Services Available to PRIS Members
The Peace Region Internet Society is pleased to provide the following services to PRIS members:
General Connectivity to the Internet:
- PRIS provides a number of membership options. Our most popular option is the FULL ACCESS option. With this
package, your usage is only limited by the availability of lines. PRIS maintains Line to Member ratios which are significantly
better than industry standards.
- Members who make infrequent use of the Internet may benefit from our
CASUAL SURFER'S CARD. It allows you 120 hours to be used at your convenience - no monthly
bills to pay.
- Members who require 24 hour per day connectivity at high Broadband speeds may wish to subscribe to our WIRELESS or
ADSL services. (Dawson Creek, Hudson's hope, Taylor, and Ft St John only, at this time.)
- Companies requiring more than 4 accounts will benefit from our CORPORATE RATES.
