LG Wireless Phone

Is it safe to pay my bills online with Billpay using my Sprint wireless broadband connection at home?

I recently purchased a Sprint wireless broadband Sierra aircard and would like to get rid of my dial-up connection (home phone) and just use this and my cell as my communication. I just need to know how safe it would be to use my Billpay option at my bank to pay bills using this connection. I have always paid my bills using the dial-up connection without any security issues. Please advise... Thanks!

1. Using broadband service from SPRINT is almost the same as using broadband from DSL or cable. The problem you may face is how secure your PC is. If your PC is infected it doesn't matter what you use to transmit. These are best practices to protecting your computer/laptop: - Perform monthly updates of Microsoft patches - Perform daily updates of your Anti-Virus/Firewall program(s) - Perform daily updates to your Anti-Spyware and Adware program(s) - Perform a weekly scan of your hard-disk for viruses/spyware Best of all know your computer. When you are connecting on a wireless network - You see your hard-drive flashing solid green and you are not doing anything. Your computer/laptop may be infected. Have two separate logins on your computer. One with admin rights and another with regular rights. Always use the login with the regular rights. If someone hacks in during your session. The hacker is limited to the account with regular rights and can't do much. Always have a backup of your computer/laptop for restore purposes. At the end it is up to you. Never visit sites that you don't recognized and don't trust your Emails. Always take it with a grain of salt.

2. NO *_*'' Broadband connections are faster and is popular among hackers They can hack your computer faster, or you may be caught by phishing It's the best to pay by mail with a check
3. I use billpay all the time with broadband, it is safer than writing a check.
