We are now using the @connectto.net domain for all new customers. The connectto.net name is what our website name is so changing it from @gct21.net to connectto.net makes more sense. It helps us to get our name out there.
Checks were mailed out late, they were mailed earlier this week. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
We have added a blog just for our affiliates. The weblog (blog) has been created just for you. In it, we intend to keep you informed of upcoming plans that we have to help you increase your affiliate earnings, and to increase the satisfaction of your end users. Click here to go to the blog
We are working on some "web standard" banners. You can have a look at them here if you like. There is nothing there too spiffy yet and not many banners but we are working on it so check back often
The information includes; Some Internet marketing firms and a few marketing related resources

From now on all dial up users can download Propel for free if they want!
You can get it here
It is not 256k, broadband or any such animal. It is only a web accelerator just like Propel and may even be Propel branded to NetZero.
Here is a link to an article posted about it and a brief summary of what the article says;
http://www.gearlive.com/index.php/news/article/netzero_hispeed_3g_email_conversation_07060231/
**The beginning of the article > So, a few weeks ago I made a post where I discussed the Netzero HiSpeed 3G commercial that I saw while watching TV. I called out NetZero for the way they were promoting the service, saying that you won’t believe it isn’t broadband. I then searched their site for the Terms of Service, and posted them to Gear Live. I pointed out how it basically sped up text transfer and images. Basically, none of the things that people get broadband for in the first place - multimedia streaming, downloads, VOIP, etc. - had any different on NetZero 3G. I also stated that the 3G term was misleading, as many understand it to be a truly broadband way of transferring data. Well, Peter Delgrosso took offense to the post. He works with NetZero, and pointed out his stance on the situation. I responded, offering to review the service and give an honest opinion - he never wrote back.
NOTE: The main reported trouble seems to be the area code issue.
We put the area and country code in the correct fields in the .INS and .ISP file to help end-users. This is because we have no idea how to dial directly from every location. Some people have 7 digit dialing, 10 digit dialing, and yet other may need to dail 9 to get an outside line. It is the end-users job to enter their area code and dialing rules in their computer to dial number correctly. If we hard code the area code in the access number than people who need not dial the area code would have trouble.
We intend to start propel for free as soon as we can get it programmed.
Existing propel users wiill become free and commission payments to affiliates for Propel will stop.
Anybody who received an acceleration commission this month also received a written letter giving them 10 days to object to the change.
We have asked that people report this to us but....
If you are going to report it we will need some information about the issue;
1. The access number WITH area code
2. The call FROM number, meaning the number from which the modem was trying to dial from
3. The error message, operator message, busy signal, etc.
4. Where you downloaded or received the set up file from.
5. The network if possible
6. If you were able to modify something to resolve it what did you do?
All of this information will help us to resolve the issue.
Please send examples to support@connectto.net Thanks!

Subject: ConnectTo.Net Affiliate Information
Dear ConnectTo.Net Affiliate:
As you know, we are currently offering the Propel accelerator to your refferees at a cost of $4.95 per month. We are exploring the idea of offering the accelerator at no extra cost with all of our ConnectTo.Net accounts. However, this would mean that we would have to discontinue commission payments on the accelerator. Underlying commissions on the base accounts would remain the same.
We are interested to know your reaction to such a change.
Please email us at changes@ConnectTo.Net
Affiliate Joe Ferdinando has created a neat tool for those of you who want to make multiple access number CDs and floppies
You can get to his page by clicking here:

Q: You have a note in the Back Office stating that we can lose our Back Office
privileges if we continue to reload the Utilities.
How are we supposed to make our CDs for getting customers?
How often can we reload that page without consequences?
A: The message regarding reloading only applies to the down line report.
Due to the size of our affiliate and customer databases displaying each persons down line takes system resources.
If you where to sit and reload the down line report page over and over again you would be hogging system resources that other users may need.
There is no exact limit but if problems arise we would audit activity to determine the cause and restrict that accounts access.
All other feature of the back office have no such related possible trouble.
Basically anything but sitting and reload your down line report every minute is acceptable use of the affiliate back office.
Some of you received and email from us late last year mentioning we are working on a 256k connection
Here is what was sent
We expect the release of new dialup technology early next year which
will allow dialup customers to connect at 256K, instead of the current 56K
limit. ConnectTo.Net is already at work implementing this new technology.
We will let you know as soon as it's ready.
As of today - 3/2/05 we do not have any "new" information about this except that the project is on schedule
and the release date is expected to be sometime in June 2005
We will let everyone know via email and posting to this page
as well as our system messages page as soon as we have more information

On our website http://www.connectto.net/affiliate_b.php it states:
"Why pay for your internet connection, when you can get it for free?
Sign up 4 users plus yourself, and your internet connection is free.
This does not mean you will not be billed for your monthly internet service.
What this means is if you sign up enough people you will then be earning enough from
our company to receive a check every month that would pay for your internet service with us.
We must continue to bill you for your monthly service no matter how many paid accounts
you have in your downline.
In the future there will be a $15 charge to make changes
when affiliates do not use the correct affiliate code for their sign ups.
Meaning, if you sign someone up and they do not end up in your downline
your choice will be to pay $15.00 to get them moved or forget about it.
This is due to the HIGH number of affiliates using incorrect URL's and constantly having us
move sign ups and affiliate sign ups.
Please make sure that you give out/use the correct URL to avoid this charge.

When people sign up under me they are not showing up in my downline!
You need to make sure your affiliate ID is entered correctly.
Your URL should look something like this:
http://www.connectto.net/?s_c=1018302118
But of course YOUR ID should be where the number is.
If customers are not showing up in your downline and you are SURE everything is correct,
then send us an email to: support@ConnectTo.Net with your ID, name, their ID and name and we will look into it.
No, not from us unless you are a DIAL UP CUSTOMER.
If you signed up on a site that states you get a web site you need to go back to that site and ask them.
The checks are paid (paid meaning MAILED) during the last 2 weeks of the month.
If you have not received a check AFTER that then contact us.
You will get a 1099 at the end of the year if you receive over $600 a year.
