  2. Provisioning Process • Increased demand for higher bandwidths are nation wide.

A request is sent to every available partner in your area.

  3. Quotes • There are many areas in the state that fiber is not available. If fiber is not available: • Bonded T1s • DS3 with equipment to convert to Ethernet • Wireless Options available in some areas • Some partners over Ethernet over Copper (EoC) • Individual Case Basis Rates (ICB) • Many bandwidths are available that are not posted rates • Only true costs are used to calculate the rates to provide the service, no mark up.

  4. Ready To Order OneNet Service Order Agreement (NEW) Purchase Order for Service & Service Establishment Important Notice: OneNet cannot begin to process an order or consider it valid until all of the above documentation has been properly completed, signed and returned to OneNet.

OneNet begins billing the service once the service is operational, regardless of on site customer equipment. OneNet staff will assist you in determining if your current router will support additional bandwidth.

  6. Timeframe for Upgrades • Depending on the partner, a new install for a T1 is typically 30 to 60 days. • Higher bandwidth orders could take 60 days to 6 months. • OneNet will make every attempt to have your services operational within your timeframe. • In this stage, OneNet is at the mercy of the last-mile partner. • Order upgrades as early as possible.

  7. Upgrade Ordered, Now What? • OneNet will contact you with an install date once we are notified by our last-mile partner. • An update will be provided every 2 weeks. • OneNet will be notified when the last-mile partner has completed their end of the install. • OneNet staff will test the circuit with the last-mile partner. • OneNet network staff will contact you to configure your router. • Billing begins now.
