ISP Policy

Version 1.01, release on August 13, 2024

General Policy Statement:

The following policies apply to mass market broadband Internet services offered by WiFiXpress. Customers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the following policies which are deemed part of their Service Agreement. By using WiFiXpress’s Internet service, customer accepts and agrees to be bound by these policies. In doing so, customer further agrees that customer is solely responsible for compliance with these terms by third parties, such as friends and family members, who may use customer’s service, with or without permission, to access the broadband network.

WiFiXpress’s policy is to provide reliable access to the Internet for all its customers in a manner that does not unduly discriminate. As used in this document, customer refers to (i.e., mass market).

WiFiXpress does not block access to, nor discriminate against, any lawful website or Internet application and, with respect to broadband Internet access services, supports the ability of users to select and attach the equipment of their choice to the network so long as that equipment: (i) is used for a lawful purpose consistent with WiFiXpress’s Acceptable Use Policy; and (ii) does not harm the network or degrade network performance for other users.

I. NETWORK SERVICES AND SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

WiFiXpress provides services via wireless technology. While some broadband services may be less suitable than others for specific applications, WiFiXpress’s services are generally capable of supporting Voice over IP (VoIP), web surfing, and most streaming video applications.

WiFiXpress manages its network to minimize or avoid blockage and congestion, which may slow down actual speeds experienced by customers particularly at peak periods in which network utilization is highest. In the event of network congestion, WiFiXpress does not prioritize performance within mass market services based on either tier of service purchased or volume of data.

WiFiXpress provisions its customers’ connection and engineers its network to ensure that its customers can enjoy the speeds to which they subscribe. However, WiFiXpress does not guarantee that a customer will actually achieve those speeds at all times. WiFiXpress advertises its speeds as ‘up to’ a specific level based on the tier of service to which a customer subscribes.

The actual speed that a customer will experience while using the Internet depends upon a variety of conditions, many of which are beyond the control of WiFiXpress. These conditions include but are not limited to i) performance of a customer’s broadband device, including its age, processing capability, its operating system, the number of applications running simultaneously, and the presence of any adware and viruses; ii) type of connection between a customer’s computer and modem. For example, wireless.

As of August 1, 2024, WiFiXpress network monitoring reports show utilization below 100% at peak periods indicating that its network consistently provides speeds as expected by customers with little or no degradation in service. These results were effective as of the dates / times indicated and may be updated from time to time at WiFiXpress’s discretion. i) Congestion or high usage levels at the website or destination; and ii) gating of speeds or access by the website or destination deployed by the site owners to manage traffic or performance.

There are publically available speed tests that measure Internet performance. All speed tests have biases and flaws and each of these tests measures limited aspects of an ISP’s speed and therefore must be seen as a guide rather than definitive measurements of performance.

II. NETWORK MANAGEMENT

WiFiXpress utilizes a redundant network architecture that is designed to meet users demand at peak periods. WiFiXpress deploys technical measures to provide acceptable service levels to all customers, such as application-neutral bandwidth allocation, as well as measures to address service attacks, illegal content, and other harmful activities as necessary to protect network integrity and reliability. In doing so, we follow standard best efforts for Internet delivery with respect to allocation of capacity without differentiation among applications, providers, or sources. As described further in our Acceptable Use Policy, in WiFiXpress reserves the right to prioritize traffic applications during heavy congestion periods based on accepted technical measures that do not unduly discriminate based on site nature or content.

WiFiXpress utilizes standard industry practices for safeguarding children, intellectual property rights and customers’ privacy and security. WiFiXpress complies with applicable laws and regulations, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, which requires the consent of a parent or guardian for the collection of personally identifiable information from children under 13 as well as the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitations Act, a portion of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act that allows Internet service providers to remove or disconnect customer access to copyright infringing material.
