*You need "dry" DSL if you don't have a working landline in your home. More details here.

Cable

If your home has ever had cable TV from companies like Rogers or Shaw, you can probably choose one of Toronto Free‑Net's cable packages.

All of our cable packages have the following upfront and overage costs:

Setup fee: $50 except for Cable 30 and Cable 75, which are $70
Modem: modems from free (if you already have one) to $100-$200
Overage costs: $0.25 per gigabyte if you exceed your monthly downstream data cap

DSL

If your home has ever had phone or Internet service from Bell, you can probably choose from any of Free‑Net's DSL services.

All of our DSL packages have the following upfront and overage costs:

Setup fee: $95 except for the 6 Mbps DSL, which is $50
Modem: modems from free (if you already have one) to $25-$150
Overage costs: $0.25 per gigabyte if you exceed your monthly downstream data cap

DSL notes

Modem: Free to $150. You are also welcome to use your existing modem if you already have one. For DSL packages, any model manufactured in the last decade will work. For VDSL, a special Bell-compatible modem is required. The VDSL modems used in the US are incompatible.
Dry DSL: Add $20 to setup fee for a total of $115, plus $10/month. You need dry if you have a phone line running into your home, but aren't paying for regular landline telephone service. A dry line consists of a telephone line that has DSL service but not voice telephone service — it has no phone number and you can neither receive nor make phone calls on it. Dry service is commonly used by people whose telephone needs are met by cell phone or with VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) over their DSL connection.
Static IPv4 address: Add $5.50/month. Use this to run public servers from your home.
Inline DSL filters: Add purchase price ($5 per filter). You are welcome to use your existing filters. Inline filters are needed for wet DSL, when your home's wiring has no central filter. Some DSL connections include installation of a central filter. Generally, you need one inline filter per telephone, fax, TDD, and answering machine. No filters are needed for dry DSL.

The residential DSL or cable setup fee is charged when you order a new DSL connection. The setup fee also applies if you switch service.

Term lengths and discounts:

The first and last month are due in advance, just like rent for an apartment.

Payment methods:

Pre-authorized debit: Monthly payments are debited automatically, directly from your bank account. This method minimizes volunteer effort and overhead expenses, thus maximizing the resources that the freenet brings to the community. You can cancel a pre-authorized debit at any time -- you are not locked in. If, for a particular month, you know that your bank account won't have enough money to cover the payment, please phone the office, at least 2 days before the transaction is due to go through, and we will prevent that transaction from reaching your bank. You can then make that payment by some other method.

Cheque & money order: Send cheques and money orders by postal mail or drop them off at the office. Please make cheques out to "Toronto Free‑Net Inc."

INTERAC e-Transfer: Send payments to "pay@torfree.net".
