The service, which offers a standard download speed of 56K through the phone line, is targeted to residents of Bibb and Monroe counties, but the service is available to anyone who can call Forsyth without a long-distance charge. The price covers unlimited access, live technical support and one e-mail address.
Most towns offer the dial-up first and then go into the high speed.
We got to thinking we've got the technology here to do a lot more. We could offer dial-up and compete with people in other towns. The service also comes with one e-mail address. We're providing a cheaper service. We can do that because we're a local government and we're nonprofit.
