A Change is in the works: Update 5/13/08
We are beginning the changeover of our
backbone to a bigger, faster line. This involves switching all
IP addresses over to new numbers though and will happen
gradually over the coming months. Those who are experienced at
setting up your router/computers with your IP information,
please email
support@pyramid.net or call Todd at 888-6013 and he will
assign your new numbers for you. For those who are not
experienced at doing this on their own, our tech support staff
will be contacting you over the following months to help walk
you through changing the numbers.
VOIP Testing continues
We are in the middle of testing VOIP systems
as we gear up for customer use sometime during the week of the
19th. The ordering website will be up and ready to go then.
Bob has been using his for the last week to make long distance
calls all over the US with no problems. Stay tuned.
TELCO has raised it's rates again
Lease rates for all DSL lines
in Nevada are being raised in May for all providers
of DSL internet service. This will not effect your current bill
however rate increases will be phased in over the summer months. We
apologize for this change but we were just notified of this
increase and we just cannot find a way to absorb this one! Most
of the increases will be between $3-$5 a month.
In order to help offset this surprise increase
from AT&T as well as give our customers an option vs. Vonage and
Verizon VOIP, we are looking into the possibility of offering
our own VOIP, first to residential customers, then businesses.
This service allows low cost or flat rate long distance
telephone over your existing broadband connection (but you still
use your regular phone). This is a chance to save on your
telephone bill. We hope to be ready to start the first testing
around mid-May.
A Change is in the works

INTERnet phones and your DSL-important
This is a reminder that your DSL services
REQUIRE a hardline phone line into your house. Switching over to
these new phone systems like Charter, Vonage, Verizon VOIP, and
Echelon will terminate the data line needed for your DSL to
function. We have seen a growing number of customers lately who
have been given incorrect information in order to get you to
change your phone service, only to find their DSL connection
suddenly terminated. After which it can take weeks to get the
circuit rebuilt. So if you are considering ANY change in your
phone provider and have a DSL line, please give our tech support
a call first to check if it will work with your internet
connection.

With the cost of equipment going up we are forced to
have to charge $30 for replacement DSL modems. As always, the initial modem and
installation is still free. This is only for a replacement should one be needed.
