Dialup USA

We will supply a simple piece of HTML code that you can put on your website for customers to place DSL orders. This order form will automatically work with the prices you set to offer the customers your exact custom tailored DSL plans. The customers must go to your website and fill in their 10 digit local telephone number that is currently being serviced as a local telephone line directly by our current carriers (AT&T, Verizon, or Qwest) and their correct physical address associated with the 10 digit telephone number they provided. It will guide the user through the process of signing up. You cannot manually setup customers in the management interface. All orders must go through the HTML code on your site.

- What is the ordering process?

The order is placed off your website and it sends an email to the order notification email address that you have on file with us.
You must then check the box in the "orders" section of your admin interface to send the order to us.
At the end of the next business day you should have a reply on the order. The reply of "completed" will then list an activation date on the order. If the order says "error" then please check the notes on the account because we may be looking for more info from you. Reply in the notes section if necessary. If the order says "cancelled" then no DSL service is available or you have cancelled the order
For a completed order, it will take 3-5 business days for the DSL circuit to be installed by the LEC. The activation date will be listed under the details of the order.

Verizon Naked DSL Info

On Jan 1 2008 we have launched Naked DSL service in the Verizon markets. This means that the Customers do not have to qualify using a 10 digit telephone number but instead they can qualify by address.

- How do I cancel or temporarily suspend a DSL user

To suspend a user you must log into your admin interface and click on "Customers". Then click on the suspend button to suspend a user. To cancel a user click on the "Contact Us" section and click on the top link on that page that says "click here". You will need to select "cancellation" from the drop down menu and full 10 digit phone number of the order you wish to cancel in order for it to be processed. The cancellation of a DSL account will take 3-5 business days to complete.

Billing

- How am I billed?

DSL charges are pro-rated based on the calendar date of signup to the 1st of the next calendar month. The monthly recurring charges will start again on the 1st of the month. Cancellations are also prorated based on the specific day of cancellation. Please note that this will be 3-5 days AFTER you request it to be cancelled.

Invoices - In your management interface there is a section called "BILLING" that you can click on and pay your monthly invoices via credit card. If you wish to mail a check, the mailing address is available in that section as well. We send out our monthly invoices on the 5th-8th of the calendar month and require payment by the 1st of the next calendar month. We do collect prepayment for all DSL charges and expect you do bill your customers in advance as well.

- How are the DSL customers billed?

You will be responsible for all the billing of your DSL users. This includes any setup fees, monthly fees, DSL modem fees, installation charges and early termination penalties. As your customer continues through the signup process on your website, all of the info collected including name, address and credit card info will be given to you so that you can process the customer's payments right away. We require that you check a box in our management interface saying that you have "reviewed" the order, before we will actually place the DSL order with the LEC. This insures that you have charged your customer's credit card or arranged payment from your customer via another method prior to any charges being incurred by yourself.

Pricing

- What is the initial setup fee and recurring fees?

It is a one time $200 setup fee to join our Wholesale DSL Service. There is a yearly renewal fee of $200 per year if you wish to remain in our program. It should only take 4 DSL users with you making $5 profit each per month to cover the cost of this a$ renewal fee. Of course we hope that you have WAY MORE than 4 DSL users a year from now.

- Are there any minimum commitments?

Our Wholesale DSL contract contains a no minimum policy and we do not require that you have a set number of DSL subscribers on the system. We supply DSL service to both large and small DSL resellers.

- Do I get a discount for bulk orders?

There is currently no bulk order pricing available. The prices you see are the prices that we have to offer. In the future we hope to use our large volume of DSL subscribers to further negotiate our contracts with AT&T, Verizon, and Qwest to get lower pricing.

- Can I set my own DSL pricing and packages?

Of course you can! You can set pricing packages for monthly, yearly, with or without DSL modems ... the customization is up to you. We have a very simple "subscriptions" section in the management interface where you can set your own pricing for all of the DSL services and speeds that are offered.

- How can I compete with lower DSL prices than what I can offer?

We've found ISP's to be successful because most ISP's with good customer service can make up for the extra couple bucks in price. Customer loyalty to your brand, email, portal and such will drive them to purchase service from you. Many times this easily makes up for the $5 more in price that you have to charge to remain profitable.

DSL providers have constantly offered promo prices to get you in the door and then raise rates after the initial 3, 6 or 12 month period to a rate where they make money. In test scenarios upwards of 80% of customers will agree to the increased rates after the promo period is over.

General Questions

- What do I do if no DSL service is available?

If no DSL service is available then you can always attempt to have the user signup for the dialup access that we have supplied for years. We are trying to expand our DSL coverage footprint in the future to add the Bellsouth, Covad and Bell Canada areas however no eta is currently available for these areas. It is imperative that the user enter a correct 10 digit landline telephone number that is currently with AT&T, Verizon or Qwest in order to qualify for service.

Our API's are hooked right up to AT&T, Verizon and Qwest's systems so the DSL qualification process should be pretty accurate. Unfortunately, due to many conditions we cannot always determine if DSL is immediately available and more testing may need to be done to determine this. Factors that cause this include...

Newly installed telephone lines
A customer being right on the "edge" of coverage
The telephone number and address not matching the LEC's records, must be a direct LEC customer.
The fact that nothing is 100% accurate when dealing with telco's
other various reasons

DSL MODEMS

- How are the modems shipped to the customers?

If you purchase DSL modems from us then we will ship them to you. You would then insert instructions or cd software along with your name, number, etc and ship them to your users.

- How much do DSL modems cost?

We offer DSL modems for sale. The current model that we are selling is a D-Link 2320B which comes in standard bridge mode but can be configured to do PPPoE authentication. We sell them in increments of 10. They are $35.00 per modem plus shipping and include the modem, power supply, 4 micro filters, 1 phone splitter, and an Ethernet and phone cable. We offer a 90 day warranty on these units. You can find technical specifications on these units on the D-Link website at: http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=2&pid=554

Technical Specifications Required: MUST be an ADSL modem that supports RFC1483 / Bridge Mode and DMT (g.DMT) VP set to 0 VC set to 35

You can place an order for modems directly in the backoffice management website once your wholesale DSL account is setup with us. Here is the URL: http://orders.value.net/Tools/Administration/ModemRequest/Default.aspx

- Can a customer use their own modem?

Of course they can.

- Can I resell my own modems/routers?

Of course you can. This would be a great way to up sell your customers to a wireless router too =).
