Eastlink offers new ‘evolved’ Internet experience


HALIFAX – As consumers have evolved from simply surfing the web to doing virtually everything online, Eastlink has beefed up its Internet offering to keep pace with these changing needs.

Known as ‘Internet Evolved’, the enhanced service offers consumers:

– the ability to access, backup and share photos and more instantly, on any device with Eastlink Personal Cloud;

– Wi-Fi where they want and need it with Eastlink WiFi Extender that boosts their Wi-Fi to hard-to-reach areas with a seamless connection to all Wi-Fi devices;

– 24/7 support for smart TVs, computer viruses, software upgrades, printers and more with Eastlink MyTech Guru; and

– protection for both PC and Mac on up to five computers combating viruses, spyware and other threats that put computers at risk with Eastlink Internet Security Services.

"People spend more time on the internet today than ever before," said Eastlink CEO Lee Bragg, in the company announcement.  "They've gone from spending an hour or so a day to up to four hours a day, not including work. There used to be one computer connection and one person online at a time in the home. Now, the average home has nine connected devices and the whole family is online."
