Internet Discount

BENEFIT FOR LGA MEMBERS: Unlimited Internet access for only $13.95 per month - about 33% less than the public rate, OR subscribe for seasonal, short-term rates for members who come to the lake on weekends and would like internet access while here. Seasonal “Fast Activation” accounts are available at these low rates: $5-weekend, $7.50-week, or $13.95-month. (Dialup is not provided in the South Hill area)

The LGA has arranged this great benefit for its members who would like to use Telpage as their Internet Service Provider (ISP) and receive these many attractive features:

Part-time residents who do not need all the benefits above may subscribe to the Seasonal “Fast Activation” Dialup Account which provides internet access via a quick & simple process at low prices. After the one-time sign up, members simply Email or call Telpage during weekday business hours to have service activated for that weekend (noon Friday to Midnight Sunday), that week, or that month. No minimums - No maximums – and billed during month of use.

TO SIGN UP for either plan, or for additional information:

YourChoice@LGaston.org or YourChoice@Telpage.net

LGA members who are Telpage ISP customers (i.e., “something”@yahoo.com) will need to call Telpage directly to initiate the cost savings. Members who would like to change domains (not required) from @Telpage.net to @LGaston.org (see * note below) will also need to call Telpage directly. Telpage will contact the LGA for membership verification on these account and new accounts.

The LGA’s mission is to improve and enhance the benefits of lake living, and we believe this offer does that. The ability, strength and effectiveness when fulfilling our “bigger” mission, depends heavily on the number of LGA members. The cost savings of this ISP benefit definitely offsets the dues for LGA membership, and provides yet another reason for lake residents to JOIN the LGA! We thank our members and Telpage for this support.

TELPAGE is a stable, reliable and growing ISP with excellent technical support. They have been providing Internet services to lake residents for years, and they have agreed to expand their local calling access area so that all but a few areas of Lake Gaston have the ability to dial toll free. (South Hill area is no longer available) The Lake Gaston Computer Club chose Telpage for a similar service, and is very pleased. We think you will be too.

TELPAGE is also providing the LGA with free hosting of our website, www.LakeGastonAssoc.com, representing a reduction in our operating expenses. The LGA owns this domain name as well as the “LGaston.org” email domain, making them “portable” if the LGA should ever need or want to change providers for these services. *This also means member email addresses @LGaston.org will NOT change even if the LGA changes providers.
