These accounts are the same as co-operative accounts. The small cell rollout areas currently include:
+ Libau
+ Molson
+ Vivian
+ Elma
+ Whitemouth
+ Bird's Hill
+ Pinawa Bay/Lee River
Customers can purchase more than one of these accounts. Only residents or business owners located in the specific "small cell" rollout service area, which is a 5 mile radius from the areas listed above, are entitled to purchase these accounts. There are ONLY 12 of these accounts per service area. All other subscribers to these areas will be "regular" account types and will not be entitled to co-operative account benefits. Each "small cell" rollout subscriber will be entitled to the same co-operative account benefits as listed below and as expansion continues and they will be incorporated into the larger service area they are part of.
There are significant benefits to holding a co-operative account. All other accounts pay the standard monthly fees and other costs. This fee is a one time cost. This is guaranteed access, or your money back in full.
Click here for an explanation of what co-operative member accounts mean.
Co-operative members can be proud that, because of them, their local area has rural high speed internet. They are the grass roots builders of their local area internetwork. Co-operative accounts entitle the purchasor to "own a piece of the business" and through that ownership, get a piece of the pie in return for their commitment to the local franchise.
Benefits of being a co-operative account holder includes:
- annual dividend payout
- limited participation in decision making
- a possible buyout after a specific timeframe (return on investment)
- a siginicant reduction for per month access charges ($10/mo. off your account type the first year, $15/mo. off your account type the second year)
- the $75 setup fee is waived for co-operative account holders
- other appreciation benefits
You will be contacted directly by one of the YIA.ca sales team to get specific information about which "small cell" rollout service area you are part of. We will be more than happy to answer any other questions you may have at that time.
This specific account type holds a guaranteed service clause which means that if we do not or cannot provide service to you within 30 days, we will refund your money in full.
As with all other accounts of this type, you will need to subscribe to a relevant monthly residential or business account.
NB: The light service is not available to co-operative account holders.
