MVlink offers speeds from 85 Mbps ($59.95/mo.) to 1 Gig ($89.95/mo.) with friendly, local support.

How to stay safe when shopping online Opting to join Black Friday online or Cyber Monday from your couch? You still need to be on the lookout for holiday scams and identity theft. Stick to retailers you know and, preferably, have shopped with before. Research a business you haven't purchased from before by checking customer reviews or complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Never commit to a deal that seems too good to be true. Avoid using a debit card since dispute reimbursements may be less than credit cards. Refrain from using public Wi-Fi to make purchases, or use a VPN to avoid hackers intercepting your information. Check a webpage's security by looking for the lock icon in the URL field, and making sure the URL starts with "https", not just "http". The "s" means the site is safer and more secure.
