Optico Fiber • Subscriber Agreement

Optico Fiber Subscriber Agreement

This Subscriber Agreement (the “Agreement”) applies to consumers who reside in the Municipalities of San Juan, Guaynabo, Bayamon & Carolina, Puerto Rico.

Critical Hub ‘s Optico Fiber service works a bit differently than as does other broadband services. You have the ability to switch between Optico Fiber plans at any time. There could be costs associated with such switching or terminating. Below, we discuss your options in detail. Capitalized terms used in the Agreement will have the same meaning as they do in our Terms of Service.

*** Only available for customers which qualify for Lifeline services (see www.opticofiber.com/lifeline)

Service	Monthly Cost (not including taxes and fees)	Details
Basic Internet	$300 one time or $50 per month for 6 months	Varies based on community infrastructure, urbanization or permitting requirements. Verify your Subscription Form prior to signup.
Basic Internet + Phone	$300 one time or $50 per month for 6 months
Gigabit	$300, waived as long as a paid service is kept for 24 months
Gigabit + Phone	$300, waived as long as a paid service is kept for 24 months

The Construction Fee is non-refundable and any outstanding balance is due in full if (i) a user cancels Optico Fiber service once construction starts in their Fiberhood, (ii) a subscriber schedules installation more than 40 days after being informed their home is ready for installation, or (iii) a subscriber terminates their service within 6 months of installation (in which case the outstanding balance is pro-rated based upon the number of months the user was subscribed to Optico Fiber).

The Construction Fee includes costs for delivering services to your home via an aerial connection - that is, from a utility pole to your home. If your home requires connectivity through a non-aerial path (i.e. via an existing underground conduit), if there are additional requirements in your community or urbanization, or if the deployment costs exceed the basic Construction Fee cost there may be additional costs associated with your installation. Please notify Optico Fiber prior to our visit to your home.

The Basic Construction Fee assumes a standard installation, which includes:

150ft of exterior fiberoptic cable from Optico Fiber’s closest FTTH terminal to the customer TAP – which is a box that Optico Fiber will mount on the exterior of your home.

Up to 10 feet of pre-terminated interior fiber to connect the customer’s TAP to the interior Network Box.

If your home requires additional exterior or interior fiberoptic cable, there may be additional costs associated with your installation. The Network Box will be mounted on a wall in your home and cannot be moved. If you attempt to move the Network Box, you may break the fiber and your service will be interrupted, and there will be an additional fee for the repair of your service. PLEASE DO NOT MOVE THE NETWORK BOX!

If a Basic Internet Subscriber switches to either 1 Gigabit Internet or 1 Gigabit + Phone during the first 24-months of service and has an outstanding balance due on the Construction Fee, Optico Fiber will waive the balance of the Construction Fee for the remainder of the period, as long as the Subscriber continues to pay for the service. Conversely, if a Gigabit Internet or Gigabit + Phone Subscriber switches to Basic Internet service during the first 24 months, the Construction Fee will no longer be waived and the Subscriber will be required to pay a pro-rated amount of the Construction Fee, based on the number of months remaining in the term.

Below are some examples of how the Construction Fee would be calculated in the event of a Service change.

Example 1: A Subscriber terminates the Gigabit Service Plan after three months, and downgrades to Basic Internet. Original Construction Fee = $300.

Remaining Construction Fee = (24 months – 3 months) x $12.50 = $262.50

Example 2: A Subscriber terminates the Gigabit Service Plan after three months and cancels all services. Original Construction Fee = $500.

Remaining Construction Fee = (24 months – 3 months) x $20.83 = $437.43

Example 3: A Subscriber wishes to upgrade from Basic Internet to the Gigabit Service Plan after four months. Construction Fee was $300. The Subscriber had been paying for the construction fee in $50 payments.

Remaining Construction Fee = $100, which is waived, subject to Subscriber, remaining a Gigabit customer for the remaining 20 months.

Example 4: After two months, a Subscriber wishes to upgrade from Basic Internet to the Gigabit Service Plan. The Subscriber had paid the full $300 Construction Fee prior to installation.

Remaining Construction Fee = $0. Subscriber may downgrade to Basic Internet at any time.

Example 5: After seven months, a Subscriber terminates the Basic Internet Service Plan. The Subscriber had been paying a $300 construction fee in $50 payments.

Remaining Construction Fee = $0. Subscriber may reactive Basic Internet Service at any time.
