What’s Included in My Internet Plan? A Quick Breakdown

When you sign up for an internet plan, you want to know exactly what you are getting. Speeds, equipment, installation, and even membership benefits all play a role in your experience. At Westman Communications Group, we aim to keep things clear so you can choose the plan that works best for your household. This blog breaks down what comes standard with every Connect Internet plan and what you can expect as a WCG member.

Fibre-Powered Speeds for Every Household

Every WCG Internet plan is fibre-powered. This means your connection is supported by a network built to handle today’s internet use, from video calls and online gaming to streaming, schoolwork, and smart home devices. Fibre-powered internet gives you more consistent speeds and reliability compared to older cable-only networks.

There are six core internet plans available, with a seventh offered in select communities:

• Connect 75

• Connect 250

• Connect 450

• Connect 650

• Connect 850

• Connect 1 GIG

• Connect 2.5 GIG (availability varies by location)

These plans are designed to match the way households use the internet. For example, Connect 75 works well for light browsing or a one or two-person household. Connect 450 is popular with families that work and play online at the same time, while 1 GIG and 2.5 GIG are ideal for heavy users or homes where many devices are connected at once. The goal is to provide an option that fits your needs without asking you to pay for more than you require.

What Every Plan Includes

No matter which internet plan you select, several features come standard. These are not add-ons; they are included in the base cost of your plan.

First, all plans include unlimited internet usage. You never have to track how much data you are using or worry about paying extra for going over a cap. Unlimited usage keeps things flexible and straightforward, especially in busy households where multiple people are online at once.

Second, each plan comes with free professional installation. A technician will visit your home, set up your service, and make sure everything is running smoothly before they leave. This saves you the frustration of trying to figure out the setup yourself. For those who prefer a quicker setup, self-install kits are also available for you to take home. 

Third, the rental of a standard modem is included. You do not need to purchase your own equipment unless you choose to. The modem remains the property of Westman, so if you ever cancel your service, it just needs to be returned.

Finally, there are no contracts on standard internet plans. You are billed monthly, but you are not locked into a long-term agreement. This provides flexibility in case your household needs change.

Add-Ons and Options

Beyond a standard internet connection, you can also add Wi-Fi to your plan. WCG offers two options to suit different households:

• Connect Wi-Fi Starter

• Connect Wi-Fi Protector

Both options include access to the free WCG Connect Wi-Fi App, which lets you manage your home network right from your phone. Through the app, you can see which devices are connected, pause Wi-Fi access, or set up parental controls.

Connect Wi-Fi Protector takes things a step further with added security features, helping block online threats and giving you more ways to control how your network is used.

These Wi-Fi services are not included automatically with every internet plan, but they can be added if you want more convenience or peace of mind. If you see “Connect Wi-Fi Starter” or “Connect Wi-Fi Protector” listed on your bill, it means you’ve chosen to include one of these options.

Membership Benefits

What really sets WCG apart is that internet service is not just a contract; it is a membership. Westman Communications Group is a cooperative, which means when you sign up, you are not only a customer, you are also a member. Membership comes with unique benefits that grow over time.

After five years of membership, you can enjoy perks such as special member pricing, annual discounts on select services, or even temporary internet speed upgrades. Members are also entered into exclusive giveaways throughout the year, with prizes given back to loyal households.

Perhaps the most unique benefit is equity. Each month that you subscribe to WCG services, you build equity in the cooperative. This equity may be paid out as dividends depending on the organization’s financial standing. Over time, this adds up to a tangible return on your membership, much like an investment.

Wrapping Up

When you look at what is included in a WCG Internet plan, you are getting more than just a connection. Every plan provides unlimited usage, a modem, free installation, and the flexibility of no contracts. Beyond that, optional add-ons let you customize your service, while cooperative membership rewards you with benefits, giveaways, and equity that build year after year.

So the next time you wonder what is really included in your internet plan, know that with WCG, it is not only about speed, it is also about value, flexibility, and community membership.
