II. Technical Support
Our company provides you with technical support on the maintenance of Internet access to your location. The definition of our service extends to the gateway/router if it was provided by Methownet.com or your antenna/radio if we did not provide your router/gateway. The monthly service does not include maintenance, support, or repair of your computer hardware, software, or in-house wireless networks. Support for these components can be provided to customers at our regular shop rate.

Our company's Technical Support Department operates 8 to 6, Mon-Sat, and is available by E-mail mw1@methownet.com. Please send us a message with the full description of the problem and your account username. Please do not send multiple messages on the same issue.

Our company's standard response time to technical support issues is 24 hours. This time, however, depends on the complexity of the inquiry and workload in general. The Technical Support Department assigns the highest priority to customer inquiries related to the Internet unavailability. These issues are addressed immediately upon receiving e-mail notification from a customer. Please keep in mind that it may take some time to resolve the issue so you may not get an immediate reply.

Support turnaround time guarantee does not apply to any development related or web site troubleshooting issues since such issues often involve extensive research and testing.

V. Scheduled Maintenance
To guarantee optimal performance of the servers, our company will perform routine maintenance on the servers on a regular basis. Such maintenance often requires taking company servers off-line.

The maintenance typically is performed during off-peak hours. MW provides you with advance notice of maintenance whenever possible.

Our company employs sophisticated RAID techniques to ensure the integrity of the data on its servers; the data is written to two disks simultaneously to prevent data loss in the event of hardware failure.
