7. Device Attachment Rules: The Company provides an ONT (Optical Network Terminal) or a modem as the point to demarcation for the service. Customers may attach devices of their choosing to their ONT/modem, including wired or wireless routers, laptops, desktop computers, video game systems, televisions, or other network-enabled electronics equipment. However, customers are responsible for ensuring that their equipment does not harm the Company’s network or impair the service of other customers. The Company is not responsible for the functionality or compatibility of any equipment provided by its customers. Customers are responsible for securing their own equipment to prevent unauthorized access to the Company’s broadband network by third parties and will be held responsible for the actions of such third parties who gain unauthorized access through unsecured customer equipment.

9. Impact of Non-Broadband Internet Access Service Data Services: Dedicated Internet connections are offered to schools, hospitals, and large commercial users. The bandwidth required to offer these non-broadband services is accounted for in the same way that broadband services are – congestion avoidance and alleviation practices are the same and no impact on broadband customers can be expected as a result of these services existing on the network.
