Several questions that tech-ignorant me will ask at the Aug. 3 Meeting
(1) AT&T Internet includes McAfee Elite Plus* Internet Security Suite. What internet security will the AB Internet option contain?
McAfee Elite Plus deals with anti-virus and security for your computer. given that, when Atlantic Broadband goes live in 2019, your cable bill will drop over $6.00/month, do not expect them to provide security for your computer. However, there is no need for anyone to pay for Anti-virus and Firewall on their computer.
Simply go to your Control Panel and activate Windows Defender. It is every bit as good as Norton or McAfee, and costs nothing. - Do not activate Windows Defender if you have any other Anti-virus or Firewall active.
What you may be thinking of, is Security for the Internet signal, This will be WPA2-PSK which expands to Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 - Pre Shared Key, it is also called WPA or WPA2 Personal, it is a method of securing your network using WPA2 with the use of the optional Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication, which was designed for home users without an enterprise authentication server. This is High Grade Crypto protection. Can it be hacked, yes, but significant effort is required, and it is highly unlikely to occur on our Network.
(*: Note the hyperbolic title. I wonder if there's a McAfee Ordinary Regular Suite.)
(2) AT&T Landline Telephone (a) allows up to 100 numbers blocked (b) identifies "suspected spam". What telephone features will the AB telephone option contain?
Again do not expect all of the bells and whistles, the AB Telephony will be VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) the cost capped at $25.00/month, for the life of the Contract. It is unlimited service, with standard options - since Telephony is optional - not Bulk, you can negotiate bells and whistles when you opt-in, possibly at nominal additional cost.
(3) Is the telephone option landline only - or is a cellphone option available?
VOIP!
(4) The above advertisement shows several premium channels (e.g., HBO) Are these included, at no extra charge, in our monthly COA fee?
We will have HBO, STARZ, STARZ/ ENCORE, and EPIX. More movies than you can watch in a lifetime. All included in our Bulk video Contract.

Would be nice if we could get 2 canadian stations, such as french cbc ( Radio canada) and english cbc. I would estimate about 1,000 canadian snowbirds. But, heh, this will be some much better than comcast.

Hopefully you will have an open meeting for all residents. We get no information from the association that I live in. I am no longer on the board in my association but receive Dave's emails and put timely information on the bulletin board.
