FULL DISCLOSURE

The FCC requires all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to post a “Transparency Statement” about Broadband Internet, and our policies and practices. The full statement is available at the bottom of the page. 

Here’s a summary:

OUR GOAL

To deliver the best possible broadband internet access service to all of our customers.

WE TREAT ALL CONTENT EQUALLY

We do not directly or indirectly favor some traffic over other traffic, We do not discriminate against, or block lawful internet content. We do not degrade (throttle speed) or impair access to lawful internet traffic.

SPEEDS CAN VARY

While we make every effort to provide the speed you signed up for, your actual speed will vary due to factors beyond our control. Major factors include;

Your home set-up:

  • Performance of internet-connected devices, e.g. computers, smartphones, tablets, etc. Issues may arise from both the hardware and software

  • Type of connection between your computer and our network interface

  • The performance of the router you have installed, and/or your home network design  (See Home Networks)

Your total internet load:

  • The number of applications running simultaneously, and the presence of any adware and viruses

  • The applications you use, including unseen background applications

The websites you visit:

  • Congestion or high usage at the content provider’s website

  • Gating of speeds or access by the website. (To control traffic or performance, many content providers limit the speeds at which a visitor can download from their site. Those speed limitations will carry through to a customer’s connection.)

On our end, although we try to provision our network to meet customer demand, occasionally speeds will be slower during peak usage hours.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

Internet technologies continue to evolve, and we look forward to delivering a service with even greater performance and reliability.
