Canceling your Internet services

Canceling your Internet service is easy.  All you have to do is notify us that you wish to cancel.  Cancellations MUST be verified by us to be accepted.  Simply leaving a message on our voice mail does not constitute your service cancellation.  We must personally verify you with your account to accept your cancellation. 

Please see our terms and conditions for a complete description of our cancellation policy.

Cancellation policies incorporated into special service contracts supersede these policies.


Get it in writing!

There is nothing better to dispute a cancellation than to have it in writing.  Written proof can be in the form of:

1. Send us an email to cancel your service.  You must receive a cancellation confirmation from us via a reply email.  Just because an email to us is in your "Sent Box" doesn't mean that we got it.  Our email addresses can be found by clicking here
2. Send us a letter with a self addressed stamped envelope requesting confirmation of your cancellation.  You can find our mailing address by clicking here
3. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page and follow the instructions.

You will receive full refunds for any extra charges that may have accidentally occurred, if you have written proof of cancellation and we then continued to bill you. 


Past due accounts:

Past due accounts may not be cancelled until brought current.  Past due accounts will incur continued charges until brought current at which time you may request to cancel your service.  Your service will be billed accordingly by us until you cancel it, no exceptions.  Past due accounts may become inactive until brought current and will still continue to be billed as normal until brought current.  We reserve the right to make service unavailable to non-paying customers, yet still continue with new charges until an account is brought current.
 

Refund Policy:

Accounts billed monthly are not eligible for refunds. 
Accounts billed annually and semi annually can receive refunds for early service cancellation under these terms.  1) There is a $20 refund fee; 2) Your account will be back-billed at full rate and then the remainder will be calculated and then refunded; 3) partial months are not credited
If you pay us by credit card, you must notify us at least 5 days prior to the next billing period as this is when we batch credit cards for processing.  Once batched, we cannot reverse a credit card charge.  Call us to find out when your billing period ends.  It will be on the 3rd, 10th, 17th or 24th of the month.
Never request your credit card company to reverse a charge, we always win that battle.  Also, by reversing a credit card charge you are accusing us of falsely charging your credit card, which would constitute a felony on our behalf.  We would have no other choice than to file appropriately against you to protect ourselves from this allegation.  We have simple, common sense policies that are easy to understand and follow.
We refund when it's due, with the appropriate amount and we do not refund when it's not due.
 

Please note some common misconceptions:

1. Canceling your DSL circuit with Qwest, or moving your DSL to another Internet provider does not cancel your DSL service with us.  You MUST contact us if you wish for us to stop billing you for your DSL Internet access.
2. Web hosting continues until you request us to stop.  Your selling of your domain name, web site or company does not constitute cancellation of web hosting services.  Allowing your domain name to expire does not constitute termination of your hosting agreement with us.
3. Lack of using your dial-up account is not terms for receiving a refund.  Your dial-up account will stay active and available for your use until you cancel that service with us.  Refunds are not possible just because you did not use it.
4. Your inability to use your account due to system errors on your part does not entitle you to a refund of services.  If you are having trouble with your service please contact us right away.  We will respond to your technical support issues according to our technical support guidelines.  If you get our voice mail and you do not leave a message, then we do not know that there is a problem.  If you leave a voice mail for us and we cannot get a hold of you via your return information, it is not our duty to continue trying until you answer.  We cannot help if you do not have voice mail and we get a busy signal when we call and we will not waste our time by continually calling you.  Please do your due diligence and call us back.
5. Calling and saying "I called you a long time ago and canceled your service" does not cut it.  If we can't find written proof, such as an email trail or putting notes in your account, then we cannot verify your cancellation and we will not honor any cancellation date other than the current day that you are calling.  We are not a large company that loses customers in the shuffle.  We know every one of our customers and we keep close track of account changes.  Under no circumstances will refunds be given if you try this.
6. For the most part, leaving a message for us (if you get voice mail) should be enough to cancel your service, but don't rely on it.  Oh so many times people leave messages for us that are garbled.  Many times there is not enough information left by the caller to find an account and the phone number left by the caller is not clear, leaving no way to cancel an account.  This may be why item 5 above is common.  If you leave a message, be sure to call back at a later time to verify your cancellation.
