Network management is the reasonable and nondiscriminatory enforcement of network usage policies and the management of bandwidth use and capacity. Network management includes congestion- and security-protocol-management. While maintaining its network, REV is also promoting the dynamic benefits of an open and accessible Internet. So, the broadband experience of REV’s customers will generally not be impacted by the industry-standard network management techniques used by REV.<\/p>\n
REV manages only the portion of the network that begins on the outside of the customer’s home up to the point where the internet traffic is handed off to the public network. REV does not control the equipment inside the customer premise such as routers, computers, application software, and inside wire, which can affect the performance of the broadband service. REV also does not control the operation of specific websites that may slow down during busy periods or the overall performance of the public internet.<\/p>\n
REV manages its network in order to provide the ultimate broadband Internet service to its customers. REV acknowledges that bandwidth and network resources are not infinite and must be reasonably confined. In order to bring you the best possible broadband Internet experience, REV enforces network management policies that limit network congestion and delay while ensuring that all Internet content is treated equally and is not unlawfully blocked or degraded. REV’s network management practices are intended to protect the network, and REV’s customers, from network congestion, threats to the network, security attacks, viruses and spam. REV manages its network in a way that is transparent and nondiscriminatory.<\/p>\n
REV has policies in place to ensure that customers are able to access the lawful Internet content of their choice, run the Internet applications of their choice and to promote the continued development of the Internet. REV’s network management practices are nondiscriminatory, application-neutral, and minimally intrusive. REV may use one or more of the following industry standard techniques to manage its network. This list is not exhaustive:<\/p>\n\n
REV uses reasonable network management tools and practices that are minimally intrusive to its customers and are consistent with industry standards. In accordance with REV’s policies, Terms and Conditions for Service, Broadband Internet Acceptable Use Policy (\u201cAUP\u201d), and the Internet Service Agreement, Customers have agreed to comply with all current bandwidth, data storage, and other limitations on REV’s Broadband Internet services. Thus, REV’s tools and practices will generally impact only users that have violated the terms of REV’s policies, AUP, Terms and Conditions for Service, or the Internet Service Agreement. Users are also more likely to experience an impact on online experience during peak periods where congestion is prevalent.<\/p>\n

REV\u2019s network management is based on current network conditions and the aggregate amount of bandwidth being used by customers.<\/p>\n

If, however, your violation persists, you will discover that you are unable to access the Internet through REV’s Broadband Internet service. You will be unable to surf the web or conduct online activities.<\/p>\n
If your account is suspended, you should contact REV and follow REV’s instructions for reinstating service.<\/p>\n
