2degrees reserves the right to manage traffic at peak times to improve the overall performance and experience of our Services among our customers.

Fair Use
Wireless Broadband (including Unlimited Plans), Rural Broadband Services and Home Phone Services are subject to the Fair Use Policy. Your use of the Services must be fair, reasonable and not excessive, as reasonably determined by us by reference to average and/or estimated typical customer usage of the Services. We will consider your usage to be excessive and unreasonable where it:

1. materially exceeds the average and/or estimated use patterns over any day, week or month (or other period of time as determined by us); or
2. causes us to incur additional costs or affects the performance of the 2degrees Network or affects another 2degrees’ customers’ use of or access to the Services,

Excessive Usage.
Where we offer any Services such use is offered for your individual private and personal use and benefit only. In no case does any Service allow for activities aimed at making profit or reselling the Service or using the Service in an unfair or excessive way and any such use of the Services by you is a breach of this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, fair use of our Services excludes activities such as auto-dialling, premium services, continuously call forwarding, tele-marketing, call centres or other activities that use our services for commercial gain and use of cellular trunking units (including SIM boxes and GSM gateways).
If in our reasonable opinion we consider your usage to be Excessive Usage we may immediately suspend, modify or restrict your use of the Services or withdraw in full or in part your access to the Services without notice to you and/or act in accordance with the Wire Broadband Traffic Management process set out above.
See our Fair Use Policy.
