What is the Fair Usage policy?
We have designed a Fair Usage Policy (“the Policy”) to ensure that all of our customers get the best network experience. Sometimes, a very small number of customers use lots of bandwidth to send and receive large files and do long periods of streaming which affects the experience for other users. Our Fair Usage Policy is an acceptable way for us to manage the use of our network in order to allow everyone fair consumption of the service.
What happens if I meet the Fair Usage limit?
Under the Policy we have defined fair usage levels for usage of our LTE Home service. These limits are set well above normal usage. In this way, most customers will not be affected by the Fair Usage Policy. On reaching the fair usage limit for the day, you might notice that your online experience might be slower than normal for the remainder of the day until it resets the following day.
