Ricochet started in the mid 1990s as the first company to provide truly ubiquitous wireless Internet access to select cities throughout the United States.

Ricochet provides unlimited, mobile wireless Internet access throughout most of San Diego County at speeds up to six times faster than dial-up service.

Service through Ricochet is just $19.95 a month, with the first month of service free for wireless Internet access with a free Ricochet modem, after rebate. Wireless Internet access plus e-mail access and nationwide dial-up access costs $22.95 per month, with the first month of service free. The company also offers a seven-day limited money-back guarantee, and there are no activation fees or per-minute charges.

Wireless Internet allows users to move within a given coverage area, no matter where they are – room to room, house to house, home to office or across the city. No phone, DSL or cable connection is required, and there is no need to schedule an installer. Service can be activated by the user online within minutes of opening the box. Since Ricochet is a wireless connection, it doesn’t tie up the phone line.

Ricochet works with both Windows and Mac operating systems and with desktop or laptop computers.

Local distributor Jack Day added the Ricochet suite of products to the Postal Place early in 2005, and has quickly become one of Ricochet’s top resellers. Day has a BS from Central Washington University and currently resides in the Fairmount Park area of San Diego.

He has been involved with the gay bowling leagues since he arrived in San Diego, is a current member of the GSDBA and was facilitator for the Wednesday morning BNG at the Lumber Jack Grille.
