Limit the kinds of web pages displayed on
your computer.
The Internet can be a great source for finding
information on most any subject. You may be worried though about some kinds of
information and pictures coming up for your kids, employees, or yourself.
Filtering your Internet service is an easy and
effective solution for any such worries. NU-Telecom offers X-STOP filtering.
This automatically blocks web sites that you don't want in your home or
business, based on categories that YOU choose to block.
For example, blocking the category of
"pornography" would include sites that contain nudity and vulgarity. Some other
topics to choose from include: illegal drugs, gambling, cults, public chat
rooms, alcohol, sports, financial news, and more.
Filtering is included with all dial-up
accounts. Filtering is not available with DSL.
Some benefits of
X-STOP Filtering:
- Flexibility. You determine which
topics you want to view or block, and choices can be changed or added later.
Each person in a household or business can have a separate profile, with
different topics blocked.
- It's updated constantly. As many as
300 new adult sites come online each day. NU-Telecom's filtering is
constantly updated to find sites to be blocked from your computer. (No
filter can ensure 100% blockage.)
- No software to install or upgrade.
Sites are blocked by NU-Telecom's equipment, before the sites ever reach
your computer.
- Easy to use. No great technical
skills required.
- Filter can't be turned off by users.
Filtering cannot be stopped or modified by folks at your computer. Any
change to filtering service requires a visit to our office for a signature.
- No speed sacrifice. Computer speed
will not be affected.
- It's FREE!
Included with dial-up service.
