WTC does not undertake to originate data, but offers the use of its service components, where available, to Customers for the purpose of transporting customer- originated data.

 

DSL Service is provided subject to availability and limitations of WTC’s central office and outside plant facilities, and is only available where technical capabilities permit.

 

WTC will not provision DSL service if WTC reasonably determines that it is not technically feasible over existing facilities or that will cause interference problems with existing service.

 

During network maintenance and software update periods, it may be necessary for WTC to interrupt DSL service. WTC reserves the right to temporarily interrupt DSL service at other times and in emergency situations.

The Customer is responsible for preventing illegal access to their computers and network.

 

The Customer shall maintain an Acceptable Use Policy with subscribers that forbids abuse and fraudulent use of WTC’s DSL Services.
