Upgrade Your Home Internet Security with Spectrum Internet
Being a Spectrum Internet customer has many perks. These include receiving a local, friendly customer service, internet speeds that are ideal for your family and something you might not have known, but a free add-on service to protect your home from malicious websites.
Introducing Spectrum Internet DNS Blocking service, a security and privacy enabled DNS service.
Our DNS blocking service is a free add-on for every one of our residential customers. This will be an added layer of defence to secure your network at home. It works on every single device without any setup from you!
How does Spectrum’s DNS Blocking Service benefit your business?
- A powerful blocklist: Links clicked on by the user or addressed typed into the browser are automatically cross-checked against the IBM X-Force threat intelligence database (this analysis more than 40 billion websites and tracks an estimated 17 million spam and phishing attacks daily). The system automatically blocks users from entering sites that are known to be infected.
- Privacy: Some DNS services store things like browsing histories, geographic and ID data for marketing and other purposes. Our DNS Blocking service doesn’t do any of this. No personally identifiable information is stored by the service.
- Covers multiple devices: Beyond the usual desktop, portable and mobile devices, it can also be used with Internet of Things, e.g. smart thermostats and connected home appliances, so you can make sure it’s you and only you turning up the heating!

We are so pleased to see an ISP helping us lead the way. If all ISPs adopt our services and encourage their customers to follow suit, that greatly advances the mission of the Global Cyber Alliance. It goes without saying that the majority of cybercrime uses the internet, so internet providers are an important part of keeping us safe
