Will any ports or Internet sites be blocked?
We generally block port 25 unless a customer has a static IP address. Additionally, Xanadoo reserves the right to block any ports that it deems necessary to ensure network performance. An example would be a virus that spreads itself via a non-standard TCP/IP port.

Do I have to buy any equipment?
Yes - a wireless modem. Xanadoo offers 2 great wireless modem options - our "Zero-Install" Dektop Modem and our "Internet-On-The-Go" laptop card (available only in Springfield). Pricing information is listed
with all our service plan detail. If you wish to
purchase accessories (i.e., routers, batteries, etc.) you will have to
purchase such equipment separately.
Top of page
Do I have to install any software?
Not with the Zero-Install Desktop Modem. It's instant plug-n-play set-up that only takes a few minutes. With our Internet-On-The-Go Laptop Card (available only in Springfield), there are simple drivers that need to be installed from the CD provided. The only other software needed is a Web browser and
a standard email package, which you probably already have on your computer.
We suggest Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, but any standard software
packages will work.
