Broadband Resources

The Internet is a worldwide network of computers. These computers contain huge amounts of information about any subject imaginable. You will be able to access this network via a local access telephone number, your personal computer, and a modem. You will be able to send electronic messages, download files, chat with others who have your interests, and do research on a variety of subjects.

You may submit a request online, sign up over the phone, or at your nearest Ben Lomand Connect office. We provide you with a username and password, and we do require a signature on the Internet form itself. If you sign up in person, you can pick up your username and password while you are here.

Yes, fax machines and analog modems operate on the same frequency as POTS (plain old telephone service), therefore you should encounter no problems using the devices with xDSL Broadband. If you are a fiber customer using FAX or an analog modem, special profiles may be required.

Broadband service delivered over copper-based technologies (xDSL) requires a compatible modem or router. Fiber service is delivered on Category 5 compatible Ethernet port and requires a standard Ethernet router.

Your E-mail address will be (yourusernamehere)@benlomand.net

The old Communigate platform that blomand.net addresses resides on is being decommissioned.

10 gigs of email storage along with a grace period in which to restore mail that is accidentally deleted.

Accounts are ready to use almost immediately but mail stored on the server and contacts stored on the server take from 12 to 24 hours depending on volume to move into the new benlomand.net account.

Yes–the server platform will not be there after the end of 2021.

A responder may be put on the account that notifies each person who sends to the old address the first time of the new address. If you use webmail each message contains a line at the top that tells you if it was sent to the old address or to the new one. You can tell who is still sending to the old address and notify them.

Your old mail is moved so any email you have stored on the server is moved to the new account. The old mailbox forwards automatically to the new benlomand.net account. There is no need to access the old account directly.

The migration CAN NOT touch mail that is stored on a computer or other device but any mail and contacts kept on the mail server are automatically moved to the new account.

As of right now there has been no time-limit set, but this service will be stopped at some point in the future and we will make people aware when that happens.
