  1. What is EBPP?
    EBPP is Orbitel Cable Television's new bill payment option that lets you make payments as well as receive and pay "eBills" online. You can make payments anytime, anywhere, from almost any computer with Internet access. You can also set up recurring payments.

    2.   
  2. What is an eBill?
    An eBill (electronic bill) is an electronic version of a paper bill that you can view online.

    3.   
  3. How does Orbitel Cable's EBPP service work?
    There are 3 basic steps involved in using EBPP:


    Step 1: Registration
    When you first begin using the service, be sure to have your Orbitel Cable Television bill handy, then follow the simple enrollment instructions. You will need to have your Orbitel Cable account number, your ZIP+4 (both appear on your Orbitel Cable bill). You will receive a Registration Confirmation email to the email address that you used to register. This will also be the email address that you will receive payment notifications, profile changes, forgotten password and username communications so please be sure to use your best email address to ensure delivery of these important communications regarding your account.
    Step 2: Making An Online Payment
    Click on the "Pay This Statement" button and be sure to select the correct payment method (i.e. routing and transit number for checking account, checking account number, or credit card).
    Step 3: Reviewing Your Payment Information
    After the payment is processed, it appears in your payment history with a status of "Paid." or in terms of a recurring payment, Orbitel Cable receives your payment on the payment date specified by Orbitel Cable. This date is determined by your billing cycle and billing cycle due date.

    4.  
  4. What are the benefits of EBPP?
    • Save time • Automate bill history
    • Decide how much to pay • Archive bill history (You can view the prior 5 months of billing, plus the current monthly bill)
    • Receive payment confirmation • Free & Secure

    5.  
  5. How much does it cost?
    It's FREE! EBPP from Orbitel Cable allows you to view and pay your bill online at no additional charge.

    6.   
  6. How secure is my bill payment and personal information?
    Orbitel Cable's EBPP service uses the following methods to ensure that your information is secure:

    User Name and Password
    Your user name and password are unique identifiers that only you know. If you don't share your user name and password with anyone, then no one else can sign onto Orbitel Cable's EBPP service site pretending to be you.


    SSL
    Orbitel Cable's EBPP service uses SSL (secure sockets layer) that ensures your connection and information is secure.

    Encryption
    Orbitel Cable's EBPP uses 256-bit encryption to make your information unreadable as it passes over the Internet.

    Automatic Sign Out
    Orbitel Cable's EBPP automatically signs you out of a session if you are inactive for a period of time. We recommend you sign out immediately after you are finished scheduling and making payments.

     
  7. Do I need any special hardware or software to sign up for EBPP?
    No special hardware or software is required to use this service. You will only need Internet access and a Web browser.

    Please note that most browsers use 40-bit encryption. For the highest level of security available, we suggest you use 128-bit encryption or higher to access your bill. You can download 128-bit encryption by visiting one of the following Web sites:

    • For Microsoft Internet Explorer, please go to:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/default.asp
