Please make sure that you have these items in place and functioning properly before requesting service.

* Actual DSL speed is limited by factors that include, but are not limited to, distance from the phone company switching gear, internal home wiring quality, and type of DSL service equipment used at the phone company's switching equipment location.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a $20.83 per month remaining on first year cancelation fee charged by these phone companies, which we pass along, for any accounts that cancel service within one calendar year from the date of the telephone company's initial programming and installation. For example, if you were to cancel after 8 Months; $20.83 X 4 months remaining, would be a $83.32 cancelation fee. Customers interested in seasonal service should contact our DSL Coordinator for more information regarding applicable fees.
