17. 2degrees will provide you with a 30 day money back guarantee if you are unable to use the Services due to the fact you are outside the rural broadband coverage area.

Installation and Equipment

19. 2degrees will provide you with the 2degrees Modem so you can connect to the Services. If you have signed up to a fixed term plan, we will retain ownership of the 2degrees Modem and you must return it to 2degrees on our request. This modem requires mains power. In the event of a power failure, your rural broadband service will not be available, including access to emergency services. Make sure you have a charged mobile phone available for use in power outages including for emergencies.
Speed
20. Broadband speeds may vary due to factors controlled by you such as your premises’ connection, wiring and internal WiFi, interference from electrical devices, the location and quality of the websites you choose to view and the software you may have downloaded (malicious or otherwise) and the number of users in your household. The day to day performance will also be affected by the network.

- Fax machines;
- Monitored home or medical alarms; and
- Pay TV boxes.
You should check with your provider of any of these services to ensure that Smart Phone will work with these.
