Plan Coverage

• The Plan provides coverage from the demarcation point, about 12 inches outside of home, to wiring that is inside of dwelling
   
• Customer must retain the plan for 6 months from date of the tech visit to prevent tech visit fees
   
• Closely follow troubleshooting steps to avoid rolling a truck for issues unrelated to our service or for customer equipment:
   
  • i.e. phones, TV's, faxes, relay devices, non-Company supplied equipment/boxes, DVD players, splitters, AB switches, RF modulators, customer modems/routers, etc.
     
  • If tech determines an issue with customer equipment, we typically do not charge the customer
     
    • However, we do not correct issues with customer equipment
       
• Charges are automatically applied based upon how the technician closes the work order
