Remote computer repair has been changing almost as fast as the seasons over the past few years. When the technology first emerged several years ago, you paid by the hour. Your final cost would depend on how many hours the tech had to spend in your system in order to repair the problem. Soon after that, the flat rate pricing format began to take shape. With this platform, which is still in use today, you paid one flat fee for a repair regardless of how long the repair might take. This has been a very popular choice for many years and is still used by many.
