What about Safety?
My current provider has a built-in antivirus program and firewall. Does Salem Fiber have any safety protocols or Antivirus programs or will I need to purchase software like Norton 360 every year to provide this kind of protection? That being said as far as computers go, what about tablets and other devices that you may not be able to install software on? I am assuming that it is my responsibility since I will have to provide my own router to use the service.

This was such a great question I decided to add a couple web pages to go a little more in-depth about the issues. You can access the new pages at:
Additionally, we don’t provide any antivirus scanning capability. Most devices come with excellent antivirus programs and that type of protection is best handled at each device. I have found the antivirus software that comes with Microsoft Windows (Windows Defender) to be adequate and far less intrusive on the performance of the computer than any of the applications you can purchase.
