Fair Use Policy is effective for Bell MTS Business services.
Flat rate or unlimited use plans and services offered are subject to customer using the service under an ordinary range of use and in a way that does not consume excessive network capacity and/or adversely affect Bell MTS’s ability to provide services to other users. By way of example and not limitation, the following are considered by Bell MTS to be outside of an ordinary range of use thereby consuming excessive network capacity:
- Prolonged continuous use of high bandwidth applications such as multi-media streaming, voice over Internet protocol or LBS (location based services) or any other similar applications
- Operation (i.e. hosting) of servers for services such as email, web, news, chat or other similar services
- Resale, transfer or distribution of the unlimited use service for commercial purposes
- Sharing the unlimited use service with an unauthorized party
- Engaging in or allowing any alteration, copying, reproduction of or tampering with electronic serial numbers or other identification, signaling or transmission functions or components of the device used with the service
Bell MTS may immediately suspend, restrict, alter or terminate all or part of any service provided to a customer or take other necessary protective measures, if it determines that a customer is contravening this policy, as determined by Bell MTS, acting reasonably.

How does Bell MTS's network management practices affect customers?
Bell MTS may control the speeds of customers’ High Speed Internet in a specific geographic area in order to ensure that there is enough bandwidth available to all customers. When a customer is experiencing controlled speeds, the reduced speeds should not affect low bandwidth applications like sending emails, website browsing, and instant messaging applications. Reduced speeds will likely affect the performance and length of time required for applications that can require greater bandwidth like peer-to-peer file sharing.
