What makes Celestial Enterprises different from the other ISPs?
Celestial Enterprises is different in a couple of major ways:-
- Access Time Restrictions
Celestial Enterprises has opted to restrict the amount of time you are able to access the Internet on a daily basis. This restriction scheme enables Celestial Enterprises to offer you with a fixed single low cost yearly account fee with no more to pay. Whether it be for personal or business use.
Where as the majority of other ISPs, offer unlimited access, but at a price. They charge you on a per minute basis, and sometimes in additional monthly fees. Plus on a number of ISPs, they also impose a charge on how much information (data) flows through to your home PC on a per MByte basis.
Now, you have to agree that the fees other ISPs offer can add up, and quiet easily leave you out of pocket, and just for a casual surf around the Net.
- No Per Minute Charging
- What this simply means is that, no matter how much time (within your subscribed account access time limits) you spend accessing the Internet via Celestial Enterprises, you are simply not being charged any extra for that time. This can be especially re-assuring for those parents who want to provide an account for their siblings and not have to worry about the additional charges that are imposed by other ISPs.
- No Per MByte Charging
- What this simply means is that you can download and access as much information (web surfing, etc) or data (downloading files, etc) as the Internet can offer you (within your subscribed account access time limits) without having to worry about the additional costs of per MByte charging.
