E-mail Settings window for POP3, enter your account information:

Your Name
Enter your first and last name.
E-mail Address
Enter your e-mail address.
User Name
Enter your e-mail address again.

Enter the password for your e-mail account.
Incoming mail server (POP3)

Note:  Many ISPs do not allow outgoing mail through any but their own servers.  It’s for this reason that we require you to check with your own ISP (cable, DSL provider) for the outgoing mail server address.  Most Internet cafes or places where you can get free wireless access don’t allow outgoing mail except through webmail.

Please keep your passwords private!
Jul 14th, 2008 by Beth

There are individuals who may send email to you, asking for your account password, or asking you to login to a web site to change your password. These people are posing as technical support people in an attempt to get your account password from you. Once they have your account password, they login to webmail and use your address to send out thousands of “spam” messages across the Internet.

There are a few steps you can take to make sure your account isn’t “hijacked” to use for spamming (sending junk email). First, and most important, never give your password to anyone who is requesting it by email. Don’t login to any web site to change your password or enter your current password on the request of anyone by email. If we feel your account has been compromised we’ll change your password for you. We’ll never email to ask you to do it.

You can read more about this kind of activity, called “phishing,” by going to the following URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing

Second, please make sure your password is strong enough to prevent someone from guessing it. If your username and password are the same, you’re a potential target for account hijacking. Your password should contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and some other character(s), such as symbols or punctuation. Here are a few examples of good and bad passwords.

GOOD passwords
————–
M9ADu%3wQ! (good)
NtiL@e_D5o1sig (even better - more characters)

BAD passwords
————-
1234 (one of the most commonly used and easily guessed passwords)
spaniel (a word in the dictionary)

Please check your password here:
http://tinyurl.com/safe-passwords
If your password strength is not rated “strong” or “best,” it should be changed immediately!

If you have ANY reason to believe that someone has guessed your password, please change it immediately.
