19.02.09: It's a question we ask (or should ask) ourselves from time to time.
The short answer is change your password every couple of months and use a combination of letters, numbers and special characters.
If you were wondering if you've been compromised, an article in the Toronto Star today indicates a way you can find your answer.
I used it for 5 regularly used email addresses and found 15 instances for one of them.
Naturally it caught my attention, until I checked the instances and found they were a few years ago.
Only one of my addresses hadn't been compromised ... but all instances were a few years ago.
I encourage you to add this site to your browser favourites and check it a couple of times year.
Here is the website to check your email addresses
19.01.28: Thot you might want to know what it is and would it work for...and if it might cost less than you are currently paying ... whether with Rogers or Bell.
First, Ignite service is wireless based service that includes internet, TV and home phone.
The only remaining service is Wireless (cellphones) you pay for separately.
Second, Ignite comes in three levels and three internet speeds and all individually priced.
The 2nd pic (click to enlarge) is my summary of service and costs (you wouldn't believe how hard it was to gather these details). The prices are effective Jan 20th.
The chart shows the slower speed 150 service (150mbps) is the less expensive and the fastest speed 1g service (1000mbps) is the most expensive.
Third, the TV remote is now voice command and really saves time. For instance, name an actor and it will list all movies the actor is in on Rogers and Netflix at the time. Say 'soccer and all soccer items are shown.
I won't go thru all the steps I took with Rogers support before I was satisfied but the end result is I am getting the best download speeds with the cheapest (150mbps) service!
The bottom line is I am saving $40/mo from my previous Rogers service!
Pls comment or ask any questions that might arise.
