Billing FAQ
In order for us to keep our prices and overhead down our default billing is ELECTRONIC invoices sent via EMAIL. If you must have a paper invoice mailed to you then this can be arranged by calling our office at 918-608-8888. A fee of $4.95 per mailed invoice will be added to your bill. We know this seems unfair however please keep in mind that in order for us to send this to you it takes supplies, postage, and manpower and all of that costs money. All internet plans must be set up on auto pay
We send invoices electronically using e-mail and PDF files. You may also pay online using the links provided in the e-mail. Internet billing must be set up on auto pay. It is a prepaid service
The answer to this question depends on when your service was installed and setup was complete. All SPARK Services accounts are considered PREPAID which means if for example if you establish services with us on the 17th of the month then this too will be y0ur next billing date.
We bill what is called “doorstep-to-doorstep” billing meaning we charge you from the minute we leave and are en-route to your location. This sounds like it is unfair but remember we have to pay for our own gas, and wear and tear on our vehicles. Other companies will just try to “hide” this charge but we do not work that way. To us it’s just doing the right thing by letting customers know exactly what they are being billed for.
We will do what it takes to work with your accounts payable department. However these arrangements MUST be made in advance.
If we can’t fix it there is absolutely 100% no charge for our services. We also provide free estimates!

In some cases (few hardware issues), we have to take system to our office based lab. There is a $95 service charge for this service. The charge is door to door service. Residential and business
To answer this question correctly, we first would need to know what you would like to do on your network. After that, we can put together a list of equipment you will need. Most small networks will just need some sort of a switch or a router, some network cable, and a couple of network cards.

2. There may be times your connection may drop out altogether. If this happens, SPARK Services will do everything we can to resolve the issue; HOWEVER, if the carrier is experiencing any kind of outage or change of service, SPARK Services does not have any control over that. You will not be issued a refund or credit for the days your service was down.
