Attention Cable and DSL Users:
Our data
transfer rates are the same for both uploads and downloads. For example, if
you subscribe to a 512 Kbps connection, you will get 512 Kbps in both
data directions, not just one. (Can your cable or DSL company promise this?
Most cable and DSL connections limit uploads to either 128 or 256 Kbps.)
In addition, we allow our customers to transfer at even higher speeds than
the subscribed rate ("burst" mode) during periods of light Internet
activity. Finally, other high-speed Internet providers may require you to
purchase other services from them, such as cable television and/or
telephone, for their "best" rates. We are strictly an
Internet service company. The combination of our performance, pricing and
service beats cable and DSL connections hands down. We guarantee it! Ask us
for details.
ADDITIONAL TERMS:
- The
monthly service fee is for a direct Internet connection with unlimited
usage at the subscribed bandwidth rate and for the selected term. There is
no additional charge for the residential use of more than one computer,
although additional equipment (such as a hub) may be needed to connect
these computers to the Internet.
- Customer-end equipment
supplied by TeamOrb remains the property of TeamOrb. This equipment must
be returned to TeamOrb upon discontinuation of service.
- Residential use is defined
as personal home and family use which is non-commercial nature.
Operation of web, e-mail, database and other servers through a
residential connection without our consent is prohibited.
- Actual
bandwidth speed may vary depending on a variety of factors including overall bandwidth
demands on wireless connections, other Internet traffic, and the demands on resources at
sites visited. This is true for all Internet service providers.

- The one-time setup fee
is a one-time, non-refundable charge based upon the length of customer's
commitment to TeamOrb and the bandwidth rate selected. TeamOrb installation includes
an on-premises site survey to ensure service accessibility,
configuration of customer-end
equipment, and connection of that equipment to your
computer or LAN. Customer is responsible for configuration of customer's computers and
other network devices. TeamOrb will furnish necessary configuration
instructions and information. Firm price quotes
for all services and fees will be submitted to and agreed upon by
TeamOrb and customer before commencement of any installation
work.
- A service contract
containing detailed terms of service must be signed
and the one-time setup fee paid by the customer prior to the
installation and start of
service. Monthly service fees are paid electronically and automatically each
month from the customer's bank account. An additional fee of $5.00 per
month will apply to any customer who desires to pay for service other
than by electronic means.
A reconnection fee of $50.00 will apply to any
account terminated for non-payment.
- TeamOrb also offers
commercial web site hosting, e-mail account services, point-to-point bridging between
remote LAN locations, and wireless networking within buildings. If you require any of
these services, contact us for a price quote.

About this page . .
. for the curious:
- The rate calculator
uses a simple JavaScript applet which runs on your computer when this web
page is loaded. It does not permanently store anything on your computer and does not make
any changes to your computer. Once the page is closed, the applet closes.
- The monthly service
fee is affected by two variables: (1) the
length of your commitment to TeamOrb (the longer, the better . . . for both of us),
and (2) the need for speed (the greater your connection speed, the more capacity we need
which, again, we offset with higher fees).
- The one-time setup
fee is affected by the same two variables. However, the setup fee goes down
with longer commitments and with more speed (because we can amortize our initial setup
costs with the higher monthly service fees that come with more speed and the total
increase in revenue that comes with long contract commitments).

comments regarding our rates to administrator@teamorb.net.
