BellSouth Launches Wireless HomeNetworking Service

BellSouth began offering three new residential services for its DSL customers: BellSouth FastAccess Wireless HomeNetworking Plus service, Parental Controls Plus and Firewall Monitor. The first service helps consumers set-up either a wired or wireless network serving up to four PCs. The service’s wireless gateway combines a DSL modem, home networking router and a firewall. Parental Controls Plus and Firewall Monitor are included as part of BellSouth Wireless HomeNetworking Plus service at no additional charge. Parental Controls Plus assists customers in limiting the amount of time children can spend on the Internet while blocking objectionable content. The Firewall monitoring service provides ongoing and automatic software updates as well as detailed logs and notification when potential threats are detected. BellSouth said it also eliminates the need to install security softwall on each PC behind the firewall. The home networking service is offered at $10 per month in addition to DSL charges.
