What does it cost?

Our intent is to make Internet service affordable to everyone on Chebeague with a computer.

The current rate structure is:
bullet $40 per month for basic service ($38 if billed by e-mail*, or if paid in advance)
bullet $20 per month for inactive (off-season) service ($19 if billed by e-mail*, or if paid in advance)
(Available only from September through April,
or by special request)
bullet Service includes four e-mail addresses, for example: islander@chebeague.net
bullet Service calls:  Free if chebeague.net equipment or installation is at fault;
 $50/hour otherwise
bullet Web hosting and other services available

Each subscriber unit costs chebeague.net approximately $600 to install.  But in the interest of making the service affordable, we offer installation under these two options:
bullet One-time equipment and installation charge of $350
bullet OR $350 spread over two years (24 payments of $14.60 per month)
bullet All equipment remains the property of chebeague.net, who is responsible for  repairs, replacements and upgrades at no further cost to the customer

Please note that chebeague.net, Inc. reserves the right to deny or limit Internet service to anyone who abuses the bandwidth resources available to chebeague.net or who knowingly allows other households to use chebeague.net bandwidth.  Unauthorized use of chebeague.net bandwidth may constitute theft of service and may be treated as such in the legal system.
