Who is
Advanced Broadband?
We offer fast
internet service in areas not served by the wired phone companies or
cable.
What does
Advanced Broadband offer?
Broadband
internet. ACS LLC, our parent company, also offers consulting, digital phone, and
dialup internet service.
Do you
guarantee I can get internet service at my home?
No. Where
exactly do you live? By using your street address, our radio link
test tool will indicate if we may, might, or do not have usable coverage
at your location.
How is this
installed and what is involved?
This service
is installed similar to a very small outside FM radio antenna - with a network cable
running inside to a router. From the router, you can connect a
network cable to your computer. There have been some cases where the length /
complexity of the network installation have exceeded what Advanced
Broadband considers to be a standard install. If this applies
to your installation, we will notify you.
Do I have to
purchase any equipment?
All equipment
is provided after the service agreement is signed. The radio
equipment rental is included on the monthly service bill. You
will need to purchase a router if you wish to use more than one
computer ; or you can lease one from us for $5 / month.
Our
installation team will verify your connection is working from the
router - which is connected to our equipment. You are
responsible for equipment connected on your side of the router.
Is there an
installation fee?
Yes, there is
a standard
installation fee.
In rare cases, the cable installation for our equipment has exceeded
what Advanced Broadband considers to be a standard install. If
this applies to your location, additional charges may apply, and we will notify you
of this. For more information on installation fees in your area, see
pricing.
Is there a
monthly service fee?
Yes it is
$65.00 a month for home users, and $85 a month for business users,
with a 12 month agreement. This includes your radio equipment rental.
See pricing for more information.
Advanced
Broadband will bill your credit card through an
electronic transaction or you can mail a check or money order in to
us. We also accept paypal from our homepage. Invoices are emailed in pdf format ; If you require a
paper statement, there will be a $2.00 per month billing charge.
Is there a
disconnect fee if I am displeased with the service?
If we agree
service is an issue, a 30 day refund policy applies. After 60 days
it is $200.00 (as you are terminating your contract early).
Can I have
more than one device on the service?
Yes. We often
see more than one computer connected to our service - as well as
X-box,
Tivo, etc. You are responsible for equipment on your side of the
Advanced Broadband router.
How long does
it take for Advanced to install the equipment?
Typically 3
hours, but occasionally it takes longer. Advanced Broadband tries very
hard to work with your schedule and availability.
