Hi James, Thanks for sharing, I will read through it for compliance and future reference In principle I am usually very leery about the idea of an ISP determining “Intended usage” for internet users. I think it just sounds not right. Leave alone the Server monitoring clause gives the ISP a wide range of authorities powers over one’s transmitted content. *"Service Monitoring* *JTL is under no obligation to monitor a customer's usage, bandwidth, transmissions and/or content of service. However, JTL may monitor the usage, bandwidth, transmissions and content of service periodically to (i) comply with any necessary laws, regulations or other governmental requests or (ii) operate service properly or to protect itself, its network and its customers and subscribers. JTL Faiba reserves the right to modify, reject or eliminate any information residing on or transmitted to its server that it, in its sole discretion, believes is unacceptable or in violation of this AUP or any other terms and provisions applicable to service."* On Mon, Oct 1, 2018 at 10:23 PM James Wanjau <bkwanjau@gmail.com> wrote:

Read up on data caps- just ISPs' way of telling you to temper your appetite for data

And JTL have been doing it for a while:

Hey folks,
Please see the below exchange between me and my ISP. They did not get back to me after my reply and the internet was not interred with since then . Is it legal for ISPs to cut service based on such justifications.

Dear Mike Please send me a copy of the "fair use policy", I hope it contains a clear definition of the intendned purposes. Because I don't recall signing or consenting to such an agreement. Regards Nelson
