I am unable to get
connected.
Occasionally the wireless equipment will become locked up with power fluctuations,
if you have this problem, power cycle the equipment and reboot your computer.
We recommend that your equipment is plugged into a UPS or a surge protector at
very least. If you are still unable to get connected call us at (800) 363-0989.
We had a heavy windstorm last night and I have no connection this morning.
It could be that your antenna was blown out of alignment. We can either help
you realign the antenna on the phone or we can schedule a technician service
call to realign it for you. It is best if you visually look at the antenna and
judge whether it is still pointing in the proper direction. We can help you with
those directions should you not know where the broadcast base antenna is.
Does weather affect my signal quality and performance?
Our experience tells us that weather does not degrade
your service quality. The only exception to this would be either a lightning
strike at our base or on your
equipment. We offer an inexpensive "no questions asked" assurance package that
covers your equipment cost in event of such a disaster.
How do I use my backup dialup account in event of equipment failure?
As a service to our clients, each wireless account receives a free measured backup
dialup account for your convenience. This account is limited to 25 hours/month.
If the need arrises that you will need to use the account, setup a new dialup
account on your computer, plug in the modem and set your browser to dial the
connection instead of never dial a connection. Once service is restored, you
can switch the browser back to a LAN connection.
I'm not sure I am getting the correct bandwidth for my contract terms, how
can I check this accurately?
Included is our current bandwidth test that will test your broadband connection.
Often, Internet congestion will degrade the performance of other bandwidth checks.
We have adequate backbone connections to insure that any performance degradation
is not caused by a restricted backbone. Occasionally during a major virus outbreak
a backbone can become congested and most likely the whole Internet infrastructure
is congested also. Check
