Billing FAQ

What internet package is right for me?

  • All of our packages are designed to allow for:
    • Web surfing
    • Checking emails
    • Sending and receiving pictures
    • VOIP, Skype, etc.
    • Peer to Peer and other video type web based activities
  • The main difference between packages is the speed at which you can do each of these.
  • VOIP service would see better service with Extreme or above.
  • We strongly encourage Gamers, and heavier users of Peer to Peer to use our Extreme or Ultimate packages to maximize their performance and satisfaction.

What is Velocity Networks policy on “peer to peer” file sharing?

See Velocity Networks Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions

Peer to Peer is a part of the internet world, there are many forms of Peer to Peer that are completely legal. We believe that it is not our responsibility or right to restrict what our clients do with their internet service.

Because Peer to Peer can take up massive amounts of bandwidth and could negatively effect the quality of service to other customers we reserve the right during extremely high bandwidth use times to give highest priority of service in this order:

  1. VOIP, Email
  2. Web Surfing
  3. Peer to Peer Sharing

This is designed to make sure all customers get the best possible service.

Please understand that it is not our goal to be restrictive but to give best service possible to all clients, and to make sure that bandwidth is available to our clients when they need it.
