Emails from All Speed Internet
(or your bank)
One of the newest virus versions impersonates the recipients internet
provider. The messages often come from something like admin, support,
or something similar from the same domain as the recipient.
The messages often indicates that the account is suspended, or that
you need to check information that has been included as an attachment to
the email. This is a variation of the virus letters relating to bank
accounts that have been around for awhile now.
All Speed Internet recommends that you never open an attachment unless
you have specifically asked for it, or know it's contents.
All Speed would never send you an email that would require opening an
attachment unless it was sent on your request.
Web Site Changes
We have recently added extra functionality to our web site. One
of the most useful changes has been to our Accounting and Billing section
of the site.
You can reach this area by clicking on the "Billing & Accounting"
area of the menu bar at the top of most user pages. From this area
you can now access many real time, online functions. This includes
functions like checking your account balance and payment history, changing
user names and passwords and more.
You can also view your account records relating to how long you have
been online for any particular time period. This will be most useful
to people using hourly (metered) dialup accounts.
In the next three weeks, the functionality will be further enhanced
to allow you to add, change or delete email addresses and passwords, add
or close services and much more.

DSL Service
We have had great response to our DSL service over the past 8 months.
Many new areas have opened up, and we are even offering DSL service in
Loma.
We have had many questions relating to DSL service. Here are the
most often asked questions.
-
Q: Do you need a separate phone line?
-
A: No, in order to have DSL, Qwest will upgrade your line
to support DSL service.
-
Q: What does it cost?
-
A: Our 256k speed (about 6-10 times faster than dialup speeds)
is $13.95/month.
-
Q: Is the cost above in addition to what I have now, are there
other costs?
-
A: This cost replaces the dialup cost you may be paying, and
includes your email, etc. There is an additional cost from Qwest
for making your phone line DSL capable. In the case of the 256k example
above, the Qwest cost is $15.

Email Features and Updates
Spam & Virus Protection:
We have completed some major updates to our email servers. The most
obvious result should be less spam and junk.
All users will benefit from the basic spam and virus protection provided
by All Speed Internet. By default, all email accounts have the basic
spam protection enabled.
If you do not wish to have this feature, please let us know and we will
disable it for you account. Over the next month, you will have the
option to make changes to your email settings directly online.
Web Mail:
We will be making some upgrades to the online web based email program.
The new features include better HTML and attachment support, folders and
much more.
This new server requires our users to have the mail settings set up
correctly. In the past, the old mail server was much more forgiving.
As soon as we are able to get the last few people configured correctly
we will make the new mail server available.
We will be posting more information about these services soon.

Referral Program
We have had great response from our loyal users who refer their friends
and coworkers to All Speed Internet. As always, we continue to pay
$20 for each regular dialup account that is referred to us.
We have also added referrals to other services we offer, ranging from
$10 to more than $300! In addition, users who refer 6 or more users
can get their monthly service free altogether. See the section below
for additional information.
There is no maximum amount you can make, but you need to read
the details to make sure you get credit.

Free
Service
Since announcing our "connect six" offer we have watched some of our
users refer their way toward free monthly internet access.
Here is a quick review of the program:
-
Refer friends, family or even complete strangers to All Speed.
-
Referred person mentions your name at the time of signup.
-
After 6 people you have referred become customers...
-
You receive free monthly service until the number of active customers you
have referred drops below 6 people.
Please contact us for the full
details.
We know that it is sometimes easy to miss something on a page you may
not visit frequently.
So, we have added a "recent changes" link on our "MyPage" that lists
a few of the recent changes. This could be the addition on new services
or updating of a web page.
We have also decided to change the link color of items that have been
changed or added in the recent week. When you see a
link in red it indicates that the page it leads to has been recently changed.
