MAC Numbers and the Madasafish Broadband Service

By: Laura Ginn

You will need a MAC to transfer your broadband to Madasafish, but this doesn't refer to the popular computer brand. Rather, your MAC is a migration authorisation code provided by your current broadband provider. If you don't have a current broadband Internet service plan, you naturally won't be able to get a MAC. However, any time you are terminating your current service to sign up for Madasafish broadband the company needs to you provide this code as a part of the transition process. Here are some quick tips for how to get your MAC in hand, and what to do if you don't have one yet.

Review of the Sky Home Hub Broadband Router

By: Laura Ginn

Sky has recently introduced their new broadband wireless router that is specially designed to work alongside the Sky+ HD box to unlock a whole host of extra features. Even if you are not signed up to Sky TV, the Sky home hub will provide you with a secure Wi-Fi connection and unlimited broadband starting from as little as £3.75 a month. All of Sky's previous routers were designed by Netgear and followed the standard black set-top model. The new hub has taken more than a little inspiration from the AirPort Express Base Station from Apple, and the white matte finish gives it a modern twist. As well as being infinitely sexier than its predecessor, the new hub features a more compact design with the PSU actually built into it which means no bulky power brick trailing behind the unit. The white lights and smiley face indicator are also a nice touch, but the lights can be a little distracting if you plan to keep it turned on at night. The hub is Sky's first attempt at designing their own wireless router, and this article takes a look at what you can expect from their latest offering.

Setting Up Internet Access From a New ISP

By: Laura Ginn

Setting up Internet access from a new Internet service provider is typically something that a service technician will do upon installation. If your home hasn't been wired for Internet connectivity by previous residents, a representative from the ISP in question will come to your home and install the necessary cables and hardware. If you want to save yourself a great deal of money, the process can end at that point. Instead of paying to have a repair technician install Internet access throughout your home, you can take all of the equipment provided and set up the access point yourself in just a few moments of your time.

Prior to emails, direct mail experts considered creating mailings with personal names as a great idea. To your surprise, the same thing still happens these days but in a very sophisticated manner as it is tough to computerize handwriting. Therefore, email marketers caught up with this trend and also started using personalized emails in their campaigns by simply putting a form on your site that letting the visitors enter fields like name, last name, email or anything else.

Do’s and Don’ts when sending email

By: William Hausman

The most important thing is get straight to the point. If you can say the same thing with less words then do it. Using bullet points when appropriate is a good way to achieve this. Never have too many words in one area and develop an eye for the right amount of spacing. A good way to test these concepts is by finding someone that has no idea what email your creating. Tell them they need to gather as much information as they can very quickly. Show the participant the email for 2 seconds then minimize it. Ask them what the email was trying to convey. If they can answer then you’ve done a good job.
