About OnRamp Access

 

Austin's Own Business ISP (and web designer) Since 1994.

We’re another one of those Austin, Texas success stories that began in a student’s living quarters at the University of Texas. The idea was to reliably connect people to the Internet at a time when the term information superhighway was actually cool (1994).

Ten years, thousands of Internet access customers, hundreds of professionally designed websites and 9,000 square feet of co-location space later, OnRamp Access is still the only technology company in Austin and Central Texas to provide a single source for all of these services.

Self-supported, stable and profitable throughout our history, we have steadily grown in staff, resources, offerings and customer base by following a conservative growth strategy. This includes maintaining our original and private ownership, abiding by our make-a-dollar-spend-a-dollar philosophy and limiting our major investments to those in our network resources and assets. We have certainly skinned our knees a time or two experimenting on new ideas, but have largely stayed the course of excelling at our core competencies.

Guided by our co-founder and President, Chad Kissinger, we also provide a strong voice in forging the growth and vision of the ISP and telecommunications industries. Including stints as both president and legislative chair for the Texas ISP Association, Chad continues to be a highly recognized expert in these areas, testifying regularly at both the state and federal legislative levels.

With that said, we pride ourselves in offering the assurance to our customers that “you’re always just a phone call away from our president.” But be warned … if your question involves the Telecommunications Act of 1996, predatory pricing or questionable monopolization tactics of regional phone companies, you could be in for an entertaining afternoon of colorful commentary.
