WHAT IS THE
STORY?
62 percent of Americans in any given location, have roughly two choices when it comes to internet providers. Both of these choices are often riddled with long term commitments, extra taxes, and fees, not to mention slower speeds than they are promised for their hard earned money.When it comes to internet service, we all start as customers. We all start as people waiting on the other side of a line, a robot guiding us through a flaming gauntlet of obstacles that we don’t really want to make because we’d much rather be watching cat videos on youtube or getting some work done at home (BUT CAN’T BECAUSE WE DON’T HAVE INTERNET SERVICE). By the end of that call we are significantly vexed, harshly confused, and suddenly paying far more than we should for an outdated bundle we didn’t ask for, but merely groaned into existence.
WhyFly’s slogan “Gluten Free” is said to portray to its customers that they will not get bogged down with fees, taxes, contracts, cost increase, etc. All of those items you get nailed with at the end of sitting on that really long phone call. Just when you were taken off of hold and you FINALLY get a human on the line, you tell them what you need, you discuss prices…and from what they told you, you don’t love it..but you have no other option, so you’re ready to make a payment…and then they tell you their total. $30-70 more than what you agreed to. They forgot to tell you that taxes cost this much, rentals are an additional fee, and there’s a contract that if you break it, you will pay a premium price to cancel.
At WhyFly, we operate on the premise that not only should consumers have more than one or two options for internet service, but they also operate in a transparent way to inform our customers that they want them to enjoy an attachment free relationship with their service provider. This means no contracts, no taxes, and no additional fees. Heck- most of our marketing is trying to get you free months of internet service by referring your friends and family!
