General - Terms & Conditions

Fair Usage Policy

1.Introduction

1.1 This Fair Usage Policy ("Policy") sets out an acceptable level of conduct between Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd ("Digi") and its registered customers ("Customers") using the internet services provided by Digi ("Digi Internet Services"). Digi believes that all Internet users including the Customers should be responsible in their usage and how it affects other users.

1.2 Whilst connection is "always on" for each Customer, the available bandwidth is shared by all Customers active at a particular point in time. A small portion (about 5-10%) of Customers use a very large portion (about 70-80%) of bandwidth based on Digi's data and that from other Internet service providers.

1.3 To overcome this biasness, this Policy is in place to ensure all Customers have a good experience.

1.4 Digi may, from time to time, change this Policy without further notice to its Customers. Please visit the Digi Internet web page periodically to review any changes made to this Policy.

1.5 This Policy supplements the Digi Internet Terms & Conditions and the General Terms & Conditions.
