WebBand Blog

WebBand has been in the Silicon Valley this week at the fall ISPCon show (www.ispcon.com). We’ve been learning about new products and services that we can add to WebBand to make us better and more effective at serving you, our customers. Here are just a few highlights:

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
VoIP is a telephone system that uses your broadband Internet connection to place local and long distance phone calls. A small adapter plugs into your DSL modem and then you plug your regular phone into it. It’s very simple; much less expensive; and has tons of cool features (call waiting, voice mail, etc.). Watch for more details!

Security Services
Are you tired of installing, updating and scanning your PC for viruses, spyware, adware and all the other “wares” that cause damage? We are too. That’s why we are exploring new “network level” services that do it all for you in our data center. Your Internet that we deliver to your home would literally be “clean.” Again, watch for more details!

Web 2.0
For those of you who are a bit more techie, you know that Web 2.0 are applications that run from the web, not your PC. For instance, if you get your e-mail from our webmail platform (mail.webband.com) instead of a program like MS Outlook Express, you are already using Web 2.0. But there are tons of other applications coming. We’re weeding through the best of them to find the ones that make sense for our customers.

These are just a few of the exciting things that we are exploring to make your Internet experience better. Watch your inbox, this blog and our website closely – announcements are coming and I think you’ll like them!
