Pricing Summary: "sister" service to Labyrinth, focussed on time-based price plans. Setup fee of $25 applies except for prepaid plans which start at $2 per hour (50 hours minimum). Monthly time-based plans range from $19 for 15 hours in one month through to $499 for a year at 60 hours per month - hourly rate reduces with length of commitment and monthly volume.

Note:It's important to understand the difference between your ITS (University) username and password, and your ISP username and password. They probably won't be the same, and when you have to supply a username or password, you have to give the right one. In the table above, words like its-username mean the username given to you by ITS. Similary, sprint-password means your SprintOnline password, and so on.
