Terms & Conditions

Service Specific Terms & Conditions (“SSTC”) – Data Roam Pass

4 February 2016

    1.

Maxis believes that all internet users should be responsible in their usage and how it affects other users.
    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 1%) of customers use a very large portion (about 30%) of bandwidth based on our data and that from other broadband service providers.
    3.  If the customer needs a 1:1 service and exclusive access to their bandwidth then the customer will need an internet leased line where there is no contention until the World Wide Web router.
    4. To overcome this biasness, this Policy is in place to ensure all Maxis' customers have a good experience.
