Protecting Internet Incoming Lines ?
Hello,
My son has his PC plugged into one of those typical 6 outlet types of AC extension strips, that also has what they call "surge protection" built into the strip.
Probably nothing but one or two MOV's.
Will probably get him some time in the near future one of those APC UPS units.
Anyway, for now, was wondering about the "necessity" of protecting his incoming
intenet connection. Only worried about transients on this line doing damage to the PC, not the temporary loss of service.
He uses Verizon via their phone lines for internet.
Think Verizon has this protected adequately, or... ?
Same question, please, but if one uses Comcast cable.
Think it's safe ?
Thanks,
Bob
