Referrals

I am excited to hear about the referrals. The only thing I miss about working with a franchise is the opportunity to use their referral system.

Have you looked at your Equator bill this month?

It looks as if times are desperate for all trying to nickel and dime us, now its Equator. I typically paid about $65 dollars a month for ZIP codes today I woke up to $511 a month for the same Zip codes. As you can imagine I was not the only one caught by surprise. Contacting support at 9:13AM eastern time I'm still in line for support number 138, 2 hours later. So check your equator bill this morning.
