I am having a problem after hours, what do I do?
CTC has a technician on-call 24/7. If you experience a problem with one of our services after hours, please call (620) 429-3132 and leave a message. The on-call technician will return your call as soon as possible. CTC respectfully asks that customers refrain from calling employees homes after hours to report trouble.
What is your disconnect policy?
All CTC bills are due on the 10th of the month. This date never changes. After the 10th, your payment becomes delinquent and a late fee will be assessed to your account. CTC typically allows 1-2 days of grace after the 10th. If you have questions regarding your payment or would like to make payment arrangements, please contact us.
