DéconnectéWhy should I have ISF install a hotspot?
By offering an ISF hotspot to your customers/clients, you are increasing the value of your venue to your existing customers, and at the same time attracting new customers. (We provide promotional material for you to designate you visually as an ISF participant).
By becoming an ISF participant, you distinguish your business from your competitors down the street. It shows that you understand the evolving needs of a clientèle that is active, mobile and up-to-date with the latest in affordable technology. You show them that you are in tune with their needs. You benefit from ISF’s programme of publicizing your participation (press articles, window stickers, Google Map, etc.) Not to forget the power of the word-of-mouth from our 75,000+ satisfied users!
We also create for you a personalized Web presence - a so-called “Portal Page” that every visitor to your ISF Hotspot must view prior to getting online at your venue. This page can be used to promote your products or services to the users, or simply provide location-based information, Web links, etc.
More and more, our thousands of ISF users are seeking out places like yours, where they can get online in familiar territory on the ISF network.
More and more folks all over the world today count on an internet connection to work away from the office (or the home office) and to stay in touch with their family and friends. You can take part in this Montréal-wide and worldwide Community Wireless Internet movement!
What services does ISF offer?
We take care of installing and setting up the wireless extension of your existing internet connection (Bell Internet, Vidéotron, etc., are your wired Internet Service Providers) - free of charge. After that, if anything goes awry, we fix it - for free.
So, you don’t have to be bothered with the technical details of the hotspot setup, maintenance and troubleshooting.
But there must be a price for all this?
Right - there is no free lunch. You have to pay for your High Speed internet service - but you probably pay that already as part of the cost of doing business today. On top of that, you need a special wireless router that is equipped with our WiFiDog access and security software - that we sell to you for $100. On top of that, we ask you for a contribution of $5.00 per month to keep our network going.
Won’t a Hotspot slow down my internet connection?
Sharing your connection with your customers doesn’t usually entail additional cost. Since your commercial internet account provides you “unlimited bandwidth”, you won’t notice the effect of sharing on your connection speed.
