As our network continues to grow, we want to make it easy for people to give us a try, so we came up with a couple of new specials for people when they sign up for our service. Services are listed here: Pacifica Net Services

Anyone who signs up for Pacifica Net service and BUYS the receiving device, will get a $50 service credit after they register.

Anyone who signs up for Pacifica Net service and RENTS the receiving device, will get a $25 service credit after they register.

To receive the credit email us at billing AT pacificanet DOT COM after your have completed the service application and the credit will be applied to your new account.  If you have questions about the credit you can call our office at 650.359.9500.

As always, there are NO contracts and there is a money-back guarantee.

These deals can not be combined with any other offers.

Thanks!

We recently reached a few milestones that are worth celebrating.

We recently served our 2,000th paying customer and have continued growing.  We also recently served our 1,000th paying Pacifica resident and that number continues to grow as well.

We’re very excited about the number of Pacificans who have  found our network useful.  We have a lot of customers who use us for their residential and/or business ISP and other who just like to use the Hot Spot around  town.  Of course our residential and business customers get to use the Hot Spot at no extra cost.

Thanks to Pacifica for the opportunity to serve you.

We are thrilled to announce TWO great new programs that can save Pacificans a ton of money on Internet service, possibly even getting you service for free.

• SEND A FRIEND

The first is SEND A FRIEND. If you are a Pacifica Net customer and send us a new customer via the link on that page, we will give you a FREE month of service. But wait, every month that your friend is a customer, we will also give you a $1 off your monthly service fees. Send us 10 friends, you get 10 FREE months + $10 off every bill after those 10 months are finished. FREE Internet sounds pretty good. If you are thinking about signing up and know somebody who is already a customer, have them send you an invite and save some money.

• FAIRMONT SUBDIVISIONS IMPROVEMENTS ASSOCIATION DISCOUNT DEAL

This program (click here) is a volume-based discount deal for resident homes that are members of the FSIA. Basically, as more homes sign up, the discount size grows larger and larger. Broadband Internet service for as little as $6.77? It is possible with this deal.

If there are other neighborhood associations like this that are interested in similr deals, please contact Drew Dunlevie at: info AT pacificanet DOT COM.

We’re looking for a few people who have either an iPod Touch or an iPhone to test a few things on our network. If you have one of these devices and want to test a few things and get a FREE roaming account for a while, please contact us –

info AT pacificanet DOT com — Type Apple in the subject line.

==============

Many people in the community have been asking for a basic, low-price broadband Internet service to replace their Dial Up service. They want fast Internet at Dial Up prices and they want it from a friendly, local company they can trust.

So we launched a new service called Dial Up Replacement.

It features download speeds up to five times faster than 56K dial up service and the monthly charge is only $9.95. This price includes the rental of a receiving device that will connect to the Pacifica Net network. And there is NO CONTRACT.

If you are a user who does basic web surfing, email, etc., this is the service for you. Save a few bucks and surf the web with plenty of speed (5X faster than normal dial up).

I have a new daily read in my BlogLines RSS feed grabber.  Pacifica Riptide is written by John Maybury of Wandering and Wondering fame has gone Web 2.0 and it’s a must read for any resident or  business person in Pacifica.

Cheers, John!

If all goes according to plan, later today the public SSID PacificaNet will become a for pay portal. Guests and visitors to town and people who just want to buy a bit of broadband wireless time will be able to do so.

We’ll offer affordably priced increments of time (daily, weekly, etc.).

This roaming service will continue to be FREE to all our residential and business subscribers. So get your Apple iPhones ready!

If you have been using the PacificaNet SSID at home or at work, we urge you to contact us about getting a receiving unit for your location which will make the service faster, more reliable and totally secure.

Like all Hot Spots, the PacificaNet SSID is unencrypted for easy access. This is why we offer receiving units that provide for a totally secure service to residential and business monthly subscribers and offer advice on how to keep your surfing safe when using the portal.

EARLY BIRD SPECIALS ARE OVER.

On Monday we had our official launch event, where we had a Surf Wirelessly and “cut the Ethernet cable” event. Some of our earliest beta testers were there as was Mayor Pro Tem Jim Vreeland.

In celebration of our service launch, we’ll be offering some limited space and limited time Early Bird offers.

First, we have 25 23 13 11 10 9 8 7 5 4 2 0 spots available that offer half-price monthly service for a full year and a discounted receiving unit ($49.95 instead of $79.95). These are first come, first served. Once they are gone, they’re gone. To take advantage of this offer, sign up at our services page (click HERE) and use the promo code: PAC - Be sure to type this promo code USING ALL CAPS = PAC, not pac).

Once those spots are gone, we’ll have a limited time offer where people can sign up and get 6 months of half-price monthly service and a discounted receiving unit ($59.95 instead of $79.95). To take advantage of this offer, sign up at our services page (click HERE) and use the promo code: PNL - Be sure to type this promo code USING ALL CAPS = PNL, not pnl).

With both offers the receiving unit can be rented instead of purchased ($4.95 / month), if that is your preference.

We realize there are still a few patches of Pacifica which are not yet covered. We’re working as fast as we can to get coverage to you. If we haven’t already communicated and you are interested in an Early Bird deal, please email me and I will save you a spot.

We’d like to thank the City of Pacifica, its leaders, our beta testers and all of our current and future customers. We look forward to serving you.

As we are winding down our beta period, we are ending up with a few of the Ruckus receiving units that we used for testing. These units are in great shape and will be used as rental units.

I am anxious to get them back in the field so I’ve decided to offer up a special first come, first served deal.

I have 15 14 13 10 9 5 4 spaces available right now that will save you a lot of money. You will get a year of Ruckus rental and a year of service for one flat up front cost. Read on.
