Bryant Now Has Wireless Internet Service!
Update 5/14/12: The 125' tall Bryant water tower now has 2 new internet systems on it. One is a line-of-sight system, the other an NLOS system to reach into the trees and around small hills. The Bryant tower sits way up on a hill and has a commanding view of the surrounding area, which will make it very easy for our customers to get superb service! Please call us to schedule an install, or to just ask us any questions you may have.
Thank you for your continued patronage. You make it possible for us to grow our systems and add updates!

Quality Internet At An Affordable Price!
Earlier this year we announced that this would be our year of upgrades, both in speed increases and equipment changes. So far we've accomplished a great deal in both areas! Just look at our City List above - and most of those have multiple systems serving a large number of customers with great speeds at a great price!
Quite a few of our systems are now running at 18 megs with new, super fast radio systems. And our network is expanding, both filling in areas and adding new territory we can serve. This will be our focus for the rest of the year and into next.
And what good is Quality if you can't afford it? That's why OnALot.com has kept our prices low, and has even lowered them - we want more of our neighbors to be able to get high speed broadband internet service! You don't have to pay more to get fast service!
Please give us a call and we'll be happy to tell you all about it!
Eufaula, Stidham, Mellette, Vivian, Onapa and Texanna Have Service!
Update 4/13/12: Our North Eufaula systems are now up and running, offering service to the above areas. There will be a few "blind spots" due to the rolling hills in the area, but we will be filling these in as time goes on. Please click HERE to see our coverage areas.
Introducing: PowerMan!
PowerMan!
|
Every company, ISP, and so on has equipment that can be "confused" by power line surges, lightning strikes, and so on. We're no different, and sometimes a system can go offline and cannot be reached or reset except by driving to the tower to do so. No fun for us, and no fun for you!
PowerMan to the rescue!
PowerMan continually monitors each system for it's health and internet connectivity. Should a system fault or other outage be detected, PowerMan will reset the system within 10 minutes of the outage, bringing it back online automatically! Most customers won't even know there was an outage!
We've already installed a PowerMan system in Depew, Bristow, Wetumka and Okmulgee, and we are about to install them in our other systems. With nearly 100 systems up and running, this will be a major and expensive undertaking, and the improved uptime during stressful conditions will be well worth it!
And as always, there's no cost to our customers! Your continued business allows us to install faster data lines, high speed radios, PowerMan systems and other nifty improvements! Thank You!

New Henryetta Systems!
We are about to launch 2 new systems in Henryetta! One will be a NLOS system located on the new 100' tall EMS tower on 3rd Street, and the other on the 200' tall tower at the intersection of I75 and I40. These new systems will complete our full coverage of the Henryetta area as well as the areas south of Schulter. Please call us for full details.
Buy A Surge Protector Before Lightning Season Sets In!!!!!
As we enter into storm season again, I'm already doing repairs on customer systems with blown up power supplies. Why? Because they either didn't have a surge protector or the one they had was very old and inoperative.
What is a surge protector? It looks like an outlet strip, with 3 - 10 AC outlets on it that you plug your computer, monitor, radio and router into. It has an electronic device inside it that shorts out any high voltage spikes before they can get to your equipment. These spikes arrive at your home via the power lines, and since there are miles or power lines, a lightning hit anywhere on them can be directed right into your home, and zap your equipment.
Surge protectors are rated in Joules (sounds like jewels) and the more joules, the better. A joule is a measure of electrical energy, and you want to shunt to ground as much of the lightning's energy as possible, so, buying a surge protector with a lot of joules is better than one with less.
Many customers already have a surge protector, one that is several years old. Old surge protectors are probably no longer protecting your equipment. Why? The electronic device inside them that shunts lightning energy to ground can only do it once or twice effectively, then it's used up. So essentially all they have is a power strip.
The manufacturers of these surge protectors recommend you replace them every 1 - 2 years, or after a lightning storm has hit you and / or your area. If you want to read up on how a Surge Protector works, Wikipedia has a long and technical artilce found HERE
Please, if you don't have a surge protector, or your's is more than 2 years old, go buy a new one, with as many rated joules as you care to spend. It's money well spent!
Whole House Wireless Router!
Got a big house? Need to get the internet out on the back porch? Tired of the kids screaming because their internet is slow or spotty in their back bedrooms? We have the solution!
Most commercial wireless routers (Netgear, Linksys, Belkin and such) have fairly low powered transmitters, ranging from 37 - 90 milliwatts. We have a very nice unit that runs 1000 milliwatts! That's well over 10X the power of what you can buy locally! Plus it has 4 ethernet ports to run your wired-up devices, like your desktops
We use it in our own home to connect up all our computers, our TV, WII and other devices. It works fantastic! Plus, it's "N" compatible - capable of 54 mbps throughput so it's as fast as anything you can buy.
Price - $90 installed, programmed, and ready to run all your stuff. Just call us to get one.
Update: These are proving to be quite popular, and we've installed quite a few over the last few weeks. They work GREAT!
