Now that you will have access to CCFiber Internet in your home or business, we want you to have access to the tools you need to get the most out of your new fiber connection!

True stories from our subscribers inspired us to create our Peace of Mind Package. One member shared his experience about how his children would wake up late at night so they could play video games and get online. To keep them from using the Internet past their bedtime, he would unplug his router every night and keep it at his bedside while he slept — so his children couldn’t have any Internet access until he plugged it back in the next morning.

Stories like this one are what inspired us to build a new feature package that provides enhanced parental controls and content restrictions — so parents can encourage healthy Internet usage habits without bringing their router to bed every night. Read below to find out more about how the Peace of Mind Package can benefit you and your family.

ExperienceIQ is a service that protects children or grandchildren from harmful or inappropriate content, limits screen time on devices or applications, and displays online usage through enhanced parental controls. It also enables you to prioritize types of traffic or devices on your network.

Compare time online today, last week, or in the month while viewing the total time spent online per category, app, or website.

Limit time for individual apps, sites, or categories. You can set limits by day, category of content, or for individual apps and sites.

Receive push notifications for various events, like time limits or when a new device connects to your network.

Set schedules for dinnertime, bedtime, or school time. Schedules shut-off Internet access for every device assigned to a profile.

Block entire content categories, apps, and websites.

Pause the Internet for an individual family member, device, or the whole house with the tap of a button.

Defaults Google and YouTube searches to remove inappropriate and explicit content from their search results.

Prioritize the devices and activities on your Wi-Fi to ensure you are getting the best performance for what matters most.

ExperienceIQ allows you to provide a safer Internet experience based on what YOU feel is appropriate. You can now block entire categories of content (like explicit content or violence).

It is very easy for kids to get lost in online games or social applications. Now, you can easily set time limits for specific users to create healthier routines and enforce boundaries.

YouTube has great content for your kids, but it also has lots of content you likely don’t think is appropriate. YouTube Restriction keeps your kids safer by blocking specific videos and blocking comments displayed under videos.

With in-depth usage data provided by ExperienceIQ, you can get insight into how your children are using their technology and create healthy boundaries.

With more devices connected in our homes every day, conflicts can occur. ExperienceIQ allows you to prioritize application groups (like work apps during the day, and streaming apps in the evening) or devices (like your work laptop) to make sure your most important devices have dedicated bandwidth.

ExperienceIQ allows you to prioritize specific devices and certain types of traffic. You can set a priority for your work laptop to make sure you always have the bandwidth you need for video conferences. For gamers and streamers, it’s easy to set a priority and make sure your traffic is prioritized — so that you can put an end to the bandwidth battles once and for all.

No. To utilize the features of ExperienceIQ and ProtectIQ, you must use the GigaSpire router we provide with our service.

ProtectIQ is a watch guard for your home Wi-Fi – actively detecting and blocking malicious websites, viruses, advanced threats, and more at the network level – with no hardware or software to manage.

ProtectIQ is an extra line of defense for your network that works together with traditional antivirus software. Traditional anti-virus protects only at the device level and doesn’t usually cover all your Internet connected devices like video cameras, Smart TVs, home automation systems, video doorbells, or any other “smart” devices in your home. Because ProtectIQ works at the network level in your home, it has complete visibility into all malicious traffic trying to make its way in, out, and across your network regardless of the device.

While ProtectIQ adds an extra layer of security to your Wi-Fi network, ProtectIQ is not a substitute for antivirus software, and our team recommends keeping anti-virus software as an add-on to ProtectIQ as it can help clean up any systems that are infected.

ProtectIQ proactively monitors network traffic coming into your home, automatically blocking anything that looks suspicious.

Get alerts when a security event occurs.

The ProtectIQ threat database updates twice a week to keep you protected from the latest threats.

Laptop, desktop, phone/tablet, gaming system, video doorbell, thermostat, cameras, and more.

ProtectIQ can detect and terminate threats before they get the chance to infiltrate your network or devices.

No additional hardware needed — ProtectIQ works directly with your state-of-the-art GigaSpire router.

Hackers continue to get more sophisticated, finding new ways to gain access and create havoc in our networks. ProtectIQ is a solution that helps protect all of the connected devices on your network.

Virus protection solutions (like Norton or McAfee) don’t protect everything. They might protect a laptop or desktop, but there is no protection provided for your smart home devices. You can’t install virus protection on a Nest Thermostat or Ring Doorbell, but ProtectIQ can stop intrusions before they ever infiltrate your network.

ProtectIQ’s threat database updates twice a week, automatically protecting you from a growing list of known threats, for every connected device in your home. You’ll get more security and peace of mind — with no manual update required.

Devices like Amazon Echo, Nest, security cameras, and even our phones are constantly pushing data back to the Cloud. Hackers are constantly looking to steal this information, but with Intrusion Prevention Settings, you can rest assured that ProtectIQ is constantly monitoring the traffic in your network to block intrusions and threats.

Note: To utilize the features of ProtectIQ, you must use the GigaSpire router we provide with our service.
