Wireless networking and publicly shared wireless networks present exciting new opportunities to share information and connectivity resources with one another - we encourage you to explore it!

Speakeasy believes that shared wireless networks are in keeping with our core values of disseminating knowledge, access to information and fostering community, provided this usage does not have an adverse impact on the services of other customers, does not involve any illegal activity and is not otherwise in violation of any aspect of our existing Terms Of Service. Please remember that the Speakeasy account-holder is responsible for all activity originating from their DSL line, even if it is the result of other users on a shared wireless connection.

Free static IPs are not associated with the NetShare service. Should a NetShare Admin require additional static IPs, they must be subscribed to a "Plus" service package and may request a NetShare static IP for an additional monthly fee. NetShare static IPs are limited to one per NetShare Customer package on the Admin's account.

NetShare Admins are responsible for maintaining the core Wi-Fi network and providing support related to their NetShare Customer's wireless connectivity. Speakeasy will work with NetShare Admins to resolve any issues related to their broadband circuit's connectivity, but will forward any wireless-related NetShare Customer support queries to the NetShare Admin Support Contact on file. Upon notification of a basic access issue, NetShare Admins will respond in a timely manner and diligently work with the NetShare Customer to resolve as soon as is feasible.

Speakeasy will provide all support related to email, news, dialup and add-on services, as well as any billing-related issues requiring resolution. Speakeasy will continue to provide all basic service and billing support for the NetShare Admin's packages and services.

Upon NetShare Customer signup, Admins are responsible for providing any setup assistance and verifying the connectivity between their Wireless Access Point (WAP) and the NetShare Customer's PC. NetShare Customers will have immediate access to all services, but will not be able to utilize any of the account management tools until the Admin has activated the account billing within MySpeakeasy.

Admins must activate their Customers' account billing in MySpeakeasy within 14 days of initial Customer signup. In the event that the Customer account package is not activated in our system within this time, Speakeasy reserves the right to either activate or cancel the Customer package.

Speakeasy reserves the right to cancel your NetShare Admin package if no Customers are signed up within 90-days of initiating the NetShare Admin service.

$20 to $50 per month:$5 increments
$60 to $100 per month:$10 increments

NetShare Admins may modify Customer pricing at any time. Modifications will apply to all new NetShare Customers that sign up after the price change is in effect. Should the Admin wish to increase the pricing for their existing Customers, it will be necessary for the existing customers to cancel and re-subscribe to the NetShare Customer service.

Speakeasy will apply a service credit to the Admin's account equal to 50% of the NetShare Customer monthly recurring package fees, before tax, for each active NetShare Customer. This credit will appear on the Admin's account on their first billing date after the NetShare Customer fee has been collected and only if the Customer's account is current at that time. "Current" is defined as no overdue balances on any NetShare Customer package fee or any other Speakeasy-related service fees. Should an overdue balance exist, all credits will be withheld until payment is received from the NetShare Customer in full, at which point a credit will be applied on the next billing date.

Speakeasy will retain 100% of the fees relating to any additional services sold to subscribers.

Speakeasy reserves the right to modify its prices and revenue share structure at any time. Such changes will be communicated at least 30 days in advance of the effective date of change.

Speakeasy's standard account disconnection policies (as outlined in our Terms of Service) will apply to NetShare Customers. Customers that have requested disconnection will be queued based on their current service period's end date and marked as such in the NetShare Admin's management information within MySpeakeasy. Disconnection can be initiated by the Admin within MySpeakeasy or by the Customer contacting Speakeasy directly.
