Q.
|
How do I get activated on the BNS system?
|
|
A.
|
Call BNS or Freespace to update your contact and payment info, and
BNS will activate your logon ID on their system. When you are
speaking with them they will set an appointment to call you back
and make the final changes to the settings on your computer. They
will walk you through it during the phone call.

What if I go over the monthly hours allowed on my package?

policy that if a client upgrades to the next service level,
overages will be forgiven.

Q.

How do I pay for my Internet service?
|
|
A.

You can pay monthly auto-debit from a credit card or bank account,
or annually by cash, credit card or cheque.
You can complete any of the forms at the Freespace office, have
the forms faxed to you from BNS, or print the auto-debit authorization
from our site and return it by fax, mail or even drop it off at the
Freespace office.
Businesses can be invoiced monthly, quarterly or annually, in
addition to auto-debit.

Q.

I have a business package, including hosting, how does
this affect me?
|

A.

BNS will be providing your dial-up connectivity and Freespace will
continue on with your development and hosting. Your package prices
remain the same, with BNS billing you. Just like any customer, you
will need to update your contact info and have your ID activated on
the BNS system before November 30th.
