Examples of unacceptable use are:

- attempt to make more than one simultaneous connection of a single subscription to the Service;
- stay connected to the Service continuously for an unreasonable amount of time; or
- any other activity which would not be reasonably regarded as typical or ordinary use.
Very high usage, especially with relation to data voice services such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) can be caused by a virus or other external exploitation that is unknown to the user, and in some cases can cause the users network to be utilised for illegal activity.
If we detect usage patterns that suggest unacceptable use of the Service (subject to investigation and in our exclusive opinion):
- we will request that you reduce your usage; and
- Persistent (two or more) breaches of our Fair Use Policy may result in us terminating your Service.
