Installation Rates

Residential and Business: $25

Chesnee Communications’ installation is to the demarcation point at your location. All High-Speed accounts include termination to ONE computer only and an Ethernet cable. Peachem DSL customers also will receive up to three filters.  Installation does not include inside wiring. An Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) is required for High-Speed service, and the customer is responsible for installing and configuring the NIC — Chesnee will not install the NIC in the customer’s computer.

NOTE: Chesnee Communications is not responsible for service issues related to a customer’s computer, network, or software.

Optional DSL/Inside Wire Maintenance Plan

Chesnee Communications offers a High-Speed/Inside Wire Maintenance Plan for $5.95 per month (business and residential), that covers labor costs for a technician to visit a customer’s location in response to a request to identify trouble, including the High-Speed connection and inside wiring. If the problem is found to be the customer-owned equipment, no labor charges will be incurred to isolate the problem. Inside wiring that was properly installed (per NEC) will be replaced at no charge.

Some Things to Remember about Peachem DSL

DSL technology is distance-sensitive. DSL become less consistent as customers approach the limit of 18,000 feet from the remote office that serves your home or business. Chesnee provides all Peachem DSL customers up to the requested amount of bandwidth within our network, but we remind you that actual transmission speeds may vary.

DSL’s high-speed data transmission may cause noise on your telephone. You may need a filter on your phone to prevent noise that may come through the wire and interfere with your calls. Chesnee provides up to three filters with your Peachem DSL service, but you may need to purchase additional filters if you have more than three phones.
