Who Is The Basic Plan For?
Retirees or Families with Existing TV Service
The speed and capacity of this plan is more than sufficient for everyday internet tasks like surfing the web, checking email, scrolling social media and the occasional video call with family members.
The capacity could become a challenge for anyone trying to work from home and frequently on video calls, or for a family where streaming video like Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime etc is frequently used.
If you have teenagers, a “gamer”, or a Netflix addiction, we suggest you have a look at our Enhanced plan.
Not sure? Since our government grants require us to guarantee the availability and price of this plan for 5 years its a no brainer to start here and upgrade later.
Download – 50 Mbps
The CRTC minimum – about 10x faster than what you could get over a phone line.
This is more than enough to stream video on multiple devices at the same time and not see any buffering. If you’re thinking of upgrading to 4K however we recommend the Unlimited plan.
Downloading updates for your computer or gaming console? Your internet won’t be the bottleneck anymore.
Upload – 10 Mbps
The CRTC minimum – about 10x faster than what you could get over a phone line.
Upload speeds impact video calls like Teams/Zoom/Facetime the most. If you’re moving from a DSL (phone line) connection you should notice a dramatic improvement. At this speed you can have several family members on video calls all at the same time.
If you have a home security system that uploads video to a cloud service then you’ll probably want a plan with higher upload speeds and definitely unlimited capacity.
Traffic Limit – 100 GB each month1
For reference 1 hour of a video streaming service like Netflix is as much as 3 GB in HD. If you are using a 4K TV & Service then its about 7 GB per hour.
A home worker/student can expect their video calls to use about 0.4 GB per hour (1 GB per 2.5 hours) depending on how many participants are on camera.
If you go over this we will automatically add 25 GB more for $5.00 to that billing period. Unused Traffic Capacity does not carry over to future months.
Fiber Wifi Modem Rental – $10.00 / month2
After 36 months, provided the unit is working properly you won’t be charged the monthly fee anymore. Wish to pay the entire $360.00 up front? No problem. The modems remain the properly of 307NET for warranty purposes.
These modems are designed to be connected directly to the fiber optic cable from outside, so they cannot be replaced with an after-market modem however you can connect additional wifi routers to this modem with ethernet cords (not provided). Our installers will work with you to get you the best coverage across your home.
Installation – $300.00 one time
$300 one time fee for the technician who comes into your home to set up your wifi router. Yes – we will send an actual human to do the technical work and explain everything.
The wires from the street to the box on the outside of your house are all provided at no charge to you thanks to our government grants. Some limitations apply to driveways longer than 150 feet.
Price – $80.00 / month
This rate is guaranteed by contract with the government grants to not be increased for at least 5 years!
1 Usage capacity refers to traffic downloaded in gigabytes (GB). Clients are always responsible to monitor usage and govern their usage accordingly. A month is considered equivalent to one billing period. Should usage exceed the capacity, 307net will automatically add 25GB of capacity at a charge of $5.00 to that billing period. Capacity does not carry over to future billing periods and is non-refundable.
2 Modem Rental is charged at $10.00 per month or a one time charge of $360.00 plus applicable taxes. If choosing to pay monthly, after 36 months provided the modem is functioning correctly the monthly fee will no longer be charged. Modems remain the property of 307net in all circumstances for warranty purposes.
3 For plans offering unlimited traffic usage remains subject to a fair usage policy. Should download usage within a billing period exceed 5 terabytes (TB) 307net will automatically restrict transfer speeds to that of the Basic plan.
