Each Monthly Subscriber is on automatically renewing monthly terms beginning on the first day of the customer billing cycle. The billing cycle is defined as the date when the customer first signed up for service.  ). An Annual Subscriber is on a twelve (12) month term beginning on the day such Subscriber accepts the terms of this Agreement as provided above. Following the initial twelve (12) month Term, an Annual Subscriber will automatically become a Monthly Subscriber. 

15.	TERMINATION BY SUBSCRIBER. Subscriber may terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason by providing Company with a thirty (30) day notice in the form of a phone call or other valid written termination request as determined by the Company, and paying all fees and other charges accrued or otherwise payable under the terms of this Agreement. Such thirty (30) day period begins on the date on which Company receives Subscriber's phone request, or other valid written termination request. A Monthly Subscriber's termination will be effective on either (a) the last day of the current monthly billing cycle, or (b) thirty (30) days after the receipt of the phone or valid written termination request. An Annual DSL Subscriber's termination, if received by Company at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of their twelve (12) month term, will be effective at the end of such twelve (12) month term, unless such Annual Subscriber requests an earlier date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section 11, if Company receives a phone or valid written termination request from a Subscriber, Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement on a date earlier than the date otherwise prescribed by this section 11. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of an Annual DSL Subscriber's twelve (12) month term, such Annual Subscriber must pay, in addition to all fees and other charges accrued or otherwise payable under the terms of this Agreement, an early termination fee in the amount of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) ("Early Termination Fee"). An exception to this are subscribers who have subscribed to Power DSL, these will be subject to a $100.00 Early Termination Fee. EastLink subscribers are subject to a $50.00 Early Termination Fee.  In the event an DSL Annual Subscriber terminates this Agreement prior to the end of their twelve (12) month term because of a service-related problem not caused by the DSL Subscriber that Company has failed to cure after what Company determines in its sole discretion to be a reasonable amount of time based on the circumstances, the DSL Subscriber is entitled to a waiver of the Early Termination Fee. For such waiver to apply the reason for the waiver stated above must have occurred before termination and the DSL Subscriber must report such reason for termination to Company in its valid written termination request. Company must in turn be given the opportunity to resolve the problem and the Subscriber must be willing to troubleshoot with Company as well as be available for and authorize the dispatch of a network Company technician. Company does not monitor Subscriber accounts for activity, and absence of activity or cancellation of a Subscriber's telephone number will never constitute a termination request.

1. Via fax at 801-924-1092

The maximum speed for ADSL is stated under optimal conditions and may vary significantly. Speeds are subject to a 20% overhead (e.g., 768k stated speed = 768k times 80% throughput = 614k actual speed). Minimum speeds are offered for an AT&T Subscriber and are based on the package's listed minimum speed minus 20% overhead (e.g., 384-1500k/128-256k stated speed = 384k times 80% throughput = 307k actual speed.) Actual speeds that fit the 80% of the minimum throughput criteria are considered acceptable. A Verizon, Covad or Qwest Subscriber has no minimum speeds. All Services are provided on an AS IS basis and throughput speeds are not guaranteed.

Most Subscribers experience less than twenty four (24) hours of downtime during this process but overall downtime can be between zero (0) and four (4) business days. You are responsible, and you hold Company harmless, for any and all early termination, cancellation or other fees, charges or obligations resulting from your change of Internet service Company.

Any installation date provided to a Subscriber is only an estimate and is no way a guaranteed installation date.

Payment for your initial month's service (and if applicable: setup fees, installation fees, and equipment) must be received prior to your turn-on date in order for your setup instructions and IP information to be released to you. If your payment is not received by your turn-on date, you will be responsible for the service fees even though your IP and setup information has not been provided to you.
