Usage Warnings: CASUAL plan accounts will be sent a warning by Email when there is approximately 1 hour of pre-paid time remaining. BLOCK accounts will be sent a warning when approximately 2 hours of the current block remains. You may then choose to purchase extra hours online.
If you tend to login for longer periods, we recommend you clear your email before you disconnect just in case a warning has been sent during your time online.
Help Desk: As we are a ministry rather than a business and have only part time voluntary staff, our ability to provide a Help Desk is very limited. We will help when we can but would recommend you do not use our service if you will require significant assistance setting up and using your Internet Access connection.
