Our Fair Use Policy
Welcome to Port Networks!
By using our service, you agree to abide by this fair use policy — so read on, and let’s keep things running smoothly (and legally)!
Purpose
We provide “unlimited” or high-capacity voice services, but no network is infinite—especially wireless.
This policy explains how we manage network performance so everyone has a good experience.
Reasonable Use
Our services are designed for:
- typical residential internet usage, and
- typical mobile phone usage.
If your usage looks like a data center, we’re going to notice.
Network Management Practices
Deprioritization
During times of congestion, your traffic may be slowed relative to other users.
Throttling or Restrictions
We may limit speeds or usage if:
- your usage is significantly higher than typical users
- your usage negatively impacts the network
- your usage suggests non-consumer or automated activity
Hotspot / Tethering
Mobile plans may include limits on hotspot usage.
We may:
- reduce speeds after a certain threshold
- restrict excessive or continuous tethering
Video Optimization
We may optimize video streaming to manage network performance.
Roaming
Roaming (domestic or international) may be:
- limited,
- speed-restricted, or
- unavailable depending on the plan.
Excessive Use
Examples of excessive use include:
- continuous high-volume data transfer (e.g., hundreds of GBs/month on mobile)
- 24/7 automated traffic
- using mobile service as a full-time home ISP replacement (unless explicitly allowed)
What Happens If You Exceed Fair Use
We may:
- temporarily slow your speeds
- limit certain types of traffic
- contact you to adjust usage
- suspend or terminate service in extreme cases
No Guarantees
Speeds, latency, and availability depend on:
- network conditions
- location
- device
- underlying carrier performance
Updates
We may update this FUP from time to time. Continued use of the service means you accept the updated policy.
