FAQ: What do I need?

Broadband Modem You will need a broadband modem to connect to the Orcon broadband network. If you currently have broadband with another provider, then your existing modem should be able to connect to Orcon broadband. We can also rent you a modem if that suits Broadband enabled phone line To allow you to talk and use the internet at the same time, your line needs to be set up to separate the voice and data components at your premises and the local telephone exchange. Line filter(s) To separate the voice and data streams coming over your phone line, you need to have a line filter installed which provides phone and internet jack points. This is automatically included if you go for a "Full Install", but for "Self Install" options you will need to purchase a line filter for each jack point you plug a device into. Note: not needed with Orcon Genius. Ethernet or USB-capable computer We generally recommend you have a 1Ghz or faster computer with an Ethernet networking card or USB port onboard to get the best out of the internet.

FAQ: What can I do with my Cloud computer?

A Cloud computer is the same as any other server you might want to use. You could use it simply as a web server, mail server, LAMP server or DB server. The difference is that you only pay for your usage.

FAQ: How long does it take for an Orcon Cloud to become available?

They’re available as soon as you configure your Cloud. Each update you make is also comes into effect immediately. Charging starts as soon as you activate your Cloud but when you put your cloud into standby mode the charges reduce.
