- The monthly fee is $59.95, plus tax. We will bring the service into the home and if the subscriber wishes, a router can be used to create a “whole house” wireless environment that will enable any device in the home to access the Internet. The monthly fee also covers the subscriber’s lease of the equipment. There is a one-time
installation fee of $99.00

- Payment is month-to-month. There are no long-term contract obligations. If a subscriber decides
to drop the service, there are no hidden or additional costs. If a subscriber does not wish to use the
service in any given month, no payment is required. A subscriber can re-activate the service at any
time without penalty.

- Subscribers will not have to deal in any way with a phone company, cable company or satellite Internet
service provider. Liza and Cid Scallet, who own The Batesville Store, own Batesville Broadband as
well. There are no silent partners or private investors. Cid will be managing the project. All of our
technicians, installers, and tech support specialists have local ties.

- Subscribers with service problems will not be routed through an auto-menu or have their calls
answered by someone overseas. Tech support will be handled locally.
