PANGAEA Internet now requires automatic recurring payments – June 2024

PANGAEA Internet now requires accounts to be set up for automatic recurring payments in order to keep our nonprofit operating costs as low as possible. 

If you haven’t already, please log into the customer portal by July 22, 2024 to add your payment method and select autopay for your debit card, credit card, or bank account, in order to avoid the $5 monthly processing fee. The autopay transaction will process when we issue invoices on the 1st day of each month. (Note: If your account has a credit balance, auto pay will not begin until after the credit balance is exhausted.)

To access the portal page, go to https://customer.e-polk.org

If you’ve never accessed the portal, click on “New Portal User? Register an account here!” Follow the onscreen instructions to gain access to your customer portal.

You may also contact us at 828-859-3072, Option 1, and our billing department will be happy to assist you.

Thank you for working with us to make this change. It will save us (and you) a lot of time once autopay is set-up.

PANGAEA Internet’s nonprofit mission is to deliver affordable, reliable connectivity and services for our region. This mission will enhance economic development, improve the quality of life, and create a broad platform of innovation enabling underserved areas.

High-speed connectivity and zero complaints

The service and internet provided by PANGAEA are top-notch. Our company has the business up and running with high-speed connectivity and zero complaints. If you have the option to use PANGAEA we highly recommend it.

No more roaming around the house trying to get a connection and no more dropped meetings

I signed onto PANGAEA mainly because I was unhappy with the business practices of my former provider. The biggest benefit now is that when my work from home adult children visit there is no more roaming around the house trying to get a connection and no more dropped meetings. Everyone in the house can be using devices and stay connected.
Eileen Murphy, Rutherfordton, NC
