Weekly Wrap Up

The Hyper Fusion weekly wrap-up for the week of April 3-7, 2023 is here! It has been a doozy with storms, however Hyper Fusion is still strong. Our network is running at 96%. This means that everyone should be experiencing their package speeds.

Our network experienced an upstream provider outage this week. Thank you for your patience during the outage. We understand how it can be frustrating, and that is why we will soon be introducing our partnership with a National 4g lte/5g carrier to provide a back up connection for our customers. Stay tuned for more details coming soon!!!

We are now bringing Fusion Fiber to your home in select areas!! You can find out more information by visiting our Fusion Fiber page at the link below:

Hyper Fusion Wrap-up event of the week:

40th Annual Blue Bonnet Festival

Every week the staff chooses a Hyper Fusion wrap-up event. This week’s event is the 40th Annual Blue Bonnet Festival!! A great way to wrap up a stressful week is to visit Burnet’s historic square this weekend and enjoy all the festivities such as; searching for the perfect souvenir with vendors from all over Texas,  or watch the parade on Saturday. There is something for everyone with the carnival in town from Thursday evening through Sunday afternoon. There will also be live music with this year’s headliner Casey Donahew!

Spring has Sprung safety tips

While the hill country is known for its spring flowers, with hundreds of people driving the countryside hopeful for the perfect picture, please keep a few safety tips in mind.

1. Watch for traffic. Pull safely off the road on a straightaway if you can. Put your flashers on, and if you have pets or small children, please have them exit the vehicle on the passenger side into the ditch.
2. Watch for snakes. The warmer weather has brought snakes out of their brumation period. They will be hunting for food and are easily hidden by brush, grass, and flowers. If you are bitten by a snake, stay calm and contact emergency services immediately. Staying calm helps slow the rate of circulation of the venom throughout the body.
3. Make sure to hydrate! With rising temperatures, the chances of dehydration rise too. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water and taking time to cool off when doing outside for long periods, whether for fun or work.
4. Make sure your pets stay hydrated too! Having access to shade and plenty of water will make sure your furry family members have a wonderful springtime too!

We’re Hiring!

Now Hiring Mini-Tower Crews

This post is about mini tower building, but if your interested in stalling roof mounted masts too, check out this video ( https://youtu.be/eyXn6t_Cc40 )  to get an idea of what it can be like.

Been looking for a better job?  Just scope out the photos below.  What we're looking for is very simple.  2 people to build the little 4 to 6 section ( sections are 10 feet each ) little mini rohn 25g radio towers.  We have a very big back log of orders and need more installers.  All you would be doing is building the towers.  Sometimes we put TV Antennas on them, sometimes internet, sometimes, mobile extenders, just all depends, but you won't have to mess with any electrical, equipment gear, JUST BUILD THE TOWER, and install the ground rod, and that's it.  No enclosures, no nothing, just build the tower.  If you don't dilly dally, should take the average person 2 hours to dig the hole, and 2 hours to put 2 sections together and drop it in the hole, get it level, and put the concrete in.  Then you go for lunch for an hour to 2 hours, come back, and put up the other 2 to 4 sections using our nifty little section hoist that has a pole that sticks up a foot past the top of the tower so you just simply use the rope, person on the ground hoists it up, person the tower slips it into place, and plugs 6 bolts in there and tightens them up.   The way we do towers, there will NEVER be any guy lines.  Everything you see pictured will be the same way every time.  Always bolted to the side of a structure.  You can come as a single person, or a pair, either way, pay is the same and by the job and 1099, and you make your own schedule, use your own tools ( we'll provide the gin pole hand crane for lifting sections ) and all job materials, and equipment, you provide your own way to Burnet to pick up materials and to the job site.

$500 for a 4 section mini tower
$600 for a 5 section mini tower
$700 for a 6 section mini tower

If you figure your working 4 hours, take 2 for lunch, work for 4 hours, that's 10 hours, so for a 4 section mini tower, that's roughly $50/hr minimum.  If we really get going, and you have 3 people, and 1 person going around building bases, and the other 2 putting up sections, the 3 of you could probably rail 2 towers in a day, split 3 ways, could walk away with $2100 total, or $700 each

Use the link below to submit your information if your interested in building these mini-radio towers for us.

Fight To Get Tower Climbers Declared As First Responders

#firstresponders #Lineman #police #firefighter #EMS #towerclimber #towerclimbing
We firmly believe the first responder logo should look more like this, and not only include lineman who just got their designation to be first responders last year. It's time to include tower climbers as none of the other 4 would be able to communicate and do their jobs without tower climbers. #facts
Please, please, please folks, everyone comment if you agree, like the post, and share with everyone you know. I couldn't find this logo anywhere so I decided to create it. Please spread it around!

HFT Social Media Presence Revamp

The Restoration And Learning Process

As lot of our current subscribers know, early on, as a company we did not really use social media in the way we should have so some time ago we pretty much shut everything down.  With many lessons learned both with careful management and the how to's of why and what to do with it we have spent the last few weeks as some of our subscriber may already know re-vamping our online social media presence.  From starting a YouTube Channel to creating a Patreon.  Hyper Fusion is constantly forging the way with new and interesting ways to deliver only the best to our subscribers and our fellow community members in the areas in which we provide service.

Social Media Profiles

We have for the most part gotten all the social media profiles we feel apply to what we're doing all set up and populated with the basic information required and enough in there to let folks know its us.  To start, the sites we're focusing on are;

  • YouTube
  • Patreon
  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • LinkedIn
  • Nextdoor
  • Google

You can get the links to all our previously existing and new social media profiles by checking out the "Support Us" page and CLICKING HERE.

HFT Co-Founders, Chris, Will, and Andrea

Benefits of Engaging

The biggest piece we're going to be launching along with this social media revamp is our patreon.  Kinda basically is a monthly membership platform.  We're offering it as a way to encourage folks to engage more and really help "Fuse the Community" along with us.  Some of the perks and benefits of getting a membership with our patreon will include, but are not limited to;

Active HFT Subscribers

  • Free Onsite Repairs
  • Free Onsite Wi-Fi/Network Optimizations
  • Priority Support
  • Priority Storm Repair
  • Access to Exclusive Content
  • Free Raffle Tickets for the Hyper Fusion Annual Subscriber Care Birthday Bash

Non-HFT Subscribers

  • Exclusive 1-on-1 remote technical support ( for most items, not Apple related, we just don't have an Apple person on staff right now )
  • Hyper Fusion Promotional Merchandise
  • Access to behind the scenes videos of what exactly it is we do here at Hyper Fusion.
  • Shout Outs during live streams
  • Discounts if you do end up becoming a Hyper Fusion internet suscriber

The Hyper Fusion Network

What is the Hyper Fusion Network?  - Put most simply, its the beginning of our all our broadcasting platform.   There are several things we're planning for this but to start, it will just consist of our streaming platform, how-to videos, Fuse The Community Initiative, the Fusion Business Network, and HFT Maps.  For this re-vamp launch though we will have the following new things available for both subscribers and some things for non-subscribers and the community in general!

  • Friday Night Streams - Every Friday night from 7PM-10PM CST Chris, our Chief Technology Officer conducts a live interactive question and answer stream and takes all manner of technology and internet related questions and will help answer them for you.  To learn more about the Friday Night Streams, CLICK HERE.
  • Wednesday Night Update - Every Wednesday from 5pm-6pm CST We will be doing a weather forecast for the upcoming week along with any planned network maintenance or issues with our network, delivery, fiber network, and/or servers.
  • Local Shoutouts - Subscribers who own business will enjoy completely free promotion of their business across the Hyper Fusion Network.  Non-Subscribers who own local business will also 100% have Local Shoutouts done for the, although for a very small fee.  It takes lots of power to edit videos and do these streams as we've learned.  To check out some of our very first Local Shout Outs, CLICK HERE.
  • Fuse the Community - Fuse the Community is an initiative that Andrea has spent months working on and we are now realizing.  For reasons that we're not going to go into the attempts from several residents and the County as a whole to get state funding for more fiber has failed.  This is what Hyper Fusion is doing about that.  to learn more about our Fuse the Community Initiative, CLICK HERE.
  • New Perks for Existing Subscribers - Several new perks are coming for existing subscribers.  Including but not limited to; most basic wireless circuits being unthrottled to run up to 100 Mbps x 100 Mbps during non-peak/non-load times with ZERO change in rate/bill/invoice, exclusive onsite service/support perks, zoom/video call how-to support for other home gadgets instead of just your router, and much much more.
  • Fusion Business Network - This will kinda wrap up all our services that help out small local businesses into great products and services including but not limited to;  airtime on our streams for your businesses
    advertisement, a listing in our HFT Maps local business directory, VoIP telephone service/setup/management,  promotional materials production, network management, heavier preference toward advertising your business over Local Shoutouts, including banner ads on all the "on-break/stand-by screens when on breaks", and so much more planned.   Another service we can do right now is all manner of filming for a business whether for a commercial advertisement, personal record, or what ever the reason we can handle it.  We have several drones, 4K compact but pro-advanced video cameras, still cameras, green screen backgrounds, colored backgrounds, umbrella lights, and a very powerful workstation with advanced digital editing and production software.  So be sure to ask about it.

We’re Officially a WISPA Member

What is WISPA?  The short answer, it stands for Wireless Internet Service Providers Association.   All first responders and industries for the most part have associations that they belong to in order to improve what ever it is they are doing.  In our case, internet service providing.  According to the WISPA.org website, they list this under their "About" section;

WISPA - Broadband Without Boundaries represents the interests of the evolving wireless Internet service provider (WISP) ecosystem: small innovative entrepreneurs who provide fixed wireless, fiber and other connectivity solutions to consumers, businesses, first responders and community anchor institutions. WISPs bring critical Internet access to millions of Americans in unserved and underserved rural, suburban, urban and Tribal areas of the country, offering reliable, cost-effective and innovative service options where they did not previously exist.

Joining WISPA will keep all Hyper Fusion Co-Founders, Managers, and Staff aware of all the latest technology, processes, and regulatory changes going on in the wireless world in order to solidify our position as one of the best internet providers in The Greater Highland Lakes area.  We are constantly looking for new ways to make our service and support nothing short of THE TOP INTERNET PROVIDER ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS!

Moving forward Hyper Fusion is taking a STRONG stance in supporting the communities we serve thru our FUSE THE COMMUNITY INITIATIVE ( click here for more information ) and our mission to bring HIGHSPEED broadband data service to under served communities, groups, and geographic locations all over The Great State of Texas.  We are in the process of finishing off what's needed to complete our fancy "booth" setup for events like the ones listed below.  We are going to take a strong commitment to attending as many public/commissioners court meetings as we can in the communities we serve in order to support residents in getting local municipalities to help out in their drive for better, more reasonably priced internet/data services.  Some of the types of events will be attending with our "booth" in the 2023 year are;

  • WISPAMERICA 2023 ( Louisville, KY ) ( March 6-9 )
  • The Blue Bonnet Festival ( Burnet, TX )  ( April 7-9 )
  • Mayfest Carnival 2023 ( Marble Falls, TX ( May 4-7 )
  • Burnet County Fair 2023 ( Burnet, TX ) ( June 9-10 )
  • WISPApaloza 2023 ( Location TBA ) ( 1st week of Oct )

More events will be announced later on!

Unmatched Rural Internet Speeds

CLICK TO ENLARGE

The screenshot at the right ( click on it to blow it up ) is from a real subscriber and the screenshot grabbed out of our REAL TIME 24/7 chat tech support.  Had her run a speed test.  She is on the 100 x 25 Mbps plan, and as you can see, she's pulling 686 x 564 down.  WELL over advertised speeds.  NO other provider in our service area is able to hit speeds like this and keep it stable.  Our BBB rating of 4.6 starts out of 5 and our A+ rating speaks for itself.  Still want more proof though?  We've won the Locals Love US vote for "Best Internet Provider" in Burnet for the last 3 years running.  There is just no substitute.  If you live in Central Texas,

Alot of folks just do not know we offer fiber not only in almost every town in Burnet County and Bell County, but also that ALL of our basic value fixed point wireless plans run up to 100 Mbps download and 100 Mbps starting at only $55!!  Don't be tricked by the big box providers tricking folks with "promotional rates only for a few months" having to rent gear, NOT TRULY BEING UNLIMITED!  EVERY OTHER WIRELESS PROVIDER SAYS RIGHT IN THEIR TERMS OF SERVICE THAT THEY WILL THROTTLE SPEED IF NETWORK CONDITIONS ARE POOR!

 

Fully BBB Accredited Business

Happy 2023 Everyone!

2022 Is Gone and Passed

And as we open 2023, we want to be thankful for all that 2022 has blessed us with. We upgraded our Network, rolled out our NEW GEN 6 wireless gigabit service. We have also continued with expanding our fiber to the home and business. We've built new partnerships and new repeater sites. Hyper Fusion is now officially BBB accredited.

Hyper Fusion is also happy to annouce we have no lowered our standard circuit activation by more than FIFTY DOLLARS!!! Hyper Fusion is committed to serving the subscriber, and not over charging just because we can.

Basic Value Fixed Point Wireless MASSIVE Upgrade

We are officially changing up the way we do our service plans. As we have proven to be the trend setters in Central Texas, and specifically the Greater Highland Lakes area, we are doing it again.

One of the biggest things Hyper Fusion has over the competition is backing up what we advertise with actual speeds provided. Therefore, Hyper Fusion will ring in the New Year by upgrading EVERY "Basic Value" fixed point wireless plan to run "Up to" 100 Mbps Down and 50 Mbps up during low network / off peak hours at no extra charge. You do not have to do anything to receive this FREE UPGRADE in 2023!!!  All the other providers advertise "up to speeds", except ours are MUCH faster.  And what you pay for is your plan speed minimums.

NO LONG TERM CONTRACT REQUIRED, although contracts are available for a discount on your service, please call or inquire at support@hyperfusiontech.com with CONTRACT DISCOUNT in the subject line.

Here is to another great year with Hyper Fusion, the fastest rural internet provider in Texas!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

We Are Officially BBB Accreddited!

That’s right folks, today we earned our BBB Accredidation and A rating.  We also hold 4.5 stars out of 5 review rating on the BBB.  Clearly, a marked improvement considering we started at an F rating due to the massive influx of new subscribers and only having limited staff to attend to them.  Most folks don’t realize but the new sign up rate really has not yielded at all since we started.  We’ve just gotten much better at processing and handling a large amount of subscribers.  Where others are now out of business completely and some getting their BBB accreditation revoked, we are getting ours, getting stronger, better, obtaining more and more subscribers from incumbant WISP’s and getting folks on the new pure digital rural internet we call Hyper Fusion. =)

Now Hiring Installers

Now Hiring!

We are now hiring for internet installers.  No experience?  No problem, we’ll give you paid training.  If you’ve successfully pointed and locked  a DirecTV or DISH Network satellite before, it’s pretty much just the same.

How much do we pay?

We pay WAYYY more than any other Fixed Point Wireless company out there.  An average installer with no experience just starting out,  should be able to plug 10 circuit per week once training is complete.  1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon.  With that in mind, most average installers clear $900 to $1100 just starting out because we pay by job.   We pay extremely well, because as a well trained engineer, you are in charge of your own schedule and how many jobs you complete during the week, with a minimum requirement of 10 jobs a week.

How do I apply?

Quite simple really, just CLICK HERE .  Right at the top of the page there is a link to get to the online application which only takes a couple minutes to fill out.  Once submitted, if we like your application we’ll call you in for  an interview at our office and then 1 to 3 “audition jobs” where we determine if the job is right for you.  We pay $50 cash money for each audition install.  Every installer is required to have a reliable vehicle big enough to haul around ladders and other equipment/tools necessary to do the job. A full list of tools will be provided to you during the interview that you will be responsibile for having on you at all times when working.

Need a Math Tutor?

So, its part of our mission, not only to provide the best and most reasonably cost internet, but we also promote local freelancers and have a BIG dedication to education.  It is our mission to “fuse” our community together as well thru things just like this.

One of our subscribers, Angie Price is a mathematics tutor with over 34 years experience she says and she is now helping students grade 6 – 12 with their math.  We have her listed in our freelancers sections of our website, but you can call or text her at 512-920-2824 if your interested in hiring her.
