Bandwidth

To help you avoid costly overage charges for bandwidth we have implemented a new system that will automatically stop your intenret service when you have reached your bandwidht limits. This system is intended to help save you money. If you reach your bandwidth limit and your service is interrupted you can call the Wasilla Office and prepay for more bandwith. As a convienance we will automatically email you when you are getting close to your bandwidth limits, we will also notify you when you have reached your limit. These email alerts will be sent to the email address we have on file for you, if you would like to update or add an email address where you will receive these alerts please contact the Wasilla Office and we would be happy to assist you.
