Re: Technial service calls should always go to an America location with native-American speakers. The modem should have an on-off switch.
Suggest you get a surge suppressor with a switch. I have computer, printer, modem and router connected to it. One strong surge can cause lots of damage. BTW, many of the "Representatives" are American. I recently found a college grad that can't write or do math. Said "I only learned how to use a calculator or computer to do that". "Beam me up Scottie, there's no intelligent life down here"!5.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Is Google Chrome secure enough?
Use Chrome, IF you like to have Google track all you do? I use Mozilla Firefox on my Mac, never had a problem. IE isn't available for OSX, and I won't allow any Microshaft or Google apps on my Mac. 15 years since the PC's went into the trash, and I've never looked back. I'd buy any Intel Mac and use it for all internet tasks. You can always run your PC offline. At my job we could not access the net with PC's, as they were not secure. No USB or other portable devices allowed. You can't be secure with a PC connected to the net, PERIOD! Virus programs are only added to antivirus software AFTER they are discovered. Even a font can contain one.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Is there an early termination fee ? I just had installed on 3/20/16.
I have given up on Hughesnet, my 5/50gb plan works well, and I never have run out. BUT, tech support takes up hours of my time, and I pay for my cell phone at Tracfone. So staying on the phone for an hour runs me out of minutes. Then fixed my email login problem, told me it was at their end. Next morning same thing, can't log in! I suspect running out of data is a Windoz problem, as only PC's seem to have that problem. I suggest buy a used Mac to access the net. As long as it is running OS X 10. You can install and run windoz on a Mac, I recommend a separate partition or HDD. My PC's went in the trash when I retired almost ten years ago. I've used 260Mb in 4 days, at this rate I'll use half my anytime 5Gb.3.2KViews0likes0Comments
