Gecko Networks Fair Use Policy
The Fair Use Policy of Gecko Network is designed to enhance the overall user experience for all our internet users. By regulating and moderating international bandwidth usage, we aim to safeguard the rights of all users to high-speed access to international content and prevent bandwidth abuse.
Bandwidth Monitoring and Regulation: During peak usage times, our Fair Use Policy may limit the connection speed of users who have excessively utilized international bandwidth, ensuring that others can also access their fair share of the bandwidth. We reset all monitored bandwidth usage on a monthly basis to ensure equitable access for all. While your data usage is unlimited and there are no additional charges for exceeding any limits, we reserve the right to manage excessive data consumption to ensure a positive experience for all our users.
Typical Data Consumption:
- The average household of four members typically uses 300-500GB of data monthly for activities like browsing, video streaming, emails, and cloud storage.
- High-intensity users such as gamers and Bitcoin miners can consume several terabytes in a short time, thereby reducing bandwidth for others. Such heavy usage is discouraged on our network. Users engaging in such activities will receive warnings and may experience reduced data speeds until their next monthly data reset.
Streaming Recommendations:
- Streaming in 720P/1080i rather than HD/4K can significantly reduce bandwidth consumption without compromising on viewing quality. For instance:
- A 2-hour movie streamed in HD/4K might use 14-20GB, translating to 7-10GB/hour.
- The same movie streamed in 720P/1080i would only use 2-4GB, equating to 1-2GB/hour.
- For mobile devices, due to smaller screen sizes, the resolution is less critical. When streaming or viewing videos, consider opting for lower resolutions. For instance, 480i resolution uses around 40-60MB per clip, depending on the clip’s duration.
Conclusion: Gecko Networks is committed to providing an optimal internet experience for all our users. We appreciate your understanding of our efforts to maintain fair bandwidth distribution for all.
Thank you for responsibly utilizing Gecko Network’s internet services.
