Well, it looks like we have survived a fatal hard drive crash without losing too much. I have learned a few things during the last few days:1. Always have a RELIABLE backup of all important data.
2. Tapes are not always reliable.
3. Hard drives DO sometimes crash.
I am installing a new machine dedicated to backing up all system and customer files to a second hard drive and also writing them to CDRom. If this happens again, everything should be back within hours.
Thank you for your patience during this ordeal.

I would like to start this off by thanking all my customers. Without you none of this would be possible.I have been asked a few times if I was going to change my prices. I will have to answer this by saying no. We have been in business for 18 months now, and my committment is to provide you with the BEST service around. To maintain this level of service requires continual upgrades in equipment, facilities, software and training. We feel you, our customers, deserve the best connection and services possible and strive to provide that at a reasonable rate. I refuse to cut the quality of service to save a few dollars. We are committed to providing enough phone lines that you should rarely, if ever, get a busy signal.
Why we don't offer "unlimited access"
When an ISP offers "unlimited access", they open themselves up to abuse by a certain percentage of users who will not hang up when not using the Internet. This ties up equipment which could be used by other subscribers, thereby harming other users if the lines are busy. We provide a very generous 150 hours a month, which is 5 hours a day average. If you need more time than this, the charge is only $5 extra.
