LOCAL RAPID CITY MAN WINS FREE BLUEPEAK INTERNET SERVICE FOR A YEAR

Bluepeak

Eric Peltier’s range of emotions when he found out he won Bluepeak ’s Streamin’ Summer Sweepstakes ran the full gamut. “Paranoia and skepticism and then acceptance and excitement,” he laughed. “I never win anything so I was really excited and still am!” When reality set in for the Rapid City, S.D., resident, he walked away with 12 months of free one gigabit-per-second (Gbps) service from Bluepeak. A fiber internet package valued at $1,000. Peltier plans to take full advantage of it. Earlier this year he specifically moved from Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to Rapid City just for Bluepeak internet. Peltier has plans to become an internet content creator, but that requires internet that wasn’t available on the reservation. So he and his cousin packed up and headed north. “When I moved back I said, ‘Yeah, I’m getting Bluepeak. I’m not messing around with Midco,’” Peltier recalled. “I went straight to Bluepeak. No question. Just immediate.” In fact, testing Bluepeak’s internet service was the web creator’s top priority when he finally got into his apartment. “My cousin and I jumped right into streaming,” he said. “Boxes not even unpacked, we set up the PC and cranked out a stream.” Peltier streams himself playing Apex Legends – an online battle royale game – through Twitch, a live streaming service catering to esports. The immersive game and live stream requires a lot of download and upload speed. Fortunately, Bluepeak is the best “game” in town with fast, reliable and affordable internet. Bluepeak features all-in, transparent pricing, where the price on the website is the price on the bill, with download speeds up to one gigabit-per-second (Gbps). With Bluepeak, local residences and businesses get faster speed, equal upload and download speeds, and eero Secure, which provides whole-home WiFi and protects devices from online threats, ads and allows for customized content filtering. Eric has seen that advantage for himself, describing Bluepeak’s service as “fantastic.” “I would 100 percent recommend Bluepeak to people who talk about internet service,” he said. Those in South Dakota looking for more information on available packages can visit mybluepeak.com. About Bluepeak Bluepeak is building a faster, more reliable internet without the things that get in the way of great service - like red tape, hidden fees, and slow response times. Offering up to 5 gigabits of speed for residential customers and 10 gigabits for businesses, Bluepeak is a whole new ballgame - from internet to TV, to connecting every device in a home, to powering a business, Bluepeak not only provides the best fiber connections in the communities it serves, but also meets the growing needs for how its customers live.

LOCAL CHEYENNE MAN WINS FREE BLUEPEAK INTERNET SERVICE FOR A YEAR

Bluepeak

Long-time Cheyenne resident Robert Motily was recently notified he was a winner in Bluepeak ‘s Streamin’ Summer Sweepstakes. Motily – an Air Force veteran and retired federal employee – said he was “pleasantly surprised” about the prize and shared a ringing endorsement of his new fiber internet provider. “I’ll say whether I won or not, the Bluepeak experience has been really good,” Motily said. That high praise comes after just one month of service from Bluepeak. From a salesman answering all of his questions to construction crews visiting a couple of times to return his lawn to his satisfaction, the retiree added he would definitely recommend Bluepeak service to others. Now that he’s also a Streamin’ Summer Sweepstakes winner Motily will now be enjoying 12 months of free one gigabit-per-second (Gbps) service from Bluepeak. The winning fiber internet package is valued at $1,000. Bluepeak launched service in Cheyenne in late January and recently passed 1,000 subscribers in the city. Bluepeak recently chose to expand to communities in Wyoming because it believes the size of the city shouldn’t determine the quality of the technology. Research shows that high-speed internet has been a challenge for many in the Cowboy State. According to broadbandnow.com, Wyoming ranks 43 rd in the nation based on internet coverage, speed and availability. A Wyoming Tribune-Eagle report from last year pointed out that many in the state find themselves paying more for slower internet speeds and without any options. Robert switched to Bluepeak after years of price increases from his previous internet provider, saying “they’re pretty famous for that.” Bluepeak offers great value, with a minimum speed tier of one gigabit-per-second (Gbps) internet service at just $50 per month. Those in Cheyenne looking for more information can visit mybluepeak.com. Residents and businesses interested in service availability or details on the construction process can sign up for updates by entering their service address at mybluepeak.com.

I would definitely recommend Bluepeak.” Newkirk Staples has especially been impressed lately with Bluepeak’s customer service and installation technicians. “We were thinking of upgrading or downgrading our service a few months ago,” she said. “If it wasn’t satisfactory, we would potentially go to another provider here in town. But they were very helpful and the individuals that we talked to convinced us to stay.” Richele realized Bluepeak provides the fastest, most reliable and affordable internet in Worthington.

If Your Business Needs A Secure and Private Messaging Platform, This Might Be For You

Sekur Private Data Ltd

In late October, Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) will launch an enterprise version of SekurMessenger for businesses and governmental organizations requiring message archiving and mass onboarding for new employees. The solution will continue building more features to form an extensive comprehensive platform by the end of the year, serving its existing emerging markets enterprise customers and new clients to be launched in the USA in 2023. Sekur is a US listed cybersecurity and internet privacy company, with roots in Switzerland, that provides Swiss hosted secure communications and data management. It uses military-grade encryption security and combines it with its own infrastructure located in Switzerland, and Swiss data security practices and laws. All user data is protected by the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (FADP) and the Swiss Federal Data Protection Ordinance. Sekur’s use of some of the strongest privacy protection in the world for individuals and entities makes its Swiss-hosted services attractive. SekurMessenger – Now Available For Business SekurMessenger, one of the flagship products from Sekur Private Data, has expanded to include a proprietary feature – a technology that it calls SekurArchive. SekurArchive will allow business clients to archive all employee messages and manage them for the time required by its regulatory body while simultaneously allowing the business employee to use the Self-Destruct feature, a popular aspect of the messaging platform. With this expansion, Sekur’s solution based on strict Swiss privacy practices is now available for businesses in the finance, legal, medical and other business sectors and governmental organizations, where confidential information must be secured and protected. SekurMessenger now also has the capacity to facilitate the registration of thousands of users at once, bringing convenience to companies that are mass onboarding users — whether they be employees or clients. This feature was originally developed to meet the needs of clients from Latin America and is now being implemented worldwide. The feature will eliminate the hassle of having a company’s users register themselves, improving convenience and efficiency. Another function of the platform that will further boost security is a proprietary technology called Chat-By-Invite. This feature allows a SekurMessenger user to invite a non-SekurMessenger user to chat in a fully secure way without downloading the app or registering as a user themselves. At the end of the chat, the conversation initiator has the ability to terminate the conversation, and all traces of the conversation are deleted from all users, including the non-SekurMessenger recipient. Chat-by-Invite can use SMS to anyone in 61 countries, and email invitations to any email worldwide. Why SekurMessenger Is Needed In Today’s Workforce In a world with a plethora of messaging apps available, cybersecurity is becoming a growing concern. Companies, especially in sectors with strict privacy laws and regulations, must be confident that their communication is secure. Recent events have highlighted the importance of selecting the most secure solution for your business — U.S. banks were recently fined almost $2 billion collectively for using popular messaging apps like WhatsApp to communicate confidential information, resulting in regulatory breaches. In August, Signal, another messaging app, announced that a third-party breach resulted in over 1,900 of its users’ phone numbers being exposed. While Signal has also doubled down on its commitment to encryption since then, similar stories continue to plague many other companies, as well. Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data, said of the company’s feature expansion for businesses: "Financial organizations have contacted us and have requested these features, in order to have a more private and secure offering as compared to what is available in the market today. This milestone permits us to offer a unique package of secure and private communications to large organizations and governments worldwide looking to protect their communications without having to divulge their phone numbers, without data mining and location tracking. As we are not connected to any Big Tech platform, we can offer a truly independent, private and secure means of communications without any data mining or location mining, through our proprietary technology and infrastructure based in Switzerland." As workforces increasingly become remote or hybrid, messaging platforms will become even more pertinent to workplace communication, as will cybersecurity. Offering protection based on the strict Swiss privacy laws, Sekur has built a brand that prides itself on state-of-the-art technology allowing for secure and private communication. Sekur Private Data Ltd. is a Cybersecurity and Internet privacy provider of Swiss hosted solutions for secure communications and secure data management. The Company distributes a suite of secure cloud-based storage, disaster recovery, document management, encrypted e-mails, and secure communication tools. Sekur Private Data Ltd. sells its products through its websites www.sekur.com and www.sekursuite.com, and approved distributors, and telecommunications companies worldwide. Sekur Private Data Ltd. serves consumers, businesses and governments worldwide. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

LOCAL SIOUX FALLS MAN WINS FREE BLUEPEAK INTERNET SERVICE FOR A YEAR

Bluepeak

Jeremy Hofer of Sioux Falls, S.D., has seen his share of economic volatility. The 37-year-old father of two lived through the financial collapse of 2009 as well the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Now he sees the warning signs of uncertainty ahead in 2023. “All the inflation going on,” Hofer lamented. “Everything is going up in prices.” Everything except his internet bill, that is. Recently, Hofer received the news that he had won Bluepeak’s Streamin Summer Sweepstakes. Hofer, who works in software sales, walked away with 12 months of free one gigabit-per-second (Gbps) service, a fiber internet package valued at $1,000. “I was like, ‘Wow, that’s pretty awesome,’” he said. “It helps save money, especially the way the economy is right now, having that additional money in your pocket.” At a time when many are preparing for a challenging time ahead, Hofer is one of thousands in South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming and Oklahoma that fiber internet provider Bluepeak is hoping to help by providing affordable, stable, reliable options. Hofer, a resident of Sioux Falls’ Bakker Park neighborhood, expressed the prize will be a relief on his personal finances for the next year. “If you think about it, that’s grocery money for the week or that’s money you can use towards fuel,” Hofer pointed out. “That’s always a plus to have to worry about one less bill. If you have a student loan payment or a car payment or a house payment, it’s not having that worry there.” Hofer remains optimistic heading into what may be an economic downturn in 2023. “Long term, you just go figure it out,” said Hofer. “That’s all you can do. Make it work with what you have available.” Thanks to his recent luck, and Bluepeak, Hofer will have one less bill to his name. Even without the sweepstakes prize, Hofer confirmed he would “definitely” recommend Bluepeak as one of the fastest, most reliable and affordable internet options in Sioux Falls. Bluepeak features all-in, transparent pricing, where the price on the website is the price on the bill, with download speeds up to one gigabit-per-second (Gbps).

LOCAL ENID MAN WINS FREE BLUEPEAK INTERNET SERVICE FOR A YEAR

Bluepeak

Robert Johnson remembered entering Bluepeak ‘s Streamin’ Summer Sweepstakes, but the Enid, Okla., resident was suspicious when he recently got an email saying he won. “To be honest, at first I thought this has to be a fake email,” he laughed. After calling and confirming his name had indeed been drawn to receive 12 months of free one gigabit-per-second (Gbps) internet service from Bluepeak, Johnson shared the good news with his wife, Donna. “I told my wife you’re not going to believe this, but we won,” Johnson recalled. “She was totally stoked. We both were.” The two snagged the fiber internet package, valued at $1,000, after switching to Bluepeak in April. Robert said they “jumped on it” as soon as service was available in Enid, because of a history of unreliable, slow internet from other providers in the area. Robert, who works with flight simulators at Vance Air Force Base, was so excited to get Bluepeak that he convinced his neighbors on beither side of him to hook up as well. “I told them the difference is going to be huge and it was,” Johnson confirmed. “They came back and told me that they’ve been telling people too.” With word spreading throughout Enid, Robert mentioned he will “no doubt” continue to preach the advantages of Bluepeak. He’s found the service to be faster and more reliable for use during extensive gaming and streaming. He even mentioned Bluepeak’s customer service is better than the competition’s. “I have to say I love the customer service,” he said. “I’ve only had to call once, but they’ve been nothing but nice. They were really helpful and checked everything and it happened exactly how they said it would.” In addition to Enid, Bluepeak has dramatically improved internet options in other new Sooner State communities, like Perry, Bartlesville, Stillwater, and more. Interested Oklahomans can confirm service availability with their address at mybluepeak.com.
