Customers Signup

- How do my customers signup for DSL?

We will supply a simple piece of HTML code that you can put on your website for customers to place DSL orders. This order form will automatically work with the prices you set to offer the customers your exact custom tailored DSL plans. The customers must go to your website and fill in their 10 digit local telephone number that is currently being serviced as a local telephone line directly by our current carriers (AT&T, Verizon or a number in any Covad covered territory) and their correct physical address associated with the 10 digit telephone number they provided. It will guide the user through the process of signing up. You cannot manually setup customers in the management interface. All orders must go through the HTML code on your site.

- What is the ordering process?

  1. The order is placed off your website and it sends an email to the order noti fication email address that you have on file with us.
  2. You must then check the box in the "orders" section of your admin interface to send the order to us.
  3. At the end of the next business day you should have a reply on the order. T he reply of "completed" will then list an activation date on the order. If the order says "error" then please check the n otes on the account because we may be looking for more info from you. Reply in the notes section if necessary. If the order says "cancelled" then no DSL service is available or you have cancelled the order
  4. For a completed order, it will take 3-5 business days for the DSL circuit to be installed by the LEC. The activation date will be listed under the details of the order.

Verizon Naked DSL Info

On Jan 1 2008 we have launched Naked DSL service in the Verizon markets. This m eans that the Customers do not have to qualify using a 10 digit telephone number but instead they can qualify by addres s. This is only available for users who are in Verizon territory where Verizon would supply there local telephone service if they had a land line at there residense or business.

Advantages of our Verizon Naked DSL

  1. Provide Internet access to users with no land-line (14% of all Households an d growing fast).
  2. If you currently sell VOIP, Increase margins by selling the bandwidth to you r current VoIP users.
  3. No additional fees/charges. It costs the same as standard DSL.
  4. Compete with Cable providers

- How do I cancel or temporarily suspend a DSL user

To suspend a user you must log into your admin interface and click on "Customers ". Then click on the suspend button to suspend a user. To cancel a user click on the "Contact Us" section an d click on the top link on that page that says "click here". You will need to select "cancellation" from the drop do wn menu and full 10 digit phone number of the order you wish to cancel in order for it to be processed. The cancellation of a DSL account will take 3-5 business days to complete.

Billing

- How am I billed?

DSL charges are pro-rated based on the calendar date of signup to the 1st of the next calendar month. The monthly recurring charges will start again on the 1st of the month. Cancellations are also prorat ed based on the specific day of cancellation. Please note that this will be 3-5 days AFTER you request it to be cancelled.

Invoices - In your management interface there is a section called "BILLING" that you can click on and pay your monthly invoices v ia credit card. If you wish to mail a check, the mailing address is available in that section as well. We send out our monthly invoices on the 5th-8th of the calendar month and require payment by the 1st of the next calendar month. We do collect prepayment for all DSL charges and expec t you do bill your customers in advance as well.

- How are the DSL customers billed?

You will be responsible for all the billing of your DSL users. This includes any setup fees, monthly fees, DSL modem fees, installation charges and early termination penalties. As your customer continue s through the signup process on your website, all of the info collected including name, address and credit card info will be given to you so that you can process the customer's payments right away. We require that you check a box in our management interfac e saying that you have "reviewed" the order, before we will actually place the DSL order with the LEC. This insures that you have charged your customer's credi t card or arranged payment from your customer via another method prior to any charges being incurred by yourself.

Pricing

- What is the initial setup fee and recurring fees?

It is a one time $200 setup fee to join our Wholesale DSL Service. There is a y early renewal fee of $200 per year if you wish to remain in our program. It should only take 4 DSL users with you mak ing $5 profit each per month to cover the cost of this renewal fee. Of course we hope that you have WAY MORE than 4 DSL users a year f rom now.

- Are there any minimum commitments?

Our Wholesale DSL contract contains a no minimum policy and we do not require th at you have a set number of DSL subscribers on the system. We supply DSL service to both large and small DSL resellers.

- Do I get a discount for bulk orders?

Lets Talk! There is currently no bulk order pricing available, although if you got a big enough order we can talk. We do run promos from time to time. The prices you see are the prices that we have to off er. In the future we hope to use our large volume of DSL subscribers to further negotiate our contrac ts with AT&T, Verizon, and Qwest to get lower pricing.

- Can I set my own DSL pricing and packages?

Of course you can! You can set pricing packages for monthly, yearly, with or wi thout DSL modems ... the customization is up to you. We have a very simple "subscriptions" section in the management interface where you can set your own pricing for all of the DSL services and speeds that are offered.

- How can I compete with lower DSL prices than what I can offer?

We've found ISP's to be successful because most ISP's with good customer service can make up for the extra couple bucks in price. Customer loyalty to your brand, em ail, portal and such will drive them to purchase service from you. Many times this easily makes up for the $5 more in price that you have to charge to remain profitable.

DSL providers have constantly offered promo prices to get you in the door and th en raise rates after the initial 3, 6 or 12 month period to a rate where they make money. In test scenarios upwards of 8 0% of customers will agree to the increased rates after the promo period is over.

Networks

- Where is DSL service available?

DSL service is currently offered on the AT&T, Verizon and Covad networks. The cu stomer must have a local telephone line with the carrier in order to qualify for DSL service. The 10 digit telephone number the customer uses to qualify cannot be a cell phone or VOIP telephone number.

General Questions

- What do I do if no DSL service is available?

If no DSL service is available then you can always attempt to have the user sign up for the dialup access that we have supplied for years. We are trying to expand our DSL coverage footprint in the future to add the Bellsouth, and Bell Canada areas however no eta is currently available for these areas. It is imperative that the user enter a correct 10 digit landline telephone number that is currently with AT&T, Verizon or in a Covad area in order to qualify for servi ce.

Our API's are hooked right up to AT&T, Verizon and Covad's systems so the DSL qu alification process should be prettyaccurate. Unfortunately, due to many conditions we cannot always determine if DSL is immed iately available and more testing may need to be done to determine this. Factors that cause this include...

  • Newly installed telephone lines
  • A customer being right on the "edge" of coverage
  • The telephone number and address not matching the LEC's records, must be a d irect LEC customer.
  • The fact that nothing is 100% accurate when dealing with telco's
  • other various reasons

DSL MODEMS

- How are the modems shipped to the customers?

If you purchase DSL modems from us then we will ship them to you. You would the n insert instructions or cd software along with your name, number, etc and ship them to your users.

The exception is Covad, who ships the modems to the customers directly for yo u/us.

How much do DSL modems cost?

We offer DSL modems for sale. The current model that we are selling is a D-Link 2320B which comes in standard bridge mode but can be configured to do PPPoE authentication. We sell them in increment s of 10. They are $35.00 per modem plus shipping and include the modem, power supply, 4 micro filters, 1 phone spli tter, and an Ethernet and phone cable. We offer a 90 day warranty on these units. You can find technical specif ications on these units on the D-Link website at: http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=2&pid=554

Covad's modems are shipped direct to the customer and cost $35.00 each. They wi ll be branded Covad/IKANO. We are sorry that there is no custom branding. They come with a CD to walk the user through the setup proc ess. Covad supplies a BroadXent 8012-G1 ADSL2+ modem.

Technical Specifications Required: MUST be an ADSL modem that supports RFC1483 / Bridge Mode and DMT (g.DMT) VP set to 0 VC set to 35

You can place an order for modems directly in the backoffice management website once your wholesale DSL account is setup with us. Here is the URL: http://orders.value.net/Tools/Administration/ModemReq uest/Default.aspx

- Can a customer use their own modem?

Yes in AT&T and Verizon markets. They must be Covad supplied in Covad markets.

- Can I resell my own wireless routers?

Of course you can. This would be a great way to earn a few extra bucks =). We just do not sell them.
