In order to provide its customers with the highest level of service, AirFiber WISP has adopted this Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). This Policy outlines acceptable use of the Service and is in addition to any other agreements in effect for the Service(s) customer has subscribed to.
Failure to comply with this AUP may result in the suspension or termination of your Service. If you do not agree to comply with this AUP, you must immediately stop use of the Service and notify AirFiber WISP, so that your account may be closed.

Despite our efforts, we cannot guarantee any particular amount of bandwidth on the Service or that any speed or throughput of your connection will be available at all times. The speed of the Service will vary depending upon a number of factors, including your computer system(s) and associated equipment, Internet traffic, and other factors such as system capacity limitations, governmental actions, events beyond AirFiber WISP control, and system failures, modifications, upgrades, and repairs. Accordingly, we cannot guaranty that the Service will meet your requirements or expectations or will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error free.
AirFiber WISP reserves the right to deny or suspend your service to any individual or organization which, in AirFiber WISP's opinion, intends to use the service in a manner that would violate this AUP.

4. Restrict, inhibit, or otherwise interfere with the ability of any other person, regardless of intent, purpose or knowledge, to use or enjoy the Service, including, without limitation, posting or transmitting any information or software which contains a worm, virus, or other harmful feature, or generating levels of traffic sufficient to impede others' ability to send or retrieve information.

Open Internet Principles of Air Fiber WISP
The Federal Communications Commission issued rules to preserve the Internet as an open platform. These rules went into effect on November 23, 2011 and can be found at this link:(click here)
All Internet service providers are required to post information regarding various issues so that consumers, both residential and business, can make informed choices about choosing an Internet service provider. This document contains information regarding our services and in compliance with the FCC’s rules. The policies contained herein serve as a supplement to the existing terms of service.
The FCC’s rules focus on three primary issues:
Transparency. Fixed and mobile broadband providers must disclose the network management practices, performance characteristics, and terms and conditions of their broadband services;
No blocking. Fixed broadband providers may not block lawful content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices; mobile broadband providers may not block lawful Web sites, or block applications that compete with their voice or video telephony services; and
No unreasonable discrimination. Fixed broadband providers may not unreasonably discriminate in transmitting lawful network traffic.
Reasonable network management. ISPs may engage in reasonable network management to maintain a high quality of service for broadband Internet access.
Network Practices
ISPs must disclose their network practices, specifically in the four general areas listed below. ISPs may not block lawful content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices, subject to reasonable network management. An ISP may not block consumers from accessing lawful Web sites, subject to reasonable network management; nor shall the ISP block applications that compete with the provider’s voice or video telephony services, subject to reasonable network management. ISPs may not unreasonably discriminate in transmitting lawful network traffic over a consumer’s broadband Internet access service, although, reasonable network management shall not constitute unreasonable discrimination. The FCC’s rules state that a network management practice is reasonable if it is appropriate and tailored to achieving a legitimate network management purpose, taking into account the particular network architecture and technology of the broadband Internet access service.
Congestion Management
AirFiber WISP manages its network with one goal: to deliver the best possible broadband Internet experience to all of its customers.
Application-Specific Behavior
Bandwidth management is not based on application, content or protocol. The technique is “protocol-agnostic,” which means that the system does not manage congestion based on the applications being used by customers. It is also content neutral, so it does not depend on the type of content that is generating traffic congestion. Said another way, customer traffic is congestion-managed not based on the applications or content being used, but based on current bandwidth product the customer purchases.
Device Attachment Rules
Any device connected to the AirFiber WISP network must conform to publicly available industry standards and be non-harmful to the AirFIber WISP network. Residential subscribers may not run any type of server, including, but not limited to, DNS servers, mail servers, ftp servers, game servers or P2P servers.
Security
AirFIber WISP offers its customers unrestricted access to all of the lawful content, services, and applications available on the Internet. AirFIber WISP uses industry standard tools and best practices and policies to protect our customers from spam, phishing, and other unwanted or harmful on-line content and activities. In the instances where these tools and policies identify on-line content as harmful or unwanted, the content may be prevent from reaching customers, or customers may be permitted to identify or inspect content to determine if it is harmful or unwanted.
Performance Characteristics
ISPs must disclose the following network performance characteristics:
