Throttled Throughput (Fair Access Policy - FAP) | Service Plan Upgrades

MaxIR – Maximum Information Rate, the maximum speed at which data can be received or transmitted.
CIR – Committed Information Rate, the speed at which we guarantee data can be received or transmitted. We guarantee you will receive 110% of your CIR at least 90% of the time, if not more.
Throughput Allowance – This is the total amount of data that can be transferred up and/or down in a given billing cycle (30 days) before the metered usage charge is assessed. All Disaster Response plans are billed as Option 1.
Option 1 – The "unlimited" plan permits you to pay for excess throughput. With this option, you will be billed according to your service plan for any throughput in excess of the plan allowance.
Note – Both Platinum III & Gold III can be configured as Option 1 or Option 2
Note – Platinum III Service Plan will be optimized for VoIP (1 slot every frame while idle)
Note – Gold III Service Plans will receive 1 slot every 4th frame while idle.
IP Addressing – All plans include 1 publicly routable static IP address. Blocks of 5 or 13 are available. Block of 5 is $30.00. Block of 13 is $60.00. Up to 256 are available if needed at an additional charge. If you need more than 5 IP addresses, your request must be justified in writing to meet ARIN requirements.
