The following is not intended to slander Ziplink Internet.
This is just how I MYSELF was treated.
I decided to start my own ISP service and chose
Ziplink Internet to host my lines.  After talking with the
sales person he told me that there would be a $500
setup fee split into 5 payments and that the service
would cost $8.00 per user plus $1.50 per user for
radius, 5 email accounts, web space, and news access.
I could cancel after 90 days in which after there would be a $250 minimum.
This would be after the 90 days as sort
of a ramp up to find customers.    To make a long story
short, I had problems with the setup for 3 weeks, was charged the $500 in
one bill, got only 1 email account per user with no web space and was
charged the $250
minimum from the start.  The wording on my contract
locked me into it but I got out before the 90 days still stuck with a $700+
bill for 3 months.   Even shorter, I now use a provider that charges no
setup and no minimum for just $1.00 more per user.   I will not go back to
them.
As for you, make your own decisions.
