Services
While our main goal is to provide High-speed
Internet Access to people not reached by Northland Cable
Internet and AT&T DSL service, we will be offering
serveice to everyone within our coverage area (click
here to see expected coverage). The service
we will be supplying will be a filtered internet access to
provide a family safe internet experience. The filter will
prevent access to sites such as gambling, pornography,
pop-ups, fraud, criminal, violence, etc. Additionally, the
filtering will provide an initial level antivirus and
spyware protection. The service will strictly be a connection to the
internet. Email and web space will not be provided. There
are a number of free services already available on the internet, such as
Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, and Gmail.
