The Vision Systems network is designed for typical usage by a computer user seated at his or her keyboard. Computer activity resulting in excessive or sustained bandwidth consumption such as from unattended computer activity may burden the network and such usage may be restricted. It is therefore essential that you comply with the current bandwidth, data throughput, file storage and other limitations on the Services.

Users must ensure their activity does not improperly restrict, inhibit, or degrade any other user's use of the Services, nor represent (in the sole judgment of Vision Systems.) an unusually large burden on the network itself. In addition, users must ensure that their activity does not improperly restrict, inhibit, disrupt, degrade or impede Vision Systems ability to deliver the Services and monitor the Services, backbone, network nodes, and/or other network services. Vision Systems provisions all customers with at least Standard Speeds or higher. Nearly all customers will experience Extended Speeds and remain provisioned at that level. Customers who exceed threshold limits remain at Standard speeds as specified during the sample period. For example: A "Residential" customer getting extended speeds who consumes 600 MB during a one hour period will automatically change provisioning to Standard Speeds for a period of at least two hours or until measured consumption drops below threshold. Vision Systems may, without notice, modify the speed, interrupt, or prohibit such data traffic.

In addition, users must ensure that their activity does not improperly restrict, inhibit, disrupt, degrade or impede Vision Systems ability to deliver the Services and monitor the Services, backbone, network nodes, and/or other network services. Vision Systems residential or commercial customers may not resell, share, or otherwise distribute the Services or any portion thereof to any third party without the prior written consent of Vision Systems. For example, you cannot provide Internet access to others through a dial up connection, host shell accounts over the Internet, provide email or news service, send a news feed or redistribute Vision Systems Internet service via wireless network.

Vision Systems service offering is a consumer product designed for your personal use of the Internet. For example, the service does not provide the type of security, upstream performance and total downstream throughput capability typically associated with commercial use. You may not run a server in connection with Vision Systems residential service, nor may you provide network services to others via Vision Systems residential service. Examples of prohibited uses include, but are not limited to, running servers for mail (pop3 & smtp), http, https, ftp, irc, dhcp and multi-user interactive forums.

The posting, transmission, re-transmission, or storing material on or through the Vision Systems network that is in violation of any local, state, or federal, law or regulation (including rights protected by copyright, trade secret, patent or other intellectual property) is strictly prohibited. Specifically; the use of file-sharing or peer-to-peer applications to download, or distribute unauthorised content such as movies, music, books or software is strictly forbidden, and will result in immediate account suspension.
