What's included in the Standard Broadband Service?

3Mbps Class Service: 1 static IP and 5 email addresses each with 100 Mb of personal web & mail server storage per email account.

The system uses shared bandwidth between many users on the same access point. We make our best effort to always provide at 3 Mbps web downloads, but your speeds may vary due to congestion, interference or environment factors. All uploads and other protocols (i.e.  FTP, SSH, NNTP etc) download at 1 Mbps max.

To take maximum advantage of the Lucketts.net broadband service, the customer should have at least one computer with a working ethernet port. Anything less could seriously hamper your web-surfing experience. Lucketts.net technicians can install ethernet cards, cable, routers, firewalls and do general in-home networking for an additional fee. 

Billing is done via email, with an invoice being sent out 10 days before the bill is due. Since almost all of our customers have computers, we rely on e-mail billing. Snail mail (USPS) billing is available for those that must have paper copies sent in envelopes. Our billing service is quite happy to do that for us, but since they charge us by the  piece, we pass that extra cost on as a fee of $2.50/month.  For those customers without computers, we may waive the extra fee.

 

Contract or no-contact?

We do not require contracts. You buy a month of service from us, and next month you buy another month of service.  You can stop at any time with no penalty. But, some customers have asked us for a way to slightly lower that monthly bill, so we now offer a 1 year contract at $60/month. Ask for details if interested.

If we move, will you release us from the contract?

Yes.  If a customer moves from their service address we will release them from the contract and waive all early termination fees.

 

What if I own a suitable radio already?

We no longer sell the radios to customers, and hesitate to use a customer supplied radio. Radios can cause trouble on the network if they are damaged, and they cannot be freely swapped out during a service call if we do not own them. And if we need to change the radio band serving an area, the customer owned radio may not be compatible with the new network.

 

What is included with Standard Installation?

Standard Installation installs a suitable radio by bracket or satellite dish mount on exterior or attic of home, and includes up to 50 ft of cable brought into attic or basement or penetration of 1 wall, and configuration of PC or router to work with network. Not included: fishing wires inside of walls, installing your home network, poles, tripods, towers. If an installation requires amplified radios or special antennas or additional equipment, a custom quote will be provided.

Will you price match your competition?

If you are offered internet service from our competition, please give us a chance to match their price & plan to keep you as a customer. If possible, we will match terms of any other wireless or satellite plan and beat their web download speeds.  For example,  if WildBlue's plan is $120 setup for 450 Kbps down/256K up at $49/m with an 18 month contract that increases to $59 per month at 12 months, we will give you the same contract terms and beat their speeds by at least 25%. We'd prefer not to do this, as our standard plan is already a much better value than this, and we prefer not to require contracts.
