Notes:
Customers can 'burst' over their
contracted download speed for a limited duration where there is capacity available.
This ensures web pages etc load quickly, but a sustained download will cause
the speed to drop back to the package's normal download speed. This
'burst' feature is not available on the Bronze and Brass packages.
Overusage on Bronze and Brass packages. Where your usage approaches the
package limit in any
calendar month, we will email
you with a warning. As this product is designed to be a low cost service,
at the limit we will stop your internet to prevent you
incurring any excess usage charges. You can either wait for the 1st of the
next month or you can purchase a 'Booster' for another 10GB for a charge of
£10. This is not carried over to the next month.
* Unlimited usage is subject to our Fair Use Policy

How do we supply your internet service?
We provide a discrete wireless access point (which remains our property) which we mount externally on your house. The mast itself and fixings become your property once installed. We recommend that we do the installation for you using a professional aerial installer. In some situations it may be appropriate for us to provide instructions and guidance for a self-install option. This is subject to survey.
Fair Use Policy
We don't apply metered download limits as a basis for charging on our 'Unlimited' tariffs. We would still ask that you are considerate with your usage. i.e.
we would strongly encourage you to run torrents and backups overnight where possible, and do not leave
your machines streaming and downloading if you don't need it, in the same way that you don't leave a tap running when you are not needing
water.
In the unlikely event that we see a disproportionate amount of use by specific customers
on our 'Unlimited' packages, which causes detriment to other users, we may contact you to discuss options. These may include suggestions on how to reduce usage at peak times, requests for you to do certain
downloads out of peak hours, or it may involve an element of traffic throttling at certain times. It will NOT involve applying 'unplanned' excess usage charges.
