Access Pricing

Dial Up Service:

VZINet also recognizes people have different access needs.  VZINet therefore, offers two different flavors of Dial Up Access: 

• Unlimited Access plans

• Limited Use plans

Either plan type can be purchased with, or without, technical support. 

VZINET does not load any software on your PC to give you internet access.  Our set up information walks you through changing existing settings on your PC, step by step, based on the Operating System you have.

Limited Use plans are limited to 24 hours per month and are ideal for those people who spend very little time a month on line.  The Limited Use plan is also good for those who have high-speed/broadband access.  The limited Use plan gives you an inexpensive way to stay connected when your high-speed connection goes down.  These plans are offered only on an annual basis of either $69.00 or $99.00, plus a one time $15 set up fee.

Unlimited access plans are just that - unlimited internet access.  Rates start at $12.95 month for No Support or $16.95 month With Support.  Semi-annual and Annual plans are also available. These accounts also have a $15 set up fee.

Please note though, unlimited does not mean 'always on' service.  And remember too, our access is limited to one computer at a time connecting with your username and password.  If you have multiple machines, you will want to ensure that both are not connected simultaneously as that is a violation of our policies and can cause your access account to be locked from the time it is detected until the 1st day of the following calendar month.

Van Zandt Internet is proud to offer nationwide access numbers for its' dial up service.  This benefits you, the subscriber, in several ways.

When you connect from your primary location, on one number, and have other numbers available, one of the 'other' numbers may provide you a better connection, either more stable, or perhaps, even faster.  We've also seen times when one number isn't working, for whatever reason, you can connect to a different number.   With additional numbers, you should be able to dial in to a 2nd or 3rd choice number and secure a connection.  We recommend that you keep your 'local' numbers printed out, just in case you need to try one of the other numbers.

When traveling, you should be able to identify a number local to your destination, or overnight location.  We recommend that you pull these numbers before you leave, since you will need internet access to pull them.  If you have Excel on your laptop, you can download those numbers and retrieve them using Excel.

Technical Support

Your access plan can be purchased with or without Technical Support.  IF you purchase a plan without support and later need Tech Support, that support can be provided at a cost of $1.95/minute, for the duration of the phone call (credit/debit card in advance required). 

What is Technical Support?   

Tech Support is any time you call in with questions and would like additional help or information with your computer settings, connecting, or not connecting, to the internet, and of course, help with your VZINet email address.

Additionally, some questions concerning spam, spyware, some anti virus software activities are typically covered under Technical Support.  Tech Support covers your internet related issues.  We cannot however, provide support to your for your other email addresses, nor support for other types of connectivity, nor network questions under Tech Support for your access account. Should you have issues of this type, or other software issues, please feel free to call us for bench rates for working on your machine.

If you opt for NO support, we are limited to providing you your access name and password, email address(es) and password(s), and dial in numbers.  Please understand this and be mindful of the choice you made when you opted for that plan.  Should you opt for an access account without Tech Support and need support, the call is chargeable at the $1.95/minute.  After the end of the support call, you may then change your account type over to an account with Tech Support.  You will not, however, be allowed to switch back to a No Support Account for 12 calendar months. 

There are occasions when you will need to have your PC worked on, either by VZINET's tech's, or other Tech's of your choosing.  That work is a chargeable service and is NOT covered under this Technical Support.
