A: Welcome to Galanet. How can I help you?
B: Hi. I would like to get an internet plan for my house.
A: Of course. We have three different plans with different prices you can choose from. The first one is the cheapest but most basic plan which is thirty dollars a month. This is for broadband internet with a download speed of five hundred and twelve kbps.
B: I have no idea what kbps means. I just want to be able to get online, play games and chat with my friends. Oh, and watch movies online as well.
A: Well, this connection might be a bit too slow for your needs. I suggest you get the premium 1 package for fifty dollars a month which includes a connection speed of two megabytes. That way you can play games online without any lag. This package also includes a wireless 2 router and a personal firewall absolutely free!
B:Do I have to pay an installation fee?
A:Lucky for you, this month we aren’t charging our normal installation fee. You are saving yourself 100 bucks 3 right there! And we’ll throw in this pen drive!
