Excessive Bandwidth Usage. In order for TheGEO.net to provide to ALL of its Users a consistent, reliable, fast Internet service, any User which TheGEO.net determines is or has been utilizing excessive bandwidth, regardless of content, may be subject to a temporary regulating of total bandwidth use. It is at the sole discretion of TheGEO.net in determining how much usage constitutes excessive use and for how long it will be regulated. If after implementing regulation of bandwidth, the high usage continues, TheGEO.net will notify the customer to A) Make sure the User is aware of what is happening to and from the Users connection and B) Politely ask that the User take the necessary steps to control total usage and leave some room for the other TheGEO.net Users to enjoy the same level of service they are all paying for. An example might be a constant maximum bandwidth demand from a single user for an extended period of time. An extended period of time might typically be considered excessive when it is at maximum demand for more than about 8 hours. The intent of this policy does not limit or block any content and is specifically for allowing ALL Users to enjoy consistent reliable service.
