WHAT WE SUPPORT

It is hard to overstate how varied and harsh the locations are where we install gear. We take great care to harden these installations against the many scenarios that cause failures, including power surges, lightning, wind, salt, flora, fauna, etc. We take pride in our track record of installations that last for many years without repair.

We support your Primary Internet Service, which includes your roof/treetop radio dish and the first Further Reach supplied WIFI router.

We also offer support for Custom Projects, which is anything beyond your Primary Internet Service, including expanding your WIFI coverage, adding VPNs or Static IPs, Surveillance Cameras, or just helping with a testy device.

 

SUPPORT + REPAIR POLICY – Primary Internet Service

Support and repairs for your Primary Internet Connection are generally at no charge. However, we charge on a time and materials basis ($100/hr with a one-hour minimum) in cases of damage caused by the customer (negligence) or for the cost of a tree climber if one is needed and you opt out of Tree Support.

The final determination of whether we charge for a repair will be at our sole but reasonable discretion.

 

SUPPORT + REPAIR POLICY – Tree Support

Your monthly Tree Support payment ($18 as of December 2023), covers the costs of maintaining the customer equipment we need to install in a tree. Tree Support is only applicable if your radio is installed in a nearby tree.

We are very proud of our highly innovative use of trees to support our mission of providing excellent and reliable service throughout our rugged and densely forested service area.

The Tree Support program aims to reduce the financial impact and risk that tree installations would otherwise impose on you.  In the past, customers were required to pay for the initial tree climb to install equipment and any subsequent climbs necessary to maintain or repair the equipment  (installations require a climb every 1-3 years at a cost of $200-400 each).

  • The policy covers tree climbing costs related to supporting and maintaining your equipment.  It does not cover any climbs required due to customer negligence.
  • Our Tree Support Policy becomes active on your first covered tree climb.  Once enrolled in Tree Support, it cannot be canceled.
  • Existing clients are not required to sign up for Tree Support until they need a tree climb.

SUPPORT + REPAIR POLICY – Custom Projects

Support for Custom Projects is offered on a time and materials basis. Our current hourly rate is $100 with a one-hour minimum.

Note that repair times for Custom Projects can be much longer than for our Internet Service.  Repair times are subject to delays because  1) not all of our staff is trained to service the Custom Project, and 2) we do not stock replacement parts and will need to place orders as needed.
