BANDWIDTH CONSUMPTION:

CresCommWiFi reserves the right to determine what constitutes excessive usage. Downloads are at burst rate for first 100-300 seconds depending on plan. (Burst is dependent upon network conditions and other factors and is NOT guaranteed.) Residential subscribers may not run any type of server, including, but not limited to, DNS servers, mail servers, ftp servers, game servers or P2P servers. Business subscribers may run servers based on the pricing plan they have selected and the number of IP addresses they are paying for. We do not support reseller accounts.
FAIR USE POLICY:
To maintain the superior quality and performance of CresCommWiFi networks and ensure the highest level of service performance for all users – which could be disrupted by the usage patterns of a small number of customers – CresCommWiFi has established data usage thresholds under the Fair Use Policy for all “unlimited download” Internet service plans. When overall Data Usage exceeds 1,000 Gigs/month in two continuous billing cycles this will be considered a violation of this Fair Use Policy.
