Residential Services

Giving your family access to the world.
(While protecting them from it.)

The internet is an amazing tool. It's never been easier to research projects. Stay in touch with friends and relatives. Shop. Pay bills. Or even check out what's playing at the local theater.

But there's also a darker side to the internet. Pornography. Sexual predators. Viruses. And spam. These are just a few of the reasons so many residential customers are turning to Sterling's Filtered Internet Services. With Sterling, you can feel secure knowing who and what gets invited into your home.

As a local ISP, Sterling provides a unique combination of reliable technology and knowledgeable, service-oriented employees. We look forward to helping you and your family enjoy a safe, productive, and enjoyable internet experience.

Services Include:

  • High-speed filtered DSL access
  • Nationwide toll-free filtered dialup access
  • Complete email services with virus and spam filtering
  • Local customer support

Numbers to Consider:

  • 260 million. Number of pornographic web pages on the internet (increased by 20-fold in the last five years.)
  • 11 years old. Average age of first exposure to pornography on the internet.
  • 90 percent. Children age 8-16 who have accidentally stumbled across porn online (most while doing homework).

"My kids always need to access the web to do their homework. I appreciate knowing that they aren't surfing porn. And they appreciate not having me constantly watching over their shoulders."
Rick Willis, Portland

"...it has been worth every penny from the day we started to use it. I have never been hit with unwanted, pornographic material in any form using this connection. The same was not true for other connections I had used in the past. The most important thing, though, is what this does for my kids. I can let my 8 year-old surf the net without any concern that he will happen onto material that I find objectionable. When I look into the den and see him on the internet I can let him go without worrying. Thanks Sterling!"

Jim Ballard, Tualatin.

Maybe it’s time to make the Web work for you.

"Added Value. That’s what it’s all about in our business. As a web applications development company working between designers and ISPs, we understand the importance of focusing on the needs of the client every step of the way. That’s what Sterling believes, and that’s why we recommend them to our clients.

With the increased functionality and performance companies demand from their website, we couldn’t do without a strong relationship with Sterling’s Tech Support Department. Sterling is critical to what we are doing. We enjoy all the cutting-edge technology, without all the hassle."
