Why CCC high-speed? Why get high-speed from CCC versus the competitors? Whenever you compare different Internet providers, there are various the factors to consider: monthly price, cost and ease of installation, speed of the Internet access, and ongoing support from your provider. The information for high-speed access from Christensen Communications Company is listed below or you may call us for more details. You can contact the other Internet providers for their information. However, please don’t rely on what the other providers tell you about OUR service…come to us, we’ll give you the correct information.  LOCAL OFFICE Advantage Don’t waste your time with companies who don’t know how to pronounce the name of the town you live in, don’t know where it is, and treat you like they don’t care. CCC is locally owned and operated. Our office is conveniently located on Main Street in Madelia…drop off a payment 24 hours a day in our outside drop box or walk in during regular business hours Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. Call us at 642-5555 and talk to a real, live person immediately.  EVERY DAY PRICES to fit your budget: ►  CCC allows you to choose the price that fits your budget! ►  CCC gives discounts on Internet service to customers with CCC Long Distance. ►  CCC offers THREE different prices on high-speed access, priced according to speed:     • $29.95 for DSL Lite with Discount for CCC Long Distance ($34.95 without)     • $41.95 for DSL Basic Family with Discount for CCC Long Distance ($49.95 without)     • $62.95 for DSL Mega Family with Discount for CCC Long Distance ($69.95 without)  ►  CCC gives SUPER Discounts on packaged plans for phone and Internet service (see Plans and Pricing section). ►  CCC has NO charge for the use of our modems. FREE-QUICK-EASY installation: ►  FREE…at this time, CCC does not charge any fee for your initial installation. The use of a modem is also FREE. Many computers are ready to be hooked up to high-speed access, however older computers may need a simple, inexpensive part (an Ethernet card that costs you approximately $10.00).  ►  QUICK...your call to the CCC office will be answered immediately by a live – not automated -- customer service representative. We can usually schedule installation within 24 to 48 hours.  ►  EASY…CCC sets up appointments that fit YOUR schedule…an exact time, not a “window” of several hours. If you already have a telephone jack close to your computer, installation can be done in as little as 15 minutes. If you like, you can give our technicians permission to go into your home to hook up the DSL while you’re away…our employees are local folks that are known and trusted by our customers. PICK THE SPEED YOU NEED: ►  Choose the speed (and price) that fits your family’s needs: ►  THREE different levels of high-speed access:         ● 3 to 5 times faster* than dial-up access: $29.95 for DSL Lite with Discount for CCC Long Distance ($34.95 without) This speed requires only a few seconds to check your e-mail, download photos and surf the web.          ● 12 to 25 times faster* than dial-up access: $41.95 for DSL Basic Family with Discount for CCC Long Distance ($49.95 without) This speed reduces the time even further to check e-mail, download photos and surf the web. It also allows you to watch streaming video, movies on your computer, take online classes or play online games.         ● 18 to 32 times faster* than dial-up access: $62.95 for DSL Mega Family with Discount for CCC Long Distance ($69.95 without) This speed allows you to do all those things listed under the Basic Family plan above at even faster times or allow more than one family member to be on the Internet on different computers at the same time and maintain high speeds.  *Use the higher of the two figures when trying to compare our high-speed to that of our cable competitor. Although CCC’s dial-up connection is approximately 56 kbs, some companies offer dial-up at 28 kbs—a speed that is only half that speed. We believe our cable competitor uses the figure of 28 kbs to figure out how much faster their high-speed connection is versus dial-up.  ►  Which is faster? Although our cable competitor advertises higher speeds, you might want to weigh the importance of getting to a website a fraction of a second faster against having local, personalized help on installation, technical or billing issues and getting reduced pricing on your Internet access when you choose CCC for other telecom services. Whether you get Internet via telephone wire, cable or wireless tower there are differing factors which affect the speeds that you can expect in your particular location. ►  Your speeds: The speeds you can attain are affected by the age and processing power or memory of the computer equipment in your home or office. 24 / 7 TECHNICAL SUPPORT: Just dial 1-800-473-1442 for the 24 hour/7 days a week help desk we provide our customers through BevComm – located right here in southern Minnesota – not in another state or even another country as is the case with some service providers.  We also have a highly-qualified Information Technology professional on staff to help you during regular business hours. Call us at 642-5555 Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (closed from 12 noon to 1 p.m. for lunch). If you get an automated attendant system during these hours, press 1 to access the company directory and then 8 to reach Dave Hotchkiss or leave him a message (leave clear, complete instructions for where and when you can be reached).
