Hourly Plan

With this plan you pre-pay for 10 or more hours at a time. Those hours are deposited into your account where you can use them any time of the day or night. While connected, the system counts down your time by the minute. You could use up all your time in a single marathon session, or use it a little bit here and there. If it takes you all year (or longer) to use up your time, that's ok by us.

10 - 24 hours	$2.50/hour
25 - 49 hours	$1.50/hour
50+ hours	$1.25/hour
