Notes |
| Payment / Service Terms |
All prices exclude VAT which will be added to the invoice.
Services are paid for quarterly in advance.
Detailed Terms are avilable from Here. |
| Setup Fee |
There is only a single setup fee. If you upgrade to a higher bandwdith Enterprise Service, there is no additional setup fee to upgrade. |
| Minimum Bandwidth |
You will have full access to the shared community network, usually running at 5Mbps.
In addition, we will guarantee a minimum bandwidth on the Internet connection for you, so that you get AT LEAST that bandwidth at all times, even during peak hours.
Compared to a leased line, you get the benefit with our service of being able to use the maximum bandwidth available to the Internet, so if a 2Mbps line is installed to the community, you may get up to 2Mbps, with a minimum of the bandwidth guaranteed as per the service chosen. |
| Minimum Term |
There is a minimum commitment period of 12 months. |
| Upgrading |
You may upgrade at any time by notifying us in writing.
If you exceed the minimum guaranteed bandwidth on average during two consequtive calendar months, you will be automatically upgraded to the next level. |
| Service Provision |
Your service will be provided over either the wireless network backbone, or using a baseband circuit to the nearest Node, depending on distance from the nearest exchange and the network design issues.
If we provide a baseband circuit into your site, we may ask you to be a node in the network, and provide wireless access to others in the area. |
| Router Included |
The router will encrypt all traffic from your site back to the hub, ensuring absolute privacy of all your traffic over any wireless sections of the network.
We will actively monitor the link to ensure reliability and raise an alarm in the event of any failure so that we can quickly respond to problems. |
| Contention |
Access to the shared community network will be contended, but the minimum guaranteed bandwidth to the Internet will be uncontended, and any usage over the minimum will also be contended at no worse that 50:1. |
| Community User Group |
For each Enterprise order, we will make a contribution of £15 pre month to the Community User Group
By purchasing this Service, your company can become a member of the User Group, and will have a say in how the money available to the group is used. |
