Answers



Can I use an ATM or debit card to pay? back to top
Yes. You can use your debit card as long as it has a Visa or MasterCard logo on it.



When will the first charge to my account take place? back to top
SurfBest will process your first charge within the first 3 days of your signup. The charge may be immediate or delayed up to 72 hours. Since we prorate charges for the current month's service, your first charge will typically be more than our advertised monthly rate. Click here for more information on first charges. 



Can I pay by check or money order? back to top
Yes, SurfBest does accept payment by check or money order, although we will charge an additional fee of $2 per month if you want an invoice or reminder to pay for service each month. Please be advised that SurfBest will impose a returned check fee up to the maximum allowed by law on any check returned for any reason.

Please make checks or money orders payable to:  SurfBest Internet Services, Inc

Does SurfBest accept direct withdrawal from my bank account? back to top
Yes, we can set up automatic withdrawal from your checking or savings account. We'll just need the bank routing number and your account number. There is no additional charge for this service. 



How do I change my credit card / billing information? back to top
You can use our billing change form located here.



When does billing take place for monthly accounts? back to top
Your initial charge is within three days of signing up. All future charges are done seven days before the beginning of each calendar month. EXAMPLE: If you sign up Feb. 7th, Your first charge will be Feb 7-10. The first charge will cover the remainder of the current month and ALL of next month. Your next charge will happen at the end of following month, usually on the 24th. 




Why was my credit card declined? back to top
If your credit card was declined when you signed up, this may be caused by several factors. Our system does extensive fraud checking. You need to be sure you enter the exact name and address that the credit card company has on file. This is done to protect you, the user from fraudulent use of your credit card.
Also, If your credit card company issues you a new card with a different expiration date, you'll need to let us know. 



I signed up but never started using the account, will I be charged? back to top
As with most Internet companies, SurfBest charges as soon as your information is accepted by our system. SurfBest charges monthly per account regardless of account usage. 



My first charge was more than I expected, why? back to top
Currently, SurfBest has one billing cycle that happens within the last 7 days of each month.  This helps keep our costs down and your price low.  Because of this, your first month is prorated at a daily rate plus the next full calendar month. Future charges will be the basic rate.  If you signed up on May 15, for basic SurfBest service ($12.50/month) then the first charge is $18.75 and covers May 15 through June 30.  Future charges are made seven days before the end of each month for the following month's service. (In this example on June 23 for July service.)



I prepaid for your service, how do I renew my account? back to top
All accounts are automatically renewed at the end of the prepay term.



Can I change my billing date? back to top
