Through the Service, GCI provides you with Internet access. You are responsible for providing a device that is able to use the Service you have ordered. We offer different speed packages, depending on service availability in your region. The current Internet packages available in your region may be found on the GCI website at http://www.gci.com/internet, or if you are a UUI or Supervision customer, http://www.uui-alaska.com. The Service is not available in all areas, and may not be available at certain speeds in your location or at all.
- GCI-PROVIDED E-MAIL ACCOUNT
Some plans include the option to open and use a GCI-provided e-mail account (“GCI E-mail Account”). You acknowledge that GCI may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the GCI E-mail Account, including without limitation the maximum number of days that e-mail messages or other content will be retained, the maximum number of e-mail messages that may be sent from or received by a GCI E-mail Account, the maximum size of any e-mail message that may be sent from or received by a GCI E-mail Account, the maximum disk space that will be allotted on GCI’s servers on your behalf, and the maximum number of times (and the maximum duration for which) you may access the GCI E-mail Account in a given period of time. You agree that GCI has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any messages and other communications or other content maintained or transmitted by the Service. You acknowledge that GCI reserves the right to disable accounts that are inactive for an extended period of time. You further acknowledge that GCI reserves the right to change these general practices and limits at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without notice.
- PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
- Speed
The advertised plan speed is the maximum speed you should expect to achieve for the service to which you have subscribed. GCI customers can measure network performance including download speed and upload speed by using GCI’s speed test site at http://speedtest.gci.com. Several factors may affect the actual speed measured by this site at any particular point in time. These factors may include, but are not limited to: the capability of the device used to access the Internet; limitations of customer-owned Wi-Fi routers and other equipment; the capabilities of websites or other Internet services accessed by you; and other network traffic. Speed tests performed on different sites may produce varying results due to networks and systems outside of GCI’s direct control.
- Basic Level of Service
Some plans offer the option for customers that have utilized all of the high-speed data usage under their plan to continue for the remainder of their billing cycle (after all the included usage has been used) at a “Basic Level of Service” without incurring additional usage charges. At a Basic Level of Service, no applications, websites, or services are blocked at any time. Activities such as email, online shopping, banking, and most web browsing may load faster and work better than applications that require high speeds, such as large file downloads or streaming media. When using a Basic Level of Service, you may find that content requiring high speeds is sometimes embedded in web pages, which may slow down the overall web browsing experience. Note that when your new billing cycle begins, the Service will automatically return to the normal high speed plan you subscribe to.
- Speed
- DATA USAGE
- Overview
To ensure high quality and affordable Internet access for all GCI Internet subscribers, GCI products are differentiated in part by bandwidth and the amount of usage included in the regular monthly Service charge. GCI reserves the right to change these amounts at any time. If the change results in a reduction of service, GCI will provide at least 30 days’ notice. On all relevant plans, any high-speed usage exceeding the included amount of usage will be invoiced and payable. You are responsible for all users who are allowed access to your Service and all utilization and excess traffic accessed through the Service. All GCI Internet services are designed, maintained, and priced to provide a quality broadband experience at affordable rates and are subject to fair and reasonable use of the service including pursuant to our Acceptable Use Policy. GCI provides an online interface (“Usage Viewer”) to allow customers to monitor the usage on their accounts. The Usage Viewer is a guide for estimating current usage, but real-time updates are not available as usage is consumed. In addition, totals from previous days may increase as the usage records are processed and reported in the Usage Viewer, and changes to your plan during the billing cycle may result in inconsistent usage reporting until a new billing cycle begins. If there is any anomalous traffic, you must report the issue to GCI within 3 business days of the anomalous traffic. If the anomalous traffic is reported promptly and results from circumstances outside your control, including without limitation a computer virus, spam attack, or denial of service attack, GCI may, in its discretion, confirm the source of the problem and provide usage credit for the anomalous traffic. If you have questions about your usage, please contact Customer Service.
- Information About Particular levels of Service
- Some GCI Internet plans have a maximum usage overage charge that GCI will bill an Internet subscriber on a single invoice, of $200.Customers on these plans who reach $200 of usage charges will no longer be billed for any additional usage during that billing cycle, but the Internet service will be reduced to a Basic Level of Service for the remainder of the billing cycle.
- Other GCI Internet plans include a specific amount of high-speed data usage per billing cycle.Once all of the high-speed data included in the plan is used, the Internet service will be reduced to a Basic Level of Service for the remainder of the billing cycle.Customers on these plans are given the option to continue using the Basic Level of Service, upgrade to another plan, or authorize the purchase of an additional high-speed usage bucket.Since each purchase must be authorized before charges are incurred, there is no limit to the number of buckets a customer may opt to add.
- While some GCI products (including but not limited to GCI’s 1 GIG Red Unlimited plan) provide customers with unlimited data usage and no overage charges, any such products are subject to reasonable use and applicable network management practices. Services marketed or sold as “residential” are intended for residential use only, and commercial or business use of these services is prohibited.Service may not be used in any manner that has the effect of excessively contributing to network congestion, hindering other customers’ access to the network, or degrading network performance by maintaining a sustained or continuous data connection.Activities that involve extensive high-volume and continuous data transfer might cause your account to be considered in excess of reasonable usage and subject to review. Examples of these activities may include, but are not limited to, use of the service as a substitute or backup for Dedicated Access internet service; continuous or frequent and sustained operation of server devices, host computer applications such as continuous Web camera broadcasts, or streaming video and peer-to-peer file sharing programs; or an unsecured wireless signal. GCI proactively identifies accounts with usage in excess of 3TB per billing period for account review and may provide the opportunity to upgrade your service or discuss how to maintain usage within acceptable ranges. GCI reserves the right to impose reasonable network management policies, including bandwidth limits and deprioritization of traffic, and/or to terminate service if a mutually agreed upon resolution cannot be reached.
- Overview
- NETWORK MANAGEMENT
In order to maintain the best possible experience for all customers receiving Service, and to protect our network, GCI uses reasonable network management practices. Consistent with industry standards, if a certain portion of the network grows congested, we may use network management techniques to ensure that all customers have fair access to the network. For example, we employ a practice that allows the traffic of users that are imposing fewer demands on the network to get through highly utilized portions of the network more quickly than the traffic of heavier users. This policy is implemented without regard to the customer’s specific identify or what specific content, application, service or device they are using. A user may be deemed a “heavy user” based on usage during a short period of time (e.g., 15 minutes) or on a monthly billing cycle basis, or both. Thus, someone identified as a heavy user at the present time might be determined to be a light user just a few minutes later or with sufficient usage may be deemed a heavy user for the remainder of their billing cycle. Customers whose Internet traffic is de-prioritized may experience longer than normal times to download or upload files, somewhat slower Web browsing, or delays in online gaming. These techniques manage congestion in real time, so the periods of management may be sporadic and are temporary. With the exception of ensuring network security and integrity, and addressing traffic unwanted by our users (such as viruses, spam, etc.), we do not prohibit the use of, block access to, or block traffic from any services or applications even when we use network management techniques. In order to ensure that applications work effectively for all our customers, GCI may prioritize certain applications that require real-time interaction such as voice service. Locations in GCI’s statewide network that are served in part via satellite do not allow for the types of real-time congestion management described above. We may change our network management techniques from time to time without advance or immediate notice to you. Aggregated, non-customer-specific network traffic data is stored and used specifically for network management and growth planning purposes by GCI.
- IP ADDRESSES
You acknowledge that use of the Service does not give you any ownership or other rights in any Internet/on-line addresses provided to you, including without limitation Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses and e-mail addresses. We may modify or change these addresses at any time and will make reasonable efforts to contact impacted customers when such changes are made. Upon termination of your Service, we reserve the right to permanently delete or remove any or all addresses associated with your Service.
- EQUIPMENT
- Company Equipment
You acknowledge that, except for equipment purchased by you from GCI, any equipment and facilities we install, along with any equipment we lease to you (collectively, “Company Equipment”), are for your exclusive use only for purposes of using the Service during your subscription and remain GCI’s property. You agree that you will not allow the Company Equipment to be serviced by anyone other than our employees or agents. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you may not permit any attachments to, alteration of, or tampering with the Company Equipment. We may remove or change the Company Equipment at our discretion at any time the Service is active or following the termination of your Service. You agree that addition or removal of or change to the Company Equipment may interrupt your Service. You agree that the Company Equipment must be returned to us at the time you cancel your Service and that it will be in working order other than reasonable wear and tear. In the event the Company Equipment is lost, stolen, damaged, destroyed, or otherwise not returned promptly, you agree to pay the current replacement cost of the Company Equipment.
- Customer Equipment
“Customer Equipment” means any customer-owned or customer-provided software, hardware, or services that you elect to use in connection with the Service. Customers are not restricted from attaching devices, including wireless routers, to the network access equipment that GCI provides, subject to any security limitations noted herein, including GCI’s right to prohibit any Customer Equipment that it finds harmful. If cable modem service is available in your location, GCI will supply you a cable modem. For UUI customers, if DSL service is available in your location, UUI will supply you a DSL modem, and you must have a DSL-capable telephone line. We have thoroughly tested these devices for our network and supporting systems to ensure secure, reliable service at the highest possible data rates, and, if possible, to provide you with information about your usage. While GCI does not prohibit the use of any specific cable modems on its network, customer-provided cable modems may require GCI pre-certification. This process is necessary to ensure network security and to facilitate network management, service provisioning, and the availability of usage information. Any customer wishing to attach a non-GCI-certified modem to GCI’s network should send an inquiry to support@gci.net, and will be required to pay a fee for this certification process. Any Customer Equipment submitted for certification must, at a minimum, be approved by the FCC and also be CableLabs DOCSIS certified. A list of pre-approved modems is on our website at https://www.gci.com/about/terms-conditions/internet/approved-customer-owned-modems. GCI cannot guarantee that Customer Equipment will work with our Service. We may not be able to support or troubleshoot Customer Equipment and will not be responsible for the ongoing maintenance of any equipment that we did not provide to you. You are responsible for providing all other equipment, devices, and software necessary to receive and use the Service.
- Company Equipment
- NETWORK SECURITY
In an effort to provide a secure Service, GCI deploys industry-recommended security measures on its network. For subscribers connected to GCI’s wireline network, GCI employs a number of measures, including Cable Modem Authentication, CVC signed code images, Data Encryption, Baseline Privacy Interface (BPI), and Digitally Signed configuration files. For subscribers connected to GCI’s network wirelessly via Wi-Fi or similar fixed wireless technology (often in rural Alaska), GCI uses unpublished Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs) and Media Access Control (MAC) protocol-based authentication for each authorized device on the network. Regardless of network type, GCI recommends that you use personal firewalls and security/malware software to protect your personal and/or business information. It is your sole responsibility to take appropriate precautions to protect against damage to or destruction of hardware, software, files, and data.
- ACCOUNT SECURITY AND PASSWORDS
