High-Speed Internet Backbone

The Colonial House in the only complex with a dedicated business grade network for our new High-Speed Wireless Internet.

And it’s all free!

• Independent of Your Phone: This High-Speed Internet is independent of your phone lines — so no interference with phone systems or your important calls.
  
  
• Connection for Every Student: Multiple data connections per apartment, all isolated with more expensive "switched hubs" for maximum speed.
   
• Content Filter: Our High-Speed Internet provides a built-in content filter that is BYU-Idaho approved.
  
  
• 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.
