Unlimited access means that there is no hourly fee,
just the flat monthly fee. You can use the Internet as much as
you want without having to keep track of time. Unlimited access
is different than dedicated access. Dedicated access is a full-time
Internet connection, which we can offer. If you are not
using your connection to the internet for 7 to 10 minutes, the
connection will terminated automatically. There are programs
that can keep a line open indefinitely by sending IP packets
on a regular basis, this is an abuse of the account and may result
in termination of service. We reserve the right to terminate
connections every once in a while to make users log back in,
especially when a connection has been active for five hours or
more. You may only have one connection active at a time. If you
have more than one computer that you want to have access the
Internet at the same time or computers on different telephone
lines, you need to setup separate accounts with GCIS. The use
of a Proxy server is allowed but we require that you notify us
of its use (see rate schedule). If we notice usage increases
above allowed limits, extra charges will be invoiced. These limits
are on our price list.
GCIS may occasionally require new registration and account
information from you to continue the service. You will notify
GCIS of any changes in your account information. You will also
notify GCIS if there is a disruption in service over 3 weeks
in duration, due to vacation, broken equipment, extended part
time residence elsewhere, etc.. Upon notification, we will adjust
billing appropriately.
