Performance
Aureon is the internet upstream provider for Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. Aureon offers a speed test site to any user or customer. It can be accessed here: INS Speed Test or http://aureon.speedtestcustom.com/ These tests are heavily dependent on a customer's home network configuration, router, and devices, and therefore do not reflect the performance of the Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. network only.
Your Internet Service Speeds
Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. provides residential and commercial customers with a variety of high speed Internet plans from which to choose, ranging from our initial tier (with download speeds up to 100 megabits per second ("Mbps"), and upload speeds up to 100 megabits per second ("Mbps")) to our top tier (with download speeds up to 500 Mbps, and upload speeds up to 500 Mbps). Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. provisions its customers' routers if leased and engineers its network to ensure that its customers can enjoy the speeds to which they subscribe. However, Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. does not guarantee that a customer will actually achieve those speeds at all times. Without purchasing an expensive, dedicated Internet connection, no Internet Service Provider ("ISP") can guarantee a particular speed at all times to a customer. Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. advertises its speeds as "up to" a specific level based on the tier of service to which a customer subscribes.
The "actual" speed that a customer will experience while using the Internet depends upon a variety of conditions, many of which are beyond the control of an ISP such as Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. These conditions include:
This is the reason that Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc., like all other ISPs, advertises speeds as "up to" a particular level, and does not guarantee them.
There are other speed tests that measure Internet performance. We have provided links to a few of these sites below for your reference. Please note, however, that all speed tests have biases and flaws. Each of these tests measures limited aspects of an ISP's speed and therefore must be seen as a guide rather than definitive measurements of performance.
Latency
Latency is another measurement of Internet performance. Latency is the time delay in transmitting or receiving packets on a network. Latency is primarily a function of the distance between two points of transmission, but also can be affected by the quality of the network or networks used in transmission. Latency is typically measured in milliseconds, and generally has no significant impact on typical everyday Internet usage. As latency varies based on any number of factors, most importantly the distance between a customer's device and the ultimate Internet destination (as well as the number and variety of networks your packets cross), it is not possible to provide customers with a single figure that will define latency as part of a user experience.
Congestion Management
Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. does not implement any congestion management techniques. Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. operates our network to accommodate the necessary traffic requirements. In the event of congestion, all traffic is classified as best effort.
Our congestion management approach will change over time, as we continue to study and enhance our practices and as new technologies emerge. In the meantime, we will continue to invest in our network in accordance with our normal course of business operations, which includes installing technology that will increase the speed and capacity of our services.
Content, Applications, Service and Device Providers
As a full service Internet Service Provider, Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. delivers a variety of Internet-based applications. These include:
Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. does not discriminate any customer traffic. Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. utilizes the network management techniques that are equal and standard across all user applications. We do not modify our network to make our directly served applications perform better than applications a user would access over the general Internet. For example, Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. does not manipulate our network to perform better for customers accessing Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. email servers versus Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. customers accessing Google’s gmail.
The network management practices employed by Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. do not differ between our directly offered applications to those general applications offered over the Internet.
Security Measures
In the event of Denial of Service (DoS), Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, spoofing or other malicious traffic, Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. will implement inbound and outbound filtering on specific hosts. These actions will be performed to ensure reliability and availability of the Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. Network. These actions will not be utilized for normal Internet applications and traffic.
NOTE: Aureon may perform this action on behalf of Radcliffe Telephone Company, Inc. equipment that is managed by Aureon.
