Our rate is a stand-alone price for the service. Unlike the large carriers we do not <br /> use `teaser rates' which go up after 12 months. Our price is the price, and for residential users <br /> there is typically no contract. Also there are no data caps, no overage charges, and no throttling. <br /> We offer flat rate billing with no surprises. <br /> Our intentions are to provide the rural areas in our state with broadband speeds and prices as <br /> close as possible to the metro areas. It should be noted by the County that some users may be <br /> located in areas where there are technical challenges. Our intention is to offer service to <br /> everyone,but there are likely to be some users that require additional build costs. We prefer not <br /> to charge this upfront to the user, but we may require a term commitment from the user in order <br /> to recoup the additional costs to serve. <br /> Open Broadband offers internet service speeds starting at 25 Mbps and going up to 1000 Mbps <br /> (available on fiber and line-of-sight customers within 2500 ft. of an antenna). Where possible we <br /> offer service in symmetrical mode,where the upload speed equals the download speed. This <br /> applies to all fiber customers and line-of-sight fixed-wireless customers. Service is available to <br /> anyone; resident, business, school, or government agency. <br /> Target Residential monthly pricing for Orange County by speed levels are: <br /> • 25 Mbps x 3 Mbps (In densely wooded areas)—target price range $30-40/mo <br /> • 25 Mbps x 25 Mbps—target price $40-50/mo <br /> • 60 Mbps x 60 Mbps—target price $60-70/mo <br /> • 100 Mbps x 100 Mbps—target price $80-90/mo <br /> • Gigabit(1000 Mbps x 1000 Mbps) Pricing is on an individual case basis depending on <br /> the cost to serve. <br /> Open Broadband is agreeable to develop unique pricing and/or packages for key community <br /> stakeholders and populations (e.g., government, community colleges, universities and K-12 <br /> facilities.
