Thanks for calling Net Hero. I'm an AI assistant and this call may be recorded. How can I help?

Our Wi-Fi drops out in the back bedroom and on the lanai.

That's a common one. A tech can come out for a free survey to find the dead spots. Does Thursday morning work in Lakeland?
Caller
Thursday's good.

Support plans cover our labor and support time only. They are not a repair, replacement or equipment plan. Support runs during posted business hours; after-hours visits are billed at the member rate. Unused hours and visits don't roll over. "Fair use" means about 8 hours a month per household or about 4 hours per user. Travel is included in Polk County; a flat trip fee applies elsewhere in Tampa Bay. Installs, projects and equipment are quoted separately. Third-party software and Starlink service are billed by those companies.

Questions people ask

What happens at the free survey?

A tech visits (or hops on a video call), looks at your setup, checks where Wi-Fi drops off, and asks what you need. You get a plain-English list of what we'd do and what it costs. No pressure to book anything.

Is your phone answered by a person or an AI?

Our AI receptionist answers 24/7 and tells you it's an AI at the start of the call. Calls may be recorded. It can answer common questions and book a visit. Ask for a person anytime and we'll call you back during business hours.

Are you part of Starlink?

No. Net Hero is an independent local company. We help you choose, place, aim and set up Starlink and connect it to your Wi-Fi. Starlink sells and bills the service itself. Speeds and availability vary by location and conditions.

Will backup internet keep me online in a storm?

It can help. A backup line is set up to take over when your main internet fails, but no connection works in every condition, and both lines still need power. We'll talk through what fits your home or office.

Do support plans pay for broken equipment?

No. Plans include our labor and support time, like remote help, visits and checkups. They don't repair, replace or pay for any device. If something needs replacing, we'll help you pick it and set it up at your member discount.

Is there a contract?

Home plans are month-to-month and you can cancel anytime. Business plans have a 3-month minimum, then go month-to-month with 30 days' notice.

Do I have to buy equipment from you?

No. You can use your own gear. If you buy through us, we price it at cost-plus and tell you what it cost us.

Book your free survey

Tell us a little about your place and what's bugging you. We'll reach out to set a time, usually within one business day.
