Dynamicbroadband
- Fair usage policy
Dynamicbroadbands's policy towards Fair Usage is that
Customers should be able to use the service in an appropriate
manner to meet their needs.
A very small number of customers use an excessive amount
of the network bandwidth at peak times, to the extent
that it can impair the performance of others. Dynamicbroadband's
Fair Usage Policy is designed to provide the most effective
service to all Customers.
The fair usage policy will identify the very small number
of very heavy users. We will communicate with these
users to try and establish what is driving the high
usage and how individual usage patterns and habits can
be modified to the benefit of all. In extreme cases,
Dynamicbroadband may be required to apply management
techniques to reduce the impact the heavy users have
of the service performance of others.
What
Level of usage is allowed?
Only customers downloading well in excess of 5GB a month
are likely to be impacted by the Fair Usage Policy.
This is the equivalent of downloading more than five
movies a month, or watching streaming content for more
than 3 hours every week
The Fair Usage Policy will adversely impact less than
0.5% of the users on the network.
How
do I know
if I am likely to be affected by the Fair Usage Policy?
If you don't use Peer to Peer file sharing software
or stream video or radio for extended periods, it is unlikely
you will ever be affected by this Fair Usage Policy.
If you do use these applications, all we ask is that
you use these applications considerately and send and
receive large files outside of peak hours.
What
happens if you are affected by the Fair Usage Policy?
If you are affected, we will contact you by email to
let you know that your usage at peak hours is excessive
and is affecting other customers. The email will be
sent to both your contact email address and will contain
simple advice on how to reduce your usage. If your usage
is still excessive, we will contact you again to ask
you to reduce your usage during peak hours. If your
usage still remains excessively high, we will contact
you a third time to advise you that we will be reducing
your capability to consume bandwidth.
Traffic Management
Broadband services are based on the principle that many
users share the same network resources. From time to
time, there is a chance that the demand for the available
bandwidth will exceed the capacity of the network. At
Dynamicbroadband we have opted to deploy mechanisms
that aim to create a level playing field, ensuring a
fair and quality service for every customer.
The task of delivering equitable bandwidth for data,
video and voice traffic carried over our network is
called traffic management. It is the mechanism by which
different types of traffic are recognized and handled
to best effect for the overall performance of the network.
The network traffic generated by customers is identified
according to its application type. Some types of traffic
are more sensitive to delay and packet discard than
others. The traffic management system will look to provide
the optimum performance for the benefit of the majority
of users and applications.
There is no time based application of the traffic management
policies because congestion could potentially occur
at any time. The policies are amended to changing conditions
and optimized regularly. Our typical peak times however
are between 6pm and 10pm weekdays and weekend afternoons.
The general principles we adopt are as follows:
All traffic is identified by application, and assigned
to a class.
Prioritisation of traffic is given according to the
class of service.
No ports or protocols are blocked.
Dynamicbroadband operates no time of day criteria for
traffic management.
The negative results of traffic management are that
some users may experience reduced throughput rates,
for some applications, during heavily congested times.
This is especially likely for Peer to Peer (P2P) and
News Group applications.
P2P applications are those used for downloading, typically
very large files such as movies, over extended periods.
If left unchecked, P2P can be responsible for consuming
over 70% of the available bandwidth, despite being used
by a fraction of the user base. Peer to Peer applications
are generally given low priority and are not guaranteed
to function Peer to Peer applications include, but are
not limited, to the following:
Bittorrent
Gnutella
eDonkey/eMule
Kontiki
News Groups are applications used for discussing topics
or more often the sharing of large data files. Like
P2P applications, Newsgroups are considered as non-time
sensitive traffic. As such the traffic is given a lower
priority compared to other types of traffic.
