If you need more help tha that in order to get your new ISDN installation up and running, we will set up a consultation with you.

6 Months$210.00$35.00 [$33.02 + tax]
One Year$400.00$33.33 [$31.45 + tax]
All ISDN accounts include 60 hours of B-channel use per month. This can be single (64K) channel for 60 hours, or double/bonded (128K) channels for 30 hours, or any combination thereof. Use above 60 hours is billed at the rate of $1.00 per B-Channel-Hour.

Note: ISDN includes an unlimited interactive standard modem account at no extra cost. If you use up your ISDN time and do not want to add any hourly charges to your cost you may use the standard (non-ISDN) account for the rest of each month that the ISDN account is valid.

 
    Note: All "monthly equivalent" amounts are only to help you compare the various accounts.
    NetK2NE does not sell month-to-month accounts. Monthly equivalent amounts are based on
    the assumption that the account runs full-term. Please see our Usage Policy for more information.

    The normal monthly rate for a personal analog dialup accounts is $25.00/month.
    The normal monthly rate for a personal ISDN account is $40.00/month.

Personal SLIP/PPP accounts do not have a setup fee, are on an un-metered basis with no hourly fees, but no more than 15 minutes continuous "idle time" is permitted while connected.

Personal SLIP/PPP un-metered accounts are for interactive use. The use of email-checkers, ping-daemons, or any other software or procedure the sole reason for which is to keep a connection alive in the absence of actual live interactive use of the connection is a violation of our usage policy and will result in the automatic upgrade of the customer account to dedicated SLIP/PPP status.

Personal SLIP/PPP accounts are assigned "dynamic" IP addresses depending on which modem port is reached on each call to our facilities. For this reason it is not practical, nor is it permissable for a user to run server software while connected using a Personal SLIP/PPP account.

Modem Pool ("RAS") Hosting for ISPs

We will allow you to place a digital remote access server (RAS) machine in our network facility, and "pull" a PRI/ISDN connection to it. We will connect your RAS machine to our local network at wire-speed. We will assign a block of 23 to 48 IP addresses for use by your dial-up customers, and we will allow you to pull data to your "RADIUS/TACACS/authentication" machine located at your facility.

We will do this for you and charge you only $1,000.00 per month (for a single PRI to your box) or $1,750 per month (for two PRIs to the same box)! Additionally, we will allow you to have physical access to our facility on a "24/7" basis, or will provide on-site "remote hands" service at no extra charge.

A setup fee of $1,500.00 payable at inception is required. For more information please feel free to call the office.

Note: RAS hardware can be rented to you on an "as available" basis if you do not already own a suitable hardware solution. Should you decide to rent your RAS hardware from us, rates start at $300.00 per month (for a single PRI) or $450.00 per month (for dual-PRI machines). Please contact the office for more details.

Dedicated SLIP/PPP Accounts

Startup fee for Dedicated SLIP/PPP:$400.00 (28.8 or 33.6 kbps)
This includes installation of your own private phoneline with unlisted number, assignment of a fixed IP address, and your own modem. The modem remains your property should you decide to terminate your service with your account in good standing.

Facility Allocation fee: $480.00 (56K Analog)
This one-time fee is for your continuous use of one of our 56K digital ports. This fee does not apply and will not be charged unless you are assigned to use one of our digitial dial-up facilities. If this fee applies to your situation then you will not be charged the "Startup Fee" described in the previous paragraph.

About Domain Registration...
We regret that with the new InterNIC policy of charging for domain names, we can no longer include this as a free service. We will handle the registration process for you at absolutely no cost to you, but the fee for registering your domain-name must be paid, by you, directly to Network Solutions Inc. (the InterNIC). Their current fee is $100.00 to register, which includes the first two years, then $50.00 per year thereafter.

The Alternative...
If you can live with a machine name like yourmachine.k2nesoft.com or yourmachine.netk2ne.net for your dedicated SLIP/PPP connection, then we can save you the hassle and the expense of domain registration and put your machine right onto our existing network! Call for details.

A one-year minimum commitment is required (in most cases) to open a Dedicated SLIP/PPP account. Discounts are available for multi-year contracts, multiple connections, or IRS-recognized non-profit educational institutions.

Leased-Line Services

We also offer a full range of leased-line connectivity options starting at 56k all the way to a full T1 connection. The exact cost of this service depends heavily on the nature of your LAN, anticipated load, and the distance between your location and our Network Operation Center.

Our Network Solutions Team stands ready to assist you in determining the ideal setup for your LAN/Internet connection. Please feel free to call us to arrange an on-site visit to your location for a connectivity analysis.

Do you plan on re-selling access to the Internet?
No problem - let us help! Contact our office for full information about our Internet Service Provider program and let us get you set up. No sense in fibbing here - there's a lot involved - but we've done it and so can you!

Corporate Web Site Services

The World Wide Web has rapidly become the advertising medium of the decade. NetK2NE can put your company "on the Web" at a fraction of the cost you would encounter by doing it on your own. Call our office today for full information on how you can put the World Wide Web to work making money for your company!

[Back to the Index]


Machine Co-Location at T1 Speed

You can put your computer/server on our ethernet LAN and take advantage of accessing the internet at T1 speeds without having the expense of the telephone company "local loop" fee every month! That way, you can have your commercial web server, your FTP site, or any other server application under your direct control and avoid the hassles of "leased lines".

You save:

Hardware Costs: no router or leased-line modem (CSU/DSU) is
required since your machine will be at our Network Operation Center
instead of at your site. Your access to your machine is via a standard
NetK2NE dial-up SLIP or PPP account or by telnet or ftp from
any ISP anywhere in the world.

Telco Costs: since your machine is at our site, you do not
need a leased line to get to the internet at T1 speed. What
we do is connect your machine to a 10-base-T ethernet which is, in
turn, connected to one of our T1 routers for interconnection to the
internet. You get all the advantage of having your applications
"on the net at T1 speed" at a fraction of the cost!

What We Charge:

Installation Fee

A one-time fee of $400.00 is charged in order to place your machine
at our location, properly handle domain name service and routing, and
to cover the cost of any additional network engineering needed to ensure
that your machine is on the internet. Please note that this fee does not
include
the cost of registering your domain with the InterNIC.

Site Colocation Fee

A site colocation fee of $300.00 per month is charged to keep your machine
on our LAN and to maintain its connection to the internet at T1 speed. You
may prepay for a year for $3,000.00 (our pay for 10 months and get 12 policy).

A minimum contract commitment term of one year applies to all machine colocation arrangements.

Also, power continuity (UPS) and power-line conditioning (surge protection) are the
responsibility of the customer and may be required by our engineering staff
at the time your machine is installed on our network.

Re-Sale Considerations

You may resell space and access on your co-located machine within the confines
of the IP address you are assigned. If you need additional IP addresses
(for example: you want to run a virtual web-site for a customer of yours
on your machine here at our site), you will have to acquire additional
address space from us. Please call our office for more information if
this is one of your needs.

Domain Name Registration and Name Service

If you are a leased line, dedicated dial-up, or commercial web customer of ours, we will register your domain(s) for you at absolutely no charge until you are actually online and able to handle your own domain name registration(s). We will perform domain name service for your principal domain at absolutely no charge until you request us to stop once you are able to assume this task on your own equipment. You will be billed by the InterNIC for any registry fees which they impose for their services (currently $100.00 for the first two years, then $50.00 per year thereafter). This is not our fee and we do not pay this for you.

We will gladly provide domain name services to anyone else in accordance with the following fee schedule:

Location of the NetK2NE Dial-In Modems

In an effort to extend the Internet to as many residents of Southern New Jersey as practical, we at NetK2NE have placed "modem pools" in strategic locations throughout the more densely populated areas of Burlington and Camden Counties.

We have "dial-in" modem pools available in the following locations:

Please consult your local telephone directory to see which of these locations might be a local call for you.

For your added convenience, you may view a map of our local-calling coverage area in the 609 Area Code.

This list is current as of March 31, 1996. We will update this list as we bring new modem locations online. We remain fully committed to the goal of providing affordable and reliable internet access across Southern New Jersey! Please feel free to call our office for more information.

Full T1 PPP Varies$625.00 Varies$1,250.00
About Your
Classification
Determining whether your site and/or application represents a personal or a
commercial site-presence depends on a number of factors which are evaluated
by our network engineering staff. Call our office for full information.
About Our
Setup Fees
Our setup fee, in all cases, is quoted to include the appropriate router and
CSU/DSU for your site, and sufficient consultation to establish the connection.
If you already own networking hardware which meets the needs for your site
and the specifications for our network, we will "back out" the cost of those
items that we do not have to provide. Please refer to our detail page
for more information.
Other
Monthly
Costs
Our Monthly Fees do not include what you will have to pay to your local
telephone company. This service, which is commonly known as the local-loop
charge, is regulated by tariff and charged to you directly by your telephone
company. While we are glad to place your leased-line order for you,
the bill will be in your name and you will then deal with the telephone
company directly on this issue.
Discounts
and
Commissions
We offer generous discounts on the monthly fee portion of your leased line
connection through NetK2NE for prepaying on an annual or semi-annual basis.
We also offer a discount plan for multiple leased-line purchases, as well
as a commission plan for referring leased line business to us. Please feel
free to contact our office for more information on these issues!
Term
Commitment
All leased-line circuits require a minimum contract term commitment of 1 year.
Discounts on the monthly routing fee are available for multi-year commitments.
Please contact our office for further details on this issue.
Month
to
Month
Month-to-month pricing for all digital leased-line connections is at the
rate of 2.5 times the Commercial/Resellable One Year Term monthly price.
For example, a 56 Kilobit PPP connection, on a month-to-month basis,
will cost $1,250.00 per month. A full T-1 PPP connection, on a month-to-month
basis will cost $3,125.00 per month. Term commitments allow us to efficiently plan
and support our network. Anything which decreases this capability dramatically
increases our cost which, regrettably, must be passed on to the customer.

The NetK2NE Internet Partners Program

It is our belief that the Internet should be accessible to as many people as possible, at a rate as affordable as possible. With this goal in mind, we have established what we call the NetK2NE Internet Partners Program.

The problem: Southern New Jersey, for historical reasons, has been segmented by the phone company in such a way that most communities are very limited in their "local calling areas." Unlike other states, where entire area-codes are often one large "local calling area" we do not have that luxury. For an internet service provider, this presents a huge obstacle when trying to offer internet access to the largest number of people at the lowest possible cost.

Our solution: We are willing to offer a profit-sharing opportunity to any individual or business that is willing to "host" one of our modem-pools (known in the trade as a "point of presence", or POP). If you are located in a part of Area Code 609 that we do not presently cover, and if this sort of opportunity interests you, then please... let us know!
