Internet congestion and latency experienced beyond the Ponderosa Internet network is outside the control of the provider. All concerns with broadband data rates should be reported to Ponderosa Internet by calling 559.868.6000.
NETWORK MANAGEMENT
Ponderosa Internet monitors and manages the shared network bandwidth to provide users with broadband experiences consistent with the products they have purchased. At times network congestion may occur and when it does, packets can be dropped or delayed which may result in service degradation. Because the network is shared by all users, Ponderosa Internet reserves the right to implement traffic management policy during periods of peak demand. Ponderosa Internet does take measures to protect its network. Generally, Ponderosa Internet does not interfere with the use of specific protocols or ports. In the interest of network security Ponderosa Internet does block all incoming DNS queries through Port 53 not destined for the Ponderosa Internet DNS Servers. Customers who wish to utilize Port 53 can contact Ponderosa Internet at 559.868.6000 to request access. Additionally, all inbound and outbound Ponderosa Internet email traffic is filtered through our email server virus protection. This virus protection cannot be removed. Each customer email account is provisioned with a SPAM filter which the user can control through an administration portal.
DEVICE ATTACHMENT
There are no restrictions on the lawful devices a customer may connect to the Ponderosa Internet network. If a customer chooses to use their own Internet Gateway it must be compliant with any transmission protocol currently in use in the network. The customer is strongly advised to contact Ponderosa Internet to determine which protocol is in use at your service location. Ponderosa Internet assumes no responsibility for the network compatibility, performance or technical support of customer provided equipment not purchased or rented from Ponderosa Internet.
