SkyNet Network Management Policy

Last Updated: 09/29/2024
SkyNet treats internet traffic equally and does not discriminate based on content, sender, application, or service provided via the Internet network. SkyNet engages in reasonable network management practices to ensure the overall integrity and quality of service for all customers.
We make the following disclosures regarding our network practices.
Blocking.  Any practice (other than reasonable network management elsewhere disclosed) that blocks or otherwise prevents end user access to lawful content, applications, service, or non-harmful devices, including a description of what is blocked.
  • SkyNet does not block or prevent end-user access to lawful content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices.
Throttling.  Any practice (other than reasonable network management elsewhere disclosed) that degrades or impairs access to lawful Internet traffic on the basis of content, application, service, user, or use of a non-harmful device, including a description of what is throttled.
  • SkyNet does not degrade or impair access to lawful internet traffic based on content, application, service, user, or the use of a non-harmful device, while we implement reasonable throttling measures to ensure overall network performance and stability.
Affiliated Prioritization.  Any practice that directly or indirectly favors some traffic over other traffic, including through use of techniques such as traffic shaping, prioritization, or resource reservation, in exchange for consideration, monetary or otherwise.
  • SkyNet does not engage in affiliated prioritization.
Paid Prioritization.  Any practice that directly or indirectly favors some traffic over other traffic, including through use of techniques such as traffic shaping, prioritization, or resource reservation, in exchange for consideration, monetary or otherwise.
  • SkyNet does not engage in paid prioritization.
Application-Specific Behavior.  Blocks or rate-controls specific protocols or protocol ports, modifies protocol fields in ways not prescribed by the protocol standard, or otherwise inhibits or favors certain applications or classes of applications.
  • SkyNet Blocks specific ports or protocols to help prevent network attacks or malicious activities, but not on the basis of inhibiting or favoring certain applications or classes of applications. For example, closing commonly targeted ports (such as ports 22 and 23, used for remote login) can reduce the risk of being attacked.
Congestion Management
SkyNet monitors its network to detect and manage potential congestion issues. Customers may notice reduced download and upload speeds during congested periods. These periods typically occur in regions with high usage, especially during peak traffic times. By evaluating various metrics such as bandwidth consumption and traffic surges, SkyNet identifies these high-demand areas and implements measures to alleviate congestion.
To alleviate congestion, SkyNet may take steps such as upgrading network hardware, adding capacity, or segmenting traffic in affected areas. SkyNet does not impose general data caps, and there are no specific usage limits that automatically trigger congestion management practices. However, individual customers may have data plans that are limited based on their purchased capacity. These limits apply to the customer's plan but do not directly impact congestion management practices.
SkyNet does not manage congestion based on individual online activities, protocols, or applications, but focuses on high-usage areas to minimize the overall impact and ensure equitable access to network resources.
Device Attachment Rules
To maintain network security and ensure device compatibility, SkyNet has certain restrictions and approval procedures for devices connecting to the network. Firstly, the network may restrict specific types of devices, such as only allowing company-issued devices or certain categories of devices. All devices must run approved operating systems with the latest security patches and meet network security standards. Before connecting, devices typically need to complete registration and undergo an authentication process, such as using VPNs or multi-factor authentication to verify their legitimacy. Devices may also undergo a security assessment to ensure they meet our security requirements. For new or unrecognized devices, users need to submit a connection request, which the IT department will review and configure to ensure the device complies with network security policies. For guest devices, SkyNet usually simplifies the approval process by providing temporary credentials or access codes, but basic security measures are still enforced.
SkyNet may restrict the number of devices a customer can connect to the Wi-Fi Access Services, and devices will be automatically disconnected after extended periods of inactivity. If SkyNet detects any device that poses a security risk or could potentially damage the integrity of the network, SkyNet reserves the right to disconnect that device to the extent possible. Customers must use compatible devices when connecting to the network or accessing SkyNet's online platform to access certain subscribed services.
Security
To ensure the security of end users and the network, SkyNet implements a series of measures. For end users, SkyNet uses multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access control (RBAC) to ensure that only authorized users can access network resources. SkyNet also enforces device management policies to ensure that all devices meet the latest security standards and encrypt data in transit and at rest. The security mechanisms take automated actions based on triggering conditions. For example, when abnormal traffic patterns or unauthorized access attempts are detected, the system triggers alerts and takes defensive actions such as locking accounts or blocking suspicious traffic. Additionally, if malware is detected or a device fails compliance checks, the system immediately implements appropriate security measures.
Customers are required to adhere to our Acceptable Use Policy and Service Agreement when using our services, which include, but are not limited to, ensuring that they do not abuse or use the network in a way that could be harmful to the network and other customers.
Performance Characteristics
Service Description
SkyNet starts by building a Fiber PoP (Point of Presence) and connecting a select group of homes to build the framework of our network. Then, we expand the network by connecting more homes, which helps to fill in gaps and strengthen coverage. SkyNet service operates unlicensed spectrum, ensuring a reliable and cost-effective broadband solution.
Service Technology
SkyNet deploys fixed wireless technology, which involves the transmission of internet data between network base stations and customers’ premises via wireless signals. Customers access the internet through a receiver mounted on their premises, which communicates with our local towers connected to high-capacity fiber backhaul or nearby customers’ deployed devices.
Expected and Actual Access Speeds
  • Expected Download Speed: 100 Mbps to 300 Mbps
  • Expected Upload Speed: 20 Mbps to 50 Mbps
  • Actual Speed (Varies by Location and Conditions): While SkyNet strives to maintain the above speeds, actual performance may vary based on several factors, such as distance from the base station, line-of-sight, weather conditions, and network demand.
Latency
  • Expected Latency: 25ms to 50ms
  • Actual Latency: Our service typically maintains latency within the expected range, providing a smooth and responsive internet experience. Latency may fluctuate due to environmental conditions and traffic congestion.
Suitability for Real-Time Applications
SkyNet service is well-suited for real-time applications such as video conferencing and online gaming, The combination of low latency and consistent speeds ensures minimal interruptions during live interactions. For optimal performance, particularly for high-demand applications like 4K video streaming or complex multiplayer gaming, users may need to be within a closer range to our base stations or use upgraded service plans.
Commercial Terms
SkyNet provides different internet service options, such as monthly subscriptions, fixed-term plans, equipment installation and rental or purchase, maintenance, and other one-time services.
