=== Can you wave off $100 early cancellation charge? ===
 
  
  
No; Exetel cannot wave off the early cancellation fee.
 
  
ADSL connection is given on the actual unique copper line from the premises to the local exchange. It is not based on a telephone number solely.
+
===What will happen if I cancel my eXeTeL ADSL Service?===
 
 
Exetel is charged by our wholesale DSL supplier to connect a service and they impose onto us a six months minimum term. If any event causes the DSL service to be removed, Exetel will be charged a cancellation fee without discriminating them.
 
 
 
The reason why we cannot waive the $100 cancellation fee is due to that being commercially inappropriate, also it would mean we would be running the business at a loss and we are not prepared to do that.
 
 
 
 
 
=== I upgraded my ADSL 1 plan to ADSL 2 and have been charged twice during this month. Can you credit my account back? ===
 
 
 
 
 
The applicable refund will be applied to your next month’s invoice automatically.
 
 
 
 
 
==Relocation==
 
 
 
 
 
===Why am I being charged with an early cancellation fee after the relocation?===
 
 
 
When it comes to relocation, technically it is an existing service termination & activating a new service at another location as defined by our wholesalers. When eXeTeL signs you up with a plan in return the wholesaler assigns a specific time frame which is a contract period while fees/levies associated with these are compulsory and beyond the control of the ISP. Therefore even though you will continue to use eXeTeL services at another location, regret to inform that we are unable to waive off these compulsory charges implemented by our wholesalers.

Your ADSL account will be cancelled on the day you have assigned. If you cancel your service within the initial contract period you will incur a cancellation fee of $100.00 and if the cancelation has been done after the initial service period expiration, there is no penalty or charge. ADSL services are billed one month in advance and no refund/rebate of that monthly charge is made for any days not used. So you can move away from eXeTeL at the end of a billing period.

ADSL > ADSL - Billing


Contents

Invoices

How can I change the invoice address of my ADSL service?

You can not change the invoice address of your ADSL service because it is the physical address where the ADSL service is connected.


Shaping Option

Does Exetel offer a shaping option for excess usage of ADSL services?

Shaping option for ADSL services depends on your plan and you can find it from your members facility or from Exetel web site.


ADSL Service Activation

Is there an activation fee for ADSL services?

Yes, there is an activation fee for ADSL services and it may vary depending on the supplier and the plan. You can find the relevant activation fee for your service in the order form .

What do I have to pay during the first month of activation of my ADSL service?

You will have to pay the activation fee and this is billed on the date of advice from our wholesale supplier of an estimated date of activation. As the estimated appointment date is almost always met, usually on or before by the wholesale supplier, regardless if you first use the service after this date, you will still be charged a pro-rata amount from the completion date. The reason for this is that Exetel does not know exactly, in real time of when your ADSL service is activated. This is also how the wholesale supplier bill Exetel and so this is how we bill/price our ADSL service accordingly.

  • You will be liable to pay the monthly access charges that apply to the plan you have selected monthly.
