3. Internet Services Agreement

3.1           This Internet Use Policy is governed by, and forms part of, our Internet Services Agreement.

4. How Seaside manages internet traffic during peak periods

4.1           When internet use peaks, usually in the evening, Seaside's electronic switches give priority to traffic that is sensitive to minute delays. Voice-over-Internet calls (VoIP) and real-time online games get the highest priority entering and leaving our network, followed by web browsing, email, and audio or video streaming. File-sharing (also known as peer-to-peer or bit torrents) receives the lowest priority.

Our goal in this traffic management is to ensure optimal service for all users, so that all categories of users get fair access to available bandwidth. Seaside is not a content provider, and we never employ traffic management in such a way so as to give any one content provider priority over any other.
