Our obligation is to provide our customers with continuous Internet access to the best of our abilities, with the caveat that interurruptions can occasionally occur, despite our best efforts. Customers are responsible for the health and proper functioning of their own computing equipment and phone lines.
While we try to assist customers in solving connection issues due to improper settings and even computer malfunction, this is beyond the scope of Internet delivery, strictly speaking. (For example, the power company is not obliged to tell its customers how to fix broken toasters and lamps. The power company's job is to keep the power flowing.)
We understand that it's increasingly difficult to find computing support from a real person, but we cannot be an all-purpose computing help-line for our customers. We do offer repair and consulting services for that purpose for $38.00/hour.
To the extent that we stretch our offerings of free help and support, we trust our customers to be tolerant when when we encounter circumstances beyond our control. |
