1. SmartHub Online Payment Portal

The most direct way to pay your Plateau fiber bill is through their SmartHub payment portal

• Visit plateautel.smarthub.coop/Login.html
• Log in with your account credentials
• Follow the prompts to make your payment

This portal allows you to manage your account, view bills, and set up automatic payments. It’s the official platform provided by Plateau for bill management.

2. Doxo Bill Payment Service

Plateau bills can also be paid through doxo, a third-party bill payment service:

• Visit doxo.com
• Search for Plateau (or E.N.M.R. Telephone Cooperative)
• Make your payment using various methods:
  • Linked bank account (free)
  • Credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover)
  • Debit cards
  • Apple Pay

Important note: Doxo is not affiliated with Plateau, but they do process payments for all Plateau services. Fees may apply for payment methods other than linked bank accounts.

3. Direct Website Payment

You can pay directly through Plateau’s website:

Setting Up Automatic Payments

I personally recommend setting up automatic payments to avoid late fees or service interruptions. Here’s how:

1. Log into your SmartHub account at plateautel.smarthub.coop
2. Navigate to the billing section
3. Look for “Auto Pay” or “Recurring Payments” option
4. Set up your preferred payment method
5. Choose the date you want the payment to process each month
6. Confirm your selection

With autopay, your bill gets paid on time every month without you having to remember to do it manually.
