Wireless
High Speed Internet Service
Rebus
Communications brings high-speed
wireless Internet access to the
region between Pasco and Mesa, WA.
Why switch to our high-speed
wireless internet service?
SPEED
Dial-up access in the service area
typically tops out at a 24,600bps
connect rate, which translates
into an actual download speed of
roughly 2KBytes/sec. Dropped
connections are not uncommon
during large file downloads,
requiring restart. DSL access is
typically capped at up to
1.5Mbit/sec download speed.
Rebus Communications wireless
access within the service area has
a connect rate of up to
130Mbit/sec with a typical actual
download speed of approximately
2.5MBytes/sec (20Mbit/sec) --
1000X faster than dial-up! 13X
faster than DSL and most other
wireless service! With Rebus
Communications you get the fastest
speeds at the most affordable
rates.

RELIABILITY
High speed is of limited
usefulness if it can't be relied
upon to be there when you need it.
Reliability continues to improve
along with the technology. Primary
network uptime for all of 2010 and
2011 exceeded 99.99%!

SECURITY
Windows-based computers require
frequent updating via patches from
Microsoft and virus scanner
vendors, many of which are quite
large. Some of these important
updates are impractical to
download via dial-up, leaving the
computer more vulnerable to
infection.
The wireless network is protected
from the Internet by a robust
hardware firewall, providing
protection from "worms"
(self-propagating infections).
Testing has demonstrated that a
fully patched WindowsXP computer
connected directly to the Internet
without any active firewall
becomes infected with a worm in
only 15 minutes on average!
Nowadays, virus writers have gone
from malicious pranks to
profiteering. Instead of deleting
data or blatantly affecting
computer operation, infections
typically run silent, either for
the purpose of collecting personal
information like account numbers
and passwords (which can be
exploited for identity theft)
and/or to provide remote control
access to your computer for use in
mass-attacks on other computers.
Our built-in network protection
safeguards your computer from the
silent invaders roaming the
Internet. Of course, this does not
protect against deliberate
download of infected files,
programs or E-mail attachments. A
personal virus and spyware scanner
is still highly recommended. In
combination with the Intrusion
Protection firewall, your network
is also protected by Network
Address Translation (NAT) which
makes your personal computer
virtually invisible from the
network and Internet.
Optionally, content
filtering is also available.
This prevents computer users from
web surfing to inappropriate sites
or having inappropriate content
inadvertently delivered to your
computer.

CONVENIENCE
Wireless access is always on -- no
waiting for connections. Receive
real-time weather alerts and news
bulletins. No tying up of
telephone lines -- make and
receive calls without interruption
of computer service, and
vice-versa.
Broadband enables you to quickly
and easily access the information
you are searching for and
positively change the way you use
the computer, whether it's
research for schoolwork,
conducting business from home, or
simply browsing for a great
recipe!

COST SAVINGS
The Internet offers a wealth of
information and connectivity, if
only a person can access it in a
reasonable amount of time. Spend
less time waiting and more time
being productive. Eliminate the
second telephone line for the
computer.
High speed Internet also provides
the ability to utilize additional
services such as Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP),
replacing or augmenting your
existing telephone service with
Internet phone-to-phone service --
typically offering unlimited calls
to anywhere in North America for
ranging from free to a flat rate
of $10 month, depending on
selected provider and plan. Call
local or long distance as much as
you like and spend less money than
currently spent on your regular
telephone just for local calls!
