Frequently Asked Questions
Dial-Up is a method of connecting your computer to the Internet using a modem and a phone line.
A modem is an electronic device that converts digital data from a computer into a form suitable for transmission over telephone lines, and incoming signals from the telephone line into a form that can be recognized by the computer. Modems are available as external devices and as internal cards.
You'll need a web browser, an e-mail program, and an Internet dialer. Computers meeting our minimum system requirements come with this software pre-loaded. Our technical support can walk you through setting this software up over the phone, getting you on-line in minutes.
If you are purchasing a new modem, we recommend a V.92 56K modem. Most computer retail outlets sell modems of this type.
Propel Accelerator is a service that increases web and e-mail downloads. It works by compressing web pages and e-mails before sending them to your modem. The result is an increase in speed of up to 500%.
You can download Propel Accelerator from our web site. After connecting to the Internet, go here. Propel Accelerator is also on our setup CD-ROM.
All dial-up plans have an idle timeout of 20 minutes and a session limit of 8 hours. This means that if your connection goes unused for 20 minutes or stays connected for 8 hours in a row, we will disconnect you automatically. You can immediately reconnect after being disconnected.
Our Flat-Rate, Dual-Channel, and LAN-On-Demand ISDN plans have an excessive usage limit. If you are on one of these plans, you will never pay more than the flat-rate you have agreed to. However, these plans cannot be used to access the Internet 24 hours a day. We define excessive use as six times the average. If the average use of our Flat-Rate accounts over a month is 60 hours, then the excessive use limit is 360 hours. That's 12 hours a day -- a lot of use. If you must be connected to the Internet 24 hours a day, we have a Dedicated access plan available for that purpose at a slightly higher charge.
Complete details on plan limits are in our Terms of Service.

I just had to send this email to you. Phil came in this morning and said he called China last night and was thrilled with the quality of the voice and with the ease of the call. I also wanted to let you know that all the phones have been working so good and we are very happy with them:) Thank you for all of your energies and kindness getting us up and running correctly!

Thank You! Last week I could not connect to www.mercury.net. I called tech help and learned that your experts identified unusual activity. They were about to contact me when I called. Over several phone calls, Tim, Jason and one other guy that I did not write down helped me re-establish connection and helped me get established with Malwarebytes, etc. All three of these guys were TERRIFIC! I have been a Mercury customer since about 1997 and one reason is the great service provided. Thanks Mercury Team!

I have to tell you, the service is awesome. We've been a customer of yours for many years, since (dial-up)... Service has been absolutely fantastic.
Roger B.Washington, MI
Jason, thank you so much for all you did ... for being so helpful and pleasant ... that sure makes a difference ... one doesn't always get good service today.
Jeanmarie S.Manitowoc, WI
This evening, I called Mercury support to help troubleshoot a WiFi connection from the router. Noel was our support person. I wanted to let you know what a great job he did. He was very patient and continued troubleshooting until the issues were completely resolved. He was very pleasant and very knowledgeable. I was very impressed. Even when I became frustrated with the router reset not working (when it really was working), he assured me we would resolve the problem. And we did! Job well done Noel. Thank you!
Michelle K.Casco, WI

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the wonderful service we have received from Mercury since we joined Mercury. Even without all of the recent added enhancements, the service you have provided has been without fault. We sometimes take for granted those things. Thanks.
AnonymousBrighton, MI
Good morning Noel. Yesterday on OPEN MIC on our local radio station your boss was on. I called in and told him what a great job you guys (you and Nate) did. Maybe he will take you out for breakfast? Have a great day!
