BTWI Usage Agreement
The Federal Communications Commission’s Internet Freedom transparency rule, 47 CFR § 8.1, requires an Internet service provider, or ISP, to publicly disclose information about its network management practices, performance characteristics, and commercial terms of its Internet access services. This document is meant to disclose the general practices of BTWI (Bits of Technology Wireless Internet, Bits of Technology LLC) in conjunction with residential and commercial fixed wireless internet services. This document is to be viewed in conjunction with BTWI’s “Usage Agreement for Wireless Internet”.
Blocking: BTWI does not practice blocking, outside of reasonable network management, any traffic that prevents end users access to lawful content, applications, service, or non-harmful devices.
Throttling: BTWI does not practice throttling, other than reasonable network management as described in BTWI’s user agreement, that degrades or impairs access to lawful internet traffic on the basis of content, application, service, user, or use of a non-harmful device.
Affiliated Prioritization: BTWI does not practice prioritization that directly or indirectly favors some traffic over other traffic, including through the use of techniques such as traffic shaping, prioritization, or resource reservation, to benefit an affiliate, including identification of the affiliate.
Paid Prioritization: BTWI does not practice prioritization that directly or indirectly favors some traffic over other traffic, including through the use of techniques such as traffic shaping, prioritization, or resource reservation, in exchange for consideration, monetary or otherwise.
Congestion Management: BTWI uses Preseem traffic management to control congestion within the network. Preseem's traffic management is application and protocol agnostic. It functions by carefully managing the packets sent to the subscriber on a flow (layer 4) basis within the subscriber's allocated (plan) bandwidth to achieve a good quality of experience. , Preseem will manage the bandwidth assigned to the access point in the same application and protocol agnostic way as the subscriber plan bandwidth. AP shaping is typically used to manage AP level network congestion and to ensure fairness among the subscriber's sharing the congested AP's bandwidth.
Application-Specific Behavior: BTWI does not block or rate control specific protocols or protocol ports, modify protocol fields in ways not prescribed by protocol standards, or otherwise inhibits or favor certain applications or classes of applications.
Device Attachment Rules: BTWI does not restrict any types of devices or have any approval procedures for legal devices that connects to BTWI’s network.
Security: BTWI uses industry standard tools and best practices and policies to protect our customers and our network from malicious and unwanted Internet traffic such as preventing the distribution of viruses or other harmful code and preventing the delivery of DDOS attacks to the network. In general, these security practices should not have any effect on our subscribers’ use of their network connections. In the instances where these tools and policies identify on-line content as harmful or unwanted a mechanism may be invoked to block harmful IP's at the edge of the network. BTWI may also block certain ports for internal network use only to ensure security.
Service Description: BTWI offers fixed wireless internet service. This service is dependent of line of sight from customers to access points. Fixed wireless performance can be impacted by heavy subscriber use and open line of sight. Customer bandwidth shall be limited to a maximum rate to be specified on your application of service. Actual speeds may vary, but the Committed Information Rate is guaranteed to be a minimum of 50% of you contracted sustained rate. BTWI has built its fixed wireless network to overcome and avoid disruptions in service performance to the end users. However, to ensure a quality experience for end users BTWI uses various network management tools.
Impact of Non-Broadband Internet Access Service Data Services: BTWI customers receiving both internet and voice services should not expect to experience any performance issues on broadband internet access. BTWI uses QoS protocol through Preseem that shapes the Internet traffic giving priority to specific types of traffic such as voice, video, etc. preventing performance issues that affect last mile capacity from Non-broadband data services.
