Disclaimer:
Internet based Speed Tests are not 100% accurate. They
are meant to give you a rough example of what the average speed your
connection to the internet is capable of handling. The speed that you
experience can be influenced by a number of factors including the number
and quality of networks the information is routed over before reaching
our network and being passed on to you. Speeds represented here are
measurements from your PC to a server hosted by Cable & Wireless,
and this produces a faster result than when accessing other ISP’s tests
as various networks must be crossed in order to reach them. Proxy servers
and firewalls may affect results. File downloads should be suspended
before testing. Results do not include network overhead (10%-20%).
Broadband internet access is a shared service and the
activities of some users can impact the services available to other
users. Unfortunately, some users take a disproportionately greater share
of the available bandwidth and, as a consequence, other users suffer
a diminished experience. In order to preserve the quality of our broadband
internet access services, Cable & Wireless reserves the right to
monitor the performance of our network, and to restrict the amount of
bandwidth available to users of applications that consume large amounts
of bandwidth or who download unusually large files in order to ensure
a fair allocation of bandwidth to all Customers. If a Customer exceeds
the usage associated with the relevant broadband internet access package
that such user is on, C&W will not be liable to such user for the
quality, integrity or continuation of the broadband.
While Cable & Wireless aims to avoid any unfair
disruption of services resulting from extreme peer-to-peer usage, other
file-sharing software and download of very large files, we do not prevent
the use of such applications or downloads. Customers that do not use
peer-to-peer or file-sharing software or download very large files continuously
are unlikely to be affected by this policy.
Additionally, as C&W upgrades its broadband capabilities,
users will be able to experience different contents enabled by higher
access speeds. Cable & Wireless reserves the right to introduce
explicit download limits (measured in Gigabytes), or charges for excess
usage to some broadband internet access packages in order to enable
us to manage the broadband customer experience. Below you will find
some useful guidance on the amounts of data associated with typical
