WISPRENN has established a monthly data consumption threshold for the RESIDENTAL PLAN of 75,000 total mbytes (75GB) and for the BUSINESS PLAN a threshold of 170,000 total mbytes (170GB). The total bandwidth allowance is divided as follows: Residential Plan - 70GB download/5GB upload, Business Plan - 160GB Download/10GB Upload.

In addition, you must ensure that your use of the Service does not limit or interfere with WISPRENN's ability to deliver and monitor the Service or any part of its network. If you use the Service in violation of the restrictions referenced above, that is a violation of this Policy. In these cases, WISPRENN may, in its sole discretion, suspend, terminate or bill your Service account or request that you subscribe to an advanced version of the Service (such as a commercial grade Internet service, if appropriate) if you wish to continue to use the Service at higher data consumption levels. WISPRENN may also provide versions of the Service with different speed and data consumption limitations, among other characteristics, subject to applicable Service plans.
