* All of the above is subject to change without notice - this is our best information on 3/26/11.

** C-ADSL uses a DSLAM pre-installed at the building, so there is little or no wait for installation, and no installation fee.  If a tenant does not have his own ADSL modem, we can lend him one for a refundable $50.00 (Ethernet only) or $60.00 (Ethernet and wireless router) deposit.  The prices are:

  Monthly Quarterly Yearly
768K/128K $14.95 $42.00 $149.00
1600K/400K $19.95 $59.00 $229.00
3200K/800K $29.95 $87.00 $334.00
Each static IP address $5.00 $15.00 $60.00

No servers allowed, and we periodically monitor for servers and Internet worms.  Because this allows us to keep the lines clean, everyone gets a good, fast connection to the Internet.  Email is included - virus checked and optionally spam-filtered. 

Most other buildings, contact Cactus at 208 883 5500 or 800 310 5554.

Landlords, please contact us for prices and options.
