11. FAIR USAGE POLICY (FUP)
11.1. WHAT IS FAIR USAGE POLICY?
Fair Usage Policy or FUP is practiced by ISPs worldwide whereby it allows ISPs to restrict or throttle Internet Speeds on unlimited plans so as to prevent misuse or excessive use of bandwidth provided. FUP is implemented with the intent of protecting the ISPs ability to provide quality internet services to all of their customers and to ensure no customers are disadvantaged by the behavior of others. Providing unlimited Internet service increases the risk of few customers abusing the service and using most of the ISPs bandwidth which makes it difficult for ISPs to maintain quality for other customers who have moderate usage and are paying the equal amount of money. In order to prevent this ISP throttle or restrict speeds of customers who have excessive usage so as to maintain fair usage amongst all of its customers.
11.2. HOW IS VIANET’S FAIR USAGE POLICY IMPLEMENTED?
Vianet’s Fair Usage Policy is only applicable on their Home packages.
Vianet checks for excessive usage by monitoring client’s data usage in a monthly cycle. Data usage is calculated by adding both download and upload data used from the start of every English month.
There are three levels of speed throttling done depending on client’s usage within an English month. At crossing Level 1 Fair Usage Quota threshold the client’s speed will be throttled to 60%, at Level 2 speed will be throttled to 30% and at level 3 speed will be throttled to 10%. If a customer has crossed the FUP Quota threshold, their data usage counter will reset at the first of every English month and their Internet will return back to its original speed.

Multiple devices and routers using the same wireless frequency nearby cause signals to interfere with each other. Since a lot of devices in the market currently use 2.4 Ghz wireless signal frequency band, there is high probability of wireless interference. If you have a 2.4Ghz WiFi router at your home and office, there is a high chance of wireless interference from other devices using 2.4Ghz frequency band in your area which disturbs the ability of your device to communicate with your WiFi router which results in slow internet or frequent disconnection of Internet. - 2. Lower speed capability:
2.4Ghz frequency band router have lower data transfer speeds as compared to 5Ghz routers. 5Ghz router is a must for high speed wireless Internet experience.
A 5Ghz wireless frequency band router helps solve these issues.
As the 5Ghz wireless frequency band is not as common as 2.4Ghz frequency band, there is little wireless interference. Which means customer will experience better, higher speed and more consistent Internet performance. 5Ghz frequency band also supports higher data transfer speeds, so customers who use high speed packages must use 5Ghz frequency band routers to experience the best possible Internet speeds wirelessly.
One thing to note is that 5Ghz wireless frequency band has lower range than 2.4Ghz frequency band. So if you require high speed, more consistent Internet connection it is recommended to connect to the 5Ghz wireless frequency band router. And if you require more range but are not using heavy Internet demanding applications then it is recommended to connect to 2.4Ghz wireless frequency band.
Luckily the 5Ghz Router that we are offering support dual band. Which means it operates in both 2.4 Ghz as well as 5Ghz wireless frequency band. So customers have the best of both worlds. When using Internet intensive applications such as video calls, video streaming, online gaming, downloads we recommend using 5Ghz wireless network and staying close to the router. And when mobility is more important but are not using Internet heavy applications we recommend connecting to the 2.4 Ghz Network.
