And it's Free!

  • Intelligent Bandwidth Management: We use an intelligent bandwidth management system that ensures maximum performance for each student. The system also "caches" the most popular web pages locally so those pages pop-up instantly on our fast internal network.
  • Firewall: A hardware-based “firewall” protects The Colonial House network from outside abusive “hacker” activities. (Like all networks, students must use up-to-date anti-virus software on their PCs.)
  • Business Grade Internet Link: Unlike home broadband connections or other discounted telecommunications packages, The Colonial House uses business grade Internet links that do not "limit" our bandwidth when the overall neighborhood links are under heavy use.
