Happy November everyone! I’m just now getting over my sugar coma from Halloween and ready for a HUGE month ahead. TOAST.net is releasing so many awesome new products and updates that I’m not sure where to start. Upgrades to email, new ways to build websites, and a cool new way to access the Internet are just a few things we plan on introducing. Check it out:
This announcement is causing the most excitement here at the TOAST.net offices. 3G MiFi service is just about ready to go, and testing has gone very well. For those not-in-the-know, 3G MiFi is a wireless Internet connection that gives you access nearly anywhere from a device the size of a credit card. You turn the device on, it makes a wireless connection with up to 5 laptops, tablets, smartphones, or or any other WiFi enabled device. The service itself will be relatively inexpensive, there’s no cables or wires to connect to your computer, and no software to install: just press a button and it works! Look for an official release announcement in the next week or so.

TOAST.net is excited to offer 4 new Business Broadband plans
TOAST.net is excited to announce 3 new Business Fiber Plans
TOAST.net has added two new residential Fiber Internet plans!
This coming Monday, Aug. 17th, we will be switching to universal pricing -- one price for all DSL speeds (around $65) and one price for Fiber (around $90). So if anyone is thinking they could use one of our basic service plans, now's the time to order. For example: DSL - 12 Mbps for $43.95/month - Great for seniors on a fixed income. Plenty of speed for surfing the web, checking email, and streaming for 1 or 2 TVs. Fiber - 60 Mbps for $45.00/month - Awesome solution for just about any household. Note that fiber is a new technology and only about 20% of the country can get it. Check your address to see what service you qualify for and order by Sunday, 8/16/20! This is your last chance to lock in the speed and price of a great DSL or Fiber plan before they are grandfathered!
