Other World Computing (OWC) today announced it has begun offering unlimited nationwide Internet service through FasterMac.net, which provides 56K v.90/v.92 dialup access throughout the United States specifically for users of Apple/Mac computers.

“For less than $9.17 a month, Macintosh users can now get unlimited high-speed dialup Internet service nationwide,” said Larry O’Connor, president and founder of OWC. “Since it was launched in March of 2003, FasterMac.net has consistently provided easy Internet setup, reliable service and sterling technical support to the Macintosh community. We’re very pleased to now be able to offer unlimited service with local numbers nationwide for such a competitive price and at such an excellent value.”

Pricing for FasterMac.net’s unlimited service comes in three payment options:

• Annually - $109.99 (less than $9.17 per month);
  
• Quarterly - $31.99 (less than $10.67 per month); and
  
• Monthly - $11.95.
  

For the same cost as the FasterMac.net’s unlimited v.90/v.92 dialup service, ISDN service is also offered with a 200 channel-hour limit. The original FasterMac.net v.90/v.92 nationwide dialup service now starts at only $7.99 per month, offering the same features as the unlimited access plan but with a connect time limit of 150 hours per month. All three plans provide subscribers with five FasterMac.net email addresses and 10 Megabytes of web hosting space, as well as virus blocking and customizable anti-SPAM filtering capabilities.

OWC also introduced today the new FasterMac.net referral program. Under the new program, customers receive one free month of service for each new customer they get to join.

“FasterMac.Net has been growing by leaps and bounds, and with the new unlimited and ISDN service additions and even better pricing, we expect that growth to increase even more,” O’Connor said. “As much of our growth has been due to customer referrals we want to reward our customers through the referral program. There has never been a better time to get online with FasterMac.net.”
