Aquiss Defender Internet Suite
ǂ
Aquiss
Defender
which is included with this broadband package range
is a world-class Internet security software solution powered by
F-Secure; industry-leading, award-winning software that updates
your virus defences four times more often than Norton and
McAfee™.
With the ever-increasing amount of online threats, such as
identity theft, spam email, viruses and pop-ups, the importance
for Internet security is greater than ever. With just a few
simple steps you can easily download Aquiss Defender and
use the Internet without the worry.
While the Internet is a vast entity filled with information and
entertainment, it can also be a dangerous place. Most online
threats, such as viruses and spam, are deliberate and are
created to cause damage, even destruction, to your files and
your computer. Here are just a few reasons why you should
protect yourself, your family and your computer:
- Identity theft occurs when a
trojan or a worm enters your computer, creating a point of
entry for a hacker to access your computer and files.
- Viruses and spyware can easily
find their way into your computer when you visit different
Web sites.
- Viruses can delete files or
corrupt your computer.
- Many Web sites are unsafe
territory, you could expose yourself to a virus without
knowing.
- To ensure a wholesome online
experience for your family, you can block certain Web sites
that are inappropriate.
- Reducing the volume of incoming
spam email will help you avoid viruses as well as keep your
computer running at a sufficient speed.

Understanding Peak Usage and Off-Peak Usage
We split the week into 2 periods based when we know usage on the
network is and is not taking place. This allows us
to control the Quality of Service (QoS) that you receive to a
very high standard. It also ensures that no customer can abuse
the network by offering a "fair for all" approach.
Peak Usage Period
is 8.00am until 9.59pm Monday to Friday
Off-Peak Usage Period is 10.00pm until 7.59am
Monday to Friday and All-Day Weekends.
During the Off-Peak period, because the network is
vastly more empty, we are able to provide every customer a free bonus top-up without using up your main peak
monthly usage. An example of using this bonus could be to
schedule Windows Updates, Sky by Broadband downloads or similar
which are generally quite large. Overall more value for your
money. |
|
Available Payment Options
Payments can be made securely via our
e-billing platform using a wide range of payment options. These
include Visa, Visa Delta, Visa Electron, MasterCard, Maestro,
Switch, Solo and Amex. You can also use PayPal.

Please Note : Please be advised that payments via AMEX
can be subject to extra handling charges imposed by AMEX directly.

What speed will my line
support?
* This is totally dependant on how far you
are from your local exchange and the conditions of your
telephone line. However, upon receiving your order, we will automatically
attempt to activate your BT telephone line at the fastest possible
speed, up to
8Mbps.
In the event of this speed not been established, your
line will be enabled at the highest speed available. Therefore you may get a line speed of 4.5Mbps or
6.5Mbps for example. In any event will we attempt to enable your
line.
Broadband speeds on an individual
line is governed by a wide range of physical factors. BT
estimates that 78 per cent of BT phone lines should support
broadband at line rates of 4Mbit/s and above, with 6Mbit/s and
above available to more than 42 per cent. For those living or
working close to their local telephone exchange, line rates of
up to the maximum 8Mbit/s should be achievable.
