Unlimited access means you can stay connected to our system as long as you are in front of your computer actively using the connection. This use includes sending and receiving mail, downloading files, surfing the web and using Internet Relay Chat.
We expect that you will disconnect your modem from ours when you are not actively using the computer. If we find that your system is idle (not sending or receiving data) for fifteen minutes, our modems will automatically disconnect. Additionally, our modems will automatically disconnect after approximately twelve hours of continuous connected time.
Using auto-dialers and programs that send small amounts of data to mimic the appearance of activity is strictly forbidden. If we discover you are using one of these programs, we reserve the right to terminate your account without warning.
If you need a dedicated dialup connection, NetConnect provides it as a separate service. Please contact NetConnect at (541) 298-4638 for more information.
What exactly does "unlimited access"
mean?
You must be sitting in front of your computer and actively using
the Internet.
Can I stay connected while my computer repeatedly
checks for email?
No. You can not stay connected all day while your computer continuously
checks for email or any other data retrieving usage like push
technology or continuous stock quotes, chat or ICQ. You can not
use any programs that simulate active usage.
Unsolicited Email (Commercial or Otherwise)
NetConnect will not tolerate any user sending even a single unsolicited
email message to another customer of NetConnect or to any user
of any other online service. NetConnect reserves the right to
define "unsolicited email" on a case-by-case basis.
Our definitions are not open to interpretation. NetConnect will
close accounts belonging to users who violate this policy without
prior warning. In addition, the user will continue to be responsible
for any outstanding balance on their account, even after termination
of the account(s).
Hacking
Under no circumstances will we tolerate the use of NetConnect's
internet access services as a medium to hack into our system,
or any other. If you are caught using our system for this purpose,
we will permanently terminate your account(s) without warning,
and if serious enough we reserve all rights to monitor and turn
over to authorities any unauthorized or illegal activities.
