Even though SMTA prides itself in providing the best, state
of the art telecommunications services provided with the most modern
up-to-date facilities, there are some limits to delivery of DSL to the end
user. Therefore some services may not be available to all subscribers at
this time. If any construction is necessary, the estimated cost must be paid
in advance by the end user. I am doing this to keep a promise that the
telephone customers would not bear the burden of supplying DSL Internet
service.
This price list is effective June 1, 2002.
These packages are modeled after residential “personal” use
providers, through many businesses are quite asymmetric
bandwidth. You are not allowed under any circumstance to share
your account with any user outside your own home, apartment, or
place of business. Please note that this is your gateway to the
internet and no services (web servers, ftp servers, file
sharing, etc.) are allowed.
Broadband Internet is available to all Sherwood
Telephone customers and earn capital credits.

Even though businesses are required to pay sales tax on
Internet access, private use is nontaxable.
SMTA will no longer be providing free technical support after
installation. We will make every effort to get your DSL operational on your
computer equipment, but I must emphasize that our responsibility ends at the
network interface on the outside of your house. This doesn't mean we won't
help you, but if you upgrade operating systems or add some other program and
DSL quits working we will charge the going rate for computer service.
