Your monthly charges will be with IGS KW, your mail will be handled through IGS as well as any additional services related to the Internet that you may require.***

Important Points:
  • Poor internal house wiring, electrical wiring, and other phone line devices may interfere with this service.
  • Phone line filters may be required to reduce noise on telephone equipment. IGS supplies one with the modem, and additional filters can be purchased from $8.00. See our hardware page for current prices.
  • Connection and transfer speeds are NOT guaranteed and vary with phone line quality and distance from the Bell Canada electronics servicing your telephone line. TThe closer you are to the Bell electronics and the better your phone line is, the closer you will get to the maximum numbers.
  • IGS does not accept responsibility for the connection from your house to Bell, however, we will assist you in the event of a problem.
  • Residential service includes the dynamic assignment of one IP and tech support for a single machine, the client assumes full responsibility for their own network should they choose to have one, we do NOT provide tech support or consulting for your internal network. If you wish to consider a network, we suggest a hardware router, several models from various manufacturers are available. Windows 98 2nd edition or later may also be used as a modem sharing device, however configuration and network issues are solely the client's responsibility, IGS does not provide support in this area.
