  Douglas County Residential Fiber-Optics Services

LocalTel & NWInternet are offering 2 NEW Telephone & Fiber Internet Packages. These packages will be available to most (not all) customers who have access to Douglas County PUD Fiber Optics.

Residential Customers can use both your Phone and Fiber-Optic Internet at the same time without interference. Your internet Speed, once on Douglas County Fiber, will dramatically increase up to 100Mbps. Douglas Fiber is up to 1000 times faster than dial-up, up to 100 times faster than DSL and up to 33 times faster than Cable Internet. Many of you have a second phone line just for your dial-up internet, with fiber that will no longer be necessary! (unless you have teenagers still living at home)
Residential Phone & Fiber Internet** Service
Note: The Bartlett & Bartlett Lite Package will only be available in areas served by Douglas County PUD Fiber that supports phone service. Call for details 888-8888

**Monthly Data Transfer Policy
All Broadband Internet Packages include a Monthly Data Transfer threshold. The threshold is the allowed amount of data that can be transferred to or from the internet to your computer or network in one month at no additional cost. LocalTel measures the transfer amount in Gigabytes.
Definition: Monthly Data Transfer
A data transfer rate (or often just data rate) is the amount of digital data that is moved from one web address to another in a given time. In general, the greater the bandwidth of a given path, the higher the data transfer rate.

Although LocalTel & NWInternet does not limit the amount of data that can be transferred we do set a Gigabyte threshold for each broadband account and bill for excess data transferred above that Gigabyte threshold.

LocalTel & NWInternet
measure the data transferred in Gigabyte monthly for each individual IP address per broadband internet account; then combines them to determine the total amount of Gigabyte used on that single account. The individual IP & total combined account Gigabyte Data Transfer amount/s will be reported on your bill the following month.

Note: All Internet accounts come with 1 IP Address. Additional IP Addresses can be purchased. However, additional IP addresses do not increase the Monthly Data Transfer Threshold on an individual internet account.

If you exceeded your total allowed threshold, your bill will also reflect a $1.00 per excess Gigabyte charge. If you buy a FatPack, the threshold amount will be increased and the excess rate will be reduced as listed in the FatPack's below.

Example: If Customer's
Monthly Data Transfer Threshold is 25 Gigabytes and the customer uses 30 Gigabytes in one month, he will be billed an additional $5.00 for the 5 Gigabytes of excess threshold usage (25GB X $1.00 = $5.00)

Exception: Customers who use multiple services from LocalTel & NWInternet will be allowed to use
1 Additional Gigabyte* of Monthly Data Transfer per month for each $10.00 billed or the package threshold amounts, whichever is greater.

Exception Example:
Customer's Pre-Tax Bill Totals $500.00, the allowed
Monthly Data Transfer threshold will be 50 Gigabyte ($500 ÷ $10 X 1Gigabyte = 50GB* threshold)
 
Will this policy affect you?  Probably not:  This policy will only affect you if you are an extremely heavy Internet user, virus infected, run a server(s), file share, download lots of movies, music, pictures or streaming audio and/or video.  If you use the internet in this way, to save money, you may want to buy a FatPack listed below.

If you do not use the Internet for these purposes this policy will likely not affect you.  For casual Internet surfing you would have to view 400,000 web pages every day or transfer 10,000,000 average sized e-mails every day for the whole month to exceed 10 Gigabytes of Monthly Data Transfer.
Note: 98% of all LocalTel & Northwest Internet Broadband Customers use less than 10 Gigabytes of Monthly Data Transfer.
Additional Packs of Monthly Data Transfer
If  you know your Monthly Data Transfer will consistently be more than your threshold and you want to save money, buy one of the FatPack's listed below.
     
FatPack 10 Additional 10 Gigabytes of Monthly Data Transfer $5.95
  FatPack 10 will add 10 Gigabytes of Monthly Data Transfer to your established Gigabyte threshold.     Example (25GB+10GB= 35GB) Monthly
