Wireless Acceptable Use Policy

General

Our customers may not use our network, machines, or services in any manner that:

Prohibited activity includes but is not limited to:

Wireless High Speed Internet Access Service

Customers may not resell Wireless Internet Access Service ("Service") without a legal and written agency agreement with Frontier. Unless specifically permitted by Frontier, Customers may not retransmit the Service or make the Service available to anyone outside the premises (i.e., wi-fi or other methods of networking). Customers may not share wireless user accounts for access to Frontier Wireless networks. Customers may not use the Service to host any type of commercial server.

Customers must comply with all Frontier network, bandwidth, data storage and usage limitations. Customers must ensure that their use of the Service, including the amount of data sent or received in the course of a month or shorter periods, does not exceed the limitations that are now in effect or may be established in the future. Continued use of the Service will constitute acceptance of any new limits. If Customer's use of the Service exceeds the applicable limitations, it is a violation of this Policy. In such cases, Frontier may, in its sole discretion, terminate or suspend Customer's Service account or request that Customer subscribe to a version of the Service with higher usage limitations if Customer wishes to continue to use the Service at higher usage levels.

Email

Sending unsolicited bulk e-advertising or implicating, directly or indirectly, the use of any service hosted or provided by us, including without limitation e-mail, web, FTP, and DNS services, is prohibited and is grounds for termination of those services. Users who send unsolicited bulk e-mail from our accounts will be charged the cost of labor to respond to complaints, with a minimum charge of $200. Customers or users who send bulk e-mail to "opt-in" lists must have a method of confirmation or verification of subscriptions and be able to show evidence of subscription for users who complain about receiving unsolicited e-mail. Continuing to send someone e-mail after being asked to stop is considered harassment and is prohibited. Using email to disrupt (e.g., mail bombing, "flashing," etc.) is prohibited. Sending e-mail with falsified header information is prohibited. Chain letters, pyramid schemes, and hoaxes are prohibited. Use of SMTP services of a third party for the purposes of relaying or sending electronic mail messages without the express permission of that third party is prohibited.

Customers and users may not use programs to harvest email addresses from the Internet for the purpose of sending unsolicited e-mail or selling the addresses to others for that purpose.

Usenet newsgroups

We place no content restrictions on newsgroup postings by our users except that (a) no illegal content, including pyramid/Ponzi schemes, is permitted and (b) all postings should conform to the various conventions, guidelines and local culture found in each respective newsgroup and Usenet as a whole. Posting 20 or more copies of the same article in a 45-day period ("spamming") or continued posting of off-topic articles after being warned is prohibited. Users who engage in spamming using our accounts will be charged the cost of labor to issue cancellations and respond to complaints, with a minimum charge of $200. Spamming advertising or implicating, directly or indirectly, the use of any service hosted or provided by us, including without limitation e-mail, web, FTP, and DNS services, is prohibited and is grounds for termination of those services to those users. Excessive cross posting (Breidbart Index of 20 or greater in a 45-day period) is prohibited. The Breidbart Index (BI) is calculated by taking the sum of the square roots of the number of newsgroups each copy of an article is cross-posted to. If two articles are posted, one cross-posted to 9 newsgroups and the other cross-posted to 16 newsgroups, the BI = sqrt(9)+sqrt(16)=3+4=7. Cross-posting articles to newsgroups where they are off-topic is prohibited. A good rule of thumb is that if you are cross-posting to more than five newsgroups, it's likely to be off-topic on at least one of them.

Commercial advertising is typically off-topic and/or a violation of charter in most Usenet newsgroups. Posting articles with falsified header information is prohibited. "Munging" header information to foil e-mail address harvesting by "spammers" is acceptable provided that a reasonable means of replying to the message originator is given. Use of anonymous re-mailers is acceptable, so long as the use is not otherwise a violation of this policy. Users may not issue cancellations for postings except those which they have posted themselves, those which have headers falsified so as to appear to come from them, or in newsgroups where they are the official moderator. Users are urged to familiarize themselves with the workings of Usenet by reading FAQs regarding Usenet before becoming active participants.

The World Wide Web and FTP

The web space and public FTP space included with some wireless accounts may not be resold or used for adult-oriented material. Web pages and FTP files may not contain any material, text, or images, whether hosted on our servers or "transclusioned" (images from another site displayed on the page) which violate or infringe any copyright, trademark, patent, statutory, common law, or proprietary rights of others. Web pages and FTP files may not contain links that initiate downloads of copyright infringing or other illegal material. Those who believe users of our services are infringing their copyrights must submit their complaints in writing to our Designated Agent to Receive Notifications of Claimed Infringement, Andrew Crain, Frontier Communications, 3 High Ridge Park, Stamford, CT 06905, (203) 614-5110, (203) 203-614-4651 fax.

Servers, Proxies, and Networks

Users may not run any program that makes a service or resource available to others, including but not limited to port redirectors, proxy servers, chat servers, MUDs, file servers, and IRC bots. Customers are responsible for the security of their own networks and machines. We will assume neither responsibility nor accountability for failures or breach of customer-imposed protective measures, whether implied or actual. Abuse that occurs as a result of a compromised customer's system or account may result in suspension of services or account access.

Storing files

The storage of any program, utility or file on our servers the use of which would constitute a violation of this policy is prohibited. For example, it is a violation to store hacker scripts, IRC bots, or spamming software on our servers.

System Notifications

In the event of system upgrades, Frontier may need to contact you via email with additional information and instructions. You are responsible for any follow-up actions defined within the email notification. If the instructions are unclear, please contact the Internet Help Desk at 1-800-469-6519. We will only distribute system notifications via email when absolutely necessary. Customers may not opt-out of email System Notifications at this time. In order to protect the integrity and security of the network in an emergency, Frontier reserves the right to implement network changes without prior notification.

Termination of Service

Frontier reserves the right to discontinue service at any time, for any reason, without prior notification. Customers may terminate their account by contacting Frontier by telephone. No e-mail cancellations will be accepted.

Policy Updates

Frontier reserves the right to modify this policy at any time. Customers will receive prompt notification of all modifications.
