Core Service Overview and Ideal User Profile
The Standard Plan elevates your connectivity experience, providing speeds up to 30 Mbps download for just $55.00 per month. This package is specifically designed for the small family or couple where one person might be working or learning remotely while another streams entertainment. It eliminates the minor bottlenecks often found with entry-level plans, offering comfortable performance for 1–3 users and a modest collection of connected devices (smartphones, tablets, and a streaming TV). The Standard Plan represents excellent value, serving as the reliable backbone for active, modern digital life without crossing into higher-tier pricing. It is our most popular choice for ensuring a harmonious digital environment.
Detailed Usage and Performance Breakdown
The jump to 30 Mbps unlocks crucial capabilities. This speed comfortably supports two concurrent standard HD video streams (which require 5–8 Mbps each) or one intensive task, such as a large file download (which typically benefits from speeds exceeding 10 Mbps). The Standard Plan is highly rated for video teleconferencing (Zoom, Skype) as it guarantees sufficient bandwidth for a stable, high-quality video feed, which is critical for remote work and education. While the connection is strong, heavy multi-player online gaming, especially when paired with 4K streaming, is better suited for a higher tier. The Standard Plan excels by providing stability and efficiency for consistent, day-to-day moderate usage across multiple devices.
The Northwest Ohio Advantage: Local Reliability
When you subscribe to the Standard Plan, you are buying into the dependability of a local company that understands the challenges of internet service in Van Wert, Mercer, Darke, Shelby, and Auglaize counties. We continuously invest in our fixed wireless and fiber network to ensure that your 30 Mbps speed is delivered consistently, minimizing the “slow periods” common with overloaded infrastructure. Our friendly, local customer support—easily reachable via 419-678-0178 or cs@nwohiobb.com—means you talk to someone who genuinely cares and can quickly address local network issues. We pride ourselves on the positive reviews from your neighbors, who frequently praise our consistent speeds and fantastic support.
Installation, Equipment, and Mandatory Terms
The convenience of the Standard Plan extends to its setup. You can choose a FREE standard installation by opting for a 2-year service commitment, or pay $149.99 upfront for maximum flexibility. The payment system is streamlined: Autopay is Required and processes your bill automatically on the 20th of each month. Essential equipment compliance remains key: utilize approved routers (such as TP-Link or Linksys Mesh systems). Remember, Netgear routers are explicitly not approved. Customers can rent a router for $5.00/month or purchase one outright for $100. Standard installation covers the radio mount, up to 100 ft of cable, and one exterior penetration; complex setups (like outbuildings or long cable runs) will incur additional fees.
Upgrade to Consistent Performance
If your current plan feels strained by simultaneous streaming and remote work, the Standard Plan is the logical and affordable upgrade. It delivers the speed required for a modern, multi-device household without hesitation. Ready to eliminate buffering and enjoy consistent connectivity?
