Fair Access Policy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Internet service providers often implement a so-called Fair Access Policy to prevent users of a broadband connection to overuse bandwidth. Generally, the limit is 200 MB/day, and after that the speed of the connection is reduced to dial-up levels. The ban lasts for some varying amount of time after which the speed is restored to normal. Numerous users have complained [1] [2] about the lack of information that they receive about such policies.
