Pricing:
For the 2013-2014 season we have decided to make several changes all designed to simplify the accounting and to save time which we no longer have.
For as in 2011,2012, and 2013 we offer two classes of Internet service.
Our Traditional Internet service plan is designed to fulfill all of the needs of the normal internet user, software updates, email, web surfing, Facebook, Skype. The "Traditional Internet" plan is intended to provide a great internet experience for all users consuming less than 30 gigabytes of data per month.
The pricing structure of the Traditional Internet package with a 30 Gigabyte/month CAP is:
$50.00 / month for 1 to 12 months service per season
as an added reward if you pay for 12 months service in advance we will give the 12th month of service for free
Charter Members from 2010 with user numbers under 319 sH all receive a $10/month discount from the above Traditional Internet rates
After a customer has exceeded his 30 GB CAP, additional capacity is available for 1.00 / per gigabyte per month.
We are adding a proxy server to control all access to the system over the next few weeks. This proxy server will monitor your account status, Grnt access or will redirect you to an account management page where you can upgrade to a higher service plateau. Are your grandchildren coming for the holidays and might want to watch Winnie the Pooh 127 times? Not to worry, you can upgrade for only one month or for the entire year, it is entirely up to you. All upgrades can be purchased on our website on pages that have not yet been launched, or may be prepaid by check or cash just like your regular service.
We invite everyone to compare our internet rates to those of ATT and Verizon. We thought it would be helpful to compare our over CAP rate of $1/gigabyte to those of the other suppliers.
We have extracted an interesting table from the above rates discussion:
Rate Plan Details
Included Data 5 GB
Additional data $0.00048 / KB = $0.48 / MB = $480.00 / GB
Canadian Data $0.01500 / KB = $15.00 / MB = $1,500.00 / GB
International Data $0.01950 / KB = $19.50 / MB = $1,950.00 / GB
Here is a link to a recent newspaper article describing the current Verizon Wireless plans.
If you click on the link below you will be transferred to our payment page on at KCnetwork.net so your order can be processed. Payment options are explained there.
All customers should be advised that while we are planning to give every user at least 5mb average speed, that there may be times when total system load or total tower load will make this impossible. Our change to bandwidth caps is in accordance with an industry wide move to counter the huge cH allenge of high video streaming demand. All customers should recognize that while there may be times when an individual may get less than 5mb, we plan to make up for this by giving far more than 5mb most of the time.
The implication of bandwidth caps, will be a learning process. Any traffic you get will be measured. Think of that when you run a speed test which transfers a huge amount of data often over 100 MB. Ten speed tests and you have used a gigabyte and only have 9 left. Use your capacity wisely and you will have plenty. Avoid bit torrent programs which permit a stranger (often in eastern Europe) to have access to files on your computer. And your account is charged for all of his/her data transfers.
We continue to offer our VOIP telephone service as in the past for a flat rate of $15.00 for each month that the phone is turned on. The new expanded fiber system should make Voip phone calls better than ever. Sadly we must add a new term to our standard Terms of Use. Voip phones are for the user's own personal use. They are not to be "put on the back porch for the neighbors to use". While our $15.00 per month rate does and will continue to provide unlimited local and long distance calling to the US and Canada. We will allow other international calling but must limit the amount of free international calling to 100 minutes per month. International calls over 100 minutes will be billed at the same rate as we pay from a table that is shown at the bottom of this page. This will eliminate several situations where we paid from $150 to as much as $328 per month for international calls to Asia or Europe (some as long as 8 hours) for customers who were paying us $15.00. By making this change VOIP phone costs will remain unchanged for 96% of our customers while the other 4% will continue to get great value but will have to pay for excess international calls. Again, Canadian calls are treated just like US calls and are unlimited and free.
New Product Protection Plan:
One new option we have added for the 2013 -2014 season is the $5.00 /per month optional Product Protection Plan. Over the last three years we have absorbed the cost of replacing antennas that have been damaged by lightning storms. We have decided to fund the cost of these replacement costs by offering all customers a $5.00 per month Production Plan. If you purchase this plan prior to a lightning event, we will replace your antenna without charge for the antenna or labor (a #125 value). If you have elected not to purchase the product replacement plan and an antenna is distroyed, then the replacemnet cost will bt invoiced to you.
Loaner Antennas:
We are going to continue to offer a "loaner antenna" program on a limited basis. This past year meany people returned their antennas and asked that they be stored until the fall when they will be back. We simply do not have the time or space to process the deposits, install the equipment, then remove it, process the refurds, then store the equipment until next year, just to go through the process again. We are encouraging anyone who can to buy the equipment, ask your landloard to buy it if possible to eliminate the need for many of these "loaners". Where absolutly necessary we will loan the equipmenet as in the past
Antenna Installation:
How do we recommend that a new antenna be installed?
If the home is very close to one of our towers, the new antenna can be installed inside the home with no additional wiring, grounding, or lightning concerns. The cost of this type of installation is simply the $125.00 cost of the antenna and labor.
But for most users, the distance from your home to the nearest antenna is too far to allow inside installation. Therefore, we install the antenna outside, point it to the nearest tower and run Outdoor Rated (UV rated) Shielded Cat5e cable. Where the antennass need to be mounted high and are subject to lightning strikes, we drive two 8 foot ground rods (end-to-end) so the rod is 16 feet long and usually protrudes into the water table for an excellent quality ground. Then we install a Cat-5 cable lightning surge protector near where the shielded cable enters the home. This provides the best possible protection against a nearby lightning hit. Nothing will protect your antenna from a direct hit by lightning, but those odds are very low. This is exactly how we have wired all of our towers and we have received absolutely no damage to any of our equipment during the particularly violent Summer 2010, 2011 , 2012 and 2013 storm season. The total cost of a new install with the antenna,dielded cable, ground rods, lightning protector, and installation labor is $350.00and will need to be deermined on a case by case basis. You will know what the cost is going to be before the install is started.
Since many of our customers are seasonal, we are trying to plan ahead as much as possible. If you are a returning customer who had our service last year, all you need to do is send us an email and give us the approximate date of your return. If you would like us to visit your home prior to your return and verify that your internet system is operational we will be glad to do this if we know who has the key to your property and have your permission to enter the home. We need to advise last year's customers that this has been a particularly violent summer season for thunderstorms. If you did not unplug your internet equipment and/or did not have a battery backup power supply, there may have been damage done to some or all of your equipment. So it is very wise to have us check things out before you return. We will not do any work that incur any expense on your part until we have spoken with you to advise of any problems that have been found.
We hope this answers most of the antenna installation questions. If, not feel free to call Bb stab at 863-696-3217.
Payments:
We will accept payments via Cash, Check or by Credit Card. Any customers who have not paid for their 2010-2011 or 2011-2012 season service will be expected to pay any past due amount before service will be turned on for the new season.
Just send/deliver a check for the amount of service you plan to use during the next year to Bb or Virginia stab. Checks should be made payable to "KCnetwork" or to "KioskCenters LLC" and sent to:
