CIR – The CIR connection speed is the speed in which we commit data can be transferred. Several variables can affect your connection speed such as: number of concurrent connections on your LAN, QoS priorities, and overall network congestion. You can expect the ability to receive at least 110% of the stated CIR speeds at least 90% of the time, if not more!
Maximum Speed – The Up-to Speed is the maximum connection speed potential at any given time, which is also affected by the same variables listed above.
Throughput Allowance – This is the total amount of data that can be transferred up and/or down in a given billing cycle (30 days). Please make sure to review our Fair Access Policy (FAP). There are two options for You to choose from regarding your Throughput Allowance:
Option 1 – If you may need additional throughput some months you may purchase an "unlimited" plan. With this option you will be billed according to your service plan for any throughput in excess of the plan allowance.
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.
