Alex HollingdaleAlex HollingdaleHomeSafe wins innovation award at the uSwitch Broadband Awards

Last year we launched our ground breaking, network level security product HomeSafe and since then, over 200,000 of our customers have activated it.  We are all extremely proud of HomeSafe so we were delighted to be awarded the Broadband Innovation award at the uSwitch awards in London last night.

More and more of you are seeing the benefits of using HomeSafe to protect your devices in the home and to help keep children safer online by using the parental controls features.  And as predicted, this Christmas was full of gadget gifts which meant we’ve seen an increase in activations this month as even more devices are now connected to the home broadband connection.

HomeSafe offers protection for all the devices in your home connected to your TalkTalk broadband.  The Virus Alerts feature helps to stop viruses before they reach your device by alerting you if you visit a webpage that has a suspected virus.  Kids Safe is a parental control feature allowing you to block certain categories of websites such as gambling or adult content, which may not be suitable for younger members of the household, and you can also block social networking and gaming sites at times of the day when you want the kids to be concentrating on their homework by using the Homework Time feature. HomeSafe is easy to activate by taking just a few simple steps in My Account.  To find out more about HomeSafe and to get top tips on how to stay safe online visit www.talktalk.co.uk/security.
