Credit card fraud is a major issue that has been plaguing merchants for years. The theft of credit card numbers and other sensitive personal data costs businesses and their customers millions of pounds annually.

Let AGT Help You Get Your Free Upgrade to Windows 10

At long last the launch date of Windows 10 has been announced. We wrote about the impending 2015 arrival of Windows 10 last month on this blog, but we did not have an official launch date. Now we do. In an announcement made in January of this year by Terry Myerson, operating system chief for Microsoft, the coming arrival of the new system came with the promise of free upgrades. Any current user of Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows Phone 8.1 can take advantage of this free gift, but they need to do so within one year of the launch and that date is 29 July, 2015. Myserson has stated that Windows 10 is more of a service than simply a piece of software, and as such the company will continue to provide free updates for the life of the device.

Fibre Optic Broadband Comes to Whitehills Business Park

Things are starting to get a little more connected in the area of Blackpool and Fylde. For too long both residents and businesses in rural Britain have had to get by on a lack of fibre optic broadband. These areas are called “not spots,” which may be a clever play on “hot spots,” but there’s nothing funny about it if you live and do business in these areas. While there is much to be said for living a peaceful and pastoral life, it can be frustrating for those who wish to connect to the Internet at a faster speed than they are able. The good news is that the area of Whitehills business park, located at Junction 4 on the M55, finally has access to fibre optic broadband. Fibre optic is now available with estimated speeds of 50mbs. This is quite a boost from previous speeds of about 1mbs.
