FAQ'sQ: I have a lot of trees, will this be a problem? A: Yes, this system works with line of sight. This means if you can see our tower then you can get service. If you don't have a clear line of sight then there are other things that can be worked out at the owners expense.
Q: I already have internet through another provider with e-mail and web space, will I get to keep them? A: No, most providers will delete your e-mail and web space when you leave them. We DO NOT provided e-mail services from us. We will make sure every user has an online/free e-mail account (Hotmail, Gmail, or AOL) before everything is setup.
Q: Does someone need to be at home for you to install the system? A: Yes, someone listed on the account needs to be at the site for site survey and installation. Most of the time this will happen the same day. A normal installation is about 2 hours depending on issues that may come up.
Q: Can we just connect this service to a computer? A: Yes, but that is very unsecured and you are at a higher risk of being hacked. We recommend running a router to help protect you.

Q: If my computer can't load up, do we call you? A: No, if your computer can't even get to a web browser then you need to call tech support for your system.
