Dear GV.NET Wireless Internet Customer:

The following changes to GVNET Wireless Internet pricing starting Jan 1, 2005. Most GVNET Wireless Internet Customers will NOT be affected by this change. The new pricing introduces a new account type, based on high usage. This change will impact only about 5% of GVNET Wireless Customers.

$49 Basic Service Package
          Includes 3GB/mo data transfers, not to exceed 500MB in a single day.
          $0.05/MB for data transfers exceeding 3GB/mo or 500MB/day

$79 Extended Service Package
          Includes 6GB/mo data transfers, not to exceed 500MB/day
          $0.05/MB for data transfers exceeding 6GB/mo or 500MB/day

The 3GB transfer allowance averages out to about 100MB per day. Most users fall into this group. This new pricing policy will help us provide better network performance.

We have made changes to our agreements. Of particular importance are those paragraphs pertaining to infected or compromised computers, disruption of networks, and spamming. Many of the throughput problems on our BigAir network have been as a result of intruder attacks from compromised customer computers on our LWW network. In response, we have changed our rules to require up-to-date virus/intrusion detection software to help prevent their devastating effects on our network. We recommend Comtech systems or Ben Hannebrink for those unfamiliar with installing this type of software. This software has become extremely important for those connected to the Internet. Recently, a GVNET customer had his computer compromised by an Internet intruder. The intruder found enough information in his email to make charges to his credit card, and apply for a new credit card in his name before being discovered.

Please call or email us with any questions or concerns.
