Service Thrives As Many Internet Companies Close Doors.
As dot.com Internet
companies fail, who will be left to serve local communities with Internet
service?

Quik
Internet provides Internet access services through locally owned and
operated offices. Since originating through the parent company, Quik
International in the U.S. in 1996 the Quik Internet model has expanded to
over 20 countries and over 200 offices.
Companies that have
spent billions advertising the Internet are leaving hundreds of thousands
of their ex-customers without service.
It’s translating into ‘good’
news for Quik Internet. The
Quik Internet franchise approach to deliver Internet service is now
evolving as a fast, reliable and best-priced solution.
The Quik philosophy is
different states Quik International President, Jack Reynolds.
“Larger providers
have one goal. Give away zillions of CDs and have the public sign-up with
them using a credit card and then never to hear from them again..
They don’t tell the CD user that the CD will compromise other
software in their PC. This is
not a mistake, it is done on purpose. They even make it extremely difficult to cancel.
They continue to charge the credit card until the customers contact
the credit card company refusing to pay. When they do call for help they
hear a variety of recordings.
The Quik philosophy is
that we want to know all our customers and want to be in their face to
help or answer questions. Quik
Internet franchise owners offer local help, local offices and free
Internet training classes in their area.
Local delivery of services means the customer may have options such
as ‘onsite’ training and set-up in home or business.
Real service does not require a CD.
As more companies
fail, the Quik Internet Franchise is poised as a flourishing business
opportunity. What has
happened is just the beginning. Ten of thousands of employees are being
sent home as companies run out of money and there are a lot more to come.
People still need necessities and a reliable Internet connection is
one of them.
Latest reports show
that 56K dial-up access is still the fastest growing segment of Internet
connectivity. It is still expected to be the leader for 5-8 years. DSL and
Cable connections are way behind in their projections. Major companies are
in trouble. Covad trading was
recently stopped at $2 7/8. They used to sell at $67. Earthlink and Spring have stopped
their co-branding agreement. Earthlink
shares have gone to $9 ¼ from $27. Sprint has gone from $67 to
$22.10.
Internet
“unreliability” is real. There’s
a recent story in LA Times by Personal Technology Columnist, Dave Wilson.
He describes the necessity of juggling 5 Internet connections to
assure getting on when he needs to. He states, “if you think standard
access is hinky, the reliability of high speed services such as DSL is
even worse.”
As
more competition shuts down, the timing
has never been better to be a Quik Internet Franchise owner.
For Quik Internet customers will enjoy personal service with local
offices and be assured of getting online due to low customer/modem
ratios.”
Quik
Internet provides full Internet Access services through locally owned and
operated offices.
Since
1996, the Quik Internet franchise model has been successfully launched in
over 20 countries.
