Usage – Internet Access |
1. | Does P1 block P2P applications or traffic? |
| P1 does not block any peer to peer (P2P) or file sharing applications. |
|
2. | Does P1 implement a fair usage policy? |
| In order to ensure the broadband experience for the majority of P1's customers is fast, reliable and of high quality, P1 implements a Fair Usage Policy to manage users who use the service excessively. However, P1 will not block or restrict the service completely for the users who use the service excessively, unless it is necessary. |
|
3. | Why is a fair usage policy required? |
| P1's W1MAX service is a shared broadband service, whereby the connection to the internet is shared between multiple users. The service is shared in order to allowP1 to offer affordable packages which will meet the requirements of the majority broadband users. The price of a dedicated service (not shared, usually referred to as a Leased Line service), is normally too expensive for the most Internet users who use the internet to surf lightly, read and send emails, occasionally upload and download files and stream videos.
However, a very small number of customers would use their broadband service excessively; resulting in decrease in speed, quality and reliability of the service offered to the rest of our customers.
It is estimated from the usage pattern from P1 and other broadband providers' data, that approximately 1% to 3% of broadband customers can use up to 30%-90% of the available broadband capacity. Excessive users frequently download and upload large number of videos, very large files and use "peer to peer" (P2P) and file sharing software throughout the day.
P1's Fair Usage Policy manages the broadband network from excessive users in order to maintain a fair, high quality and reliable level of service for the rest of our customers. |
|
4. | How does P1's Fair Usage Policy affect me? |
| P1's Fair Usage Policy applies to all our customers but it will only affect you if you are one of the very few users who make inappropriate or excessive use of P1's service. Majority of users who do not frequently upload or download very large number of videos, very large files and use peer to peer (P2P) and file sharing software will not be affected. |
|
5. | Does P1 throttle P2P or Bittorrent traffic?. |
| P1 manages peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic from applications like Bit Torrent and other file sharing software when service congestion occurs, in order to maintain a fair, high quality and reliable level of service for all users. |
|
6. | Does P1 impose a limit on its customers’ data usage? |
| The policy gives you data usage of up to five (5) Gigabyte (GB) (Home LITE package), twenty (20) Gigabyte (GB) (Home PLUS package) and thirty (30) Gigabyte (GB) (Home PRO package) of data usage per month (upload and download) for P1’s standard fixed broadband service. Our customers’ usage is monitored on a daily basis and the usage is calculated based on the total usage per month. Based on normal usage trends, most customers will not exceed this limit, unless large volumes of data are constantly uploaded and downloaded, or peer to peer and file sharing applications are used. This limit is set in addition to the Fair Usage Policy to ensure the best possible experience in terms of speed, quality and reliability for our customers. There are no limits on data usage for the Office STANDARD and Office PREMIUM packages. |
|
7. | How much is 30 gb (Home Pro Package)? |
| To reach 30 Gigabyte (GB) of data usage, a customer will need to achieve any of the following examples in a month: - Send/receive 6 million plain text emails (at 5Kb per email)
- Surf more than 85,000 web pages (at average 350Kb per webpage)
- Download/Upload/Send 9,750 songs (at 3MB per song)
- Download/Upload/Send 7,500 high resolution photos (at 4MB per photo)
- Watch 7,500 YouTube clips (at 2 minutes per video clip)
- Watch 46 full-length movies (at 650MB per movie)
|
|
8. | What will happen if my usage exceeds the Fair Usage Policy on my billing cycle month? |
| If your data usage per month exceeds the Fair Usage Policy, P1 reserves the right to manage and reduce the connection speed. All connection speeds will return as per original subscription packages at the beginning of your billing cycle month. |
|
Technical Troubleshooting |
1. | Why are the lights blinking on my modem? |
| If you’ve just switched on your modem, give it a few moments for the connection to stabilise.
The lights should blink in this order: - Red LED: Bringing up the wireless link
- Yellow LED: User authentication (your connection is being authenticated)
- Green LED: DHCP Client negotiation (an IP address is being assigned to you)
If the Green LED does not stabilise after a few minutes, the service may not be available in that area. Try a different part of the house/apartment, preferably near a window. |
|
2. | I didn’t have a problem connecting before this. What happened? |
| If you’re on the outskirts of our coverage, you might want to try again later, as the signal might not be strong. You might get timeout issues whenever you’re not within our coverage. |
|
|
| Should your lights continuously blink without stabilising, reset your modem to its default settings. You’ll need to call our P1 Customer CareLine to do this. When resetting the modem to its default settings is unsuccessful, please bring your modem (along with its box and accessories) to:
