The Federal Communications Commission issued rules to preserve the Internet as an open platform. These rules went into effect on November 20, 2011 and can be found at this link: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-09-23/html/2011-24259.htm. All Internet service providers are required to post information regarding various issues so that consumers, both residential and business, can make informed choices about choosing an Internet service provider. This document contains information regarding our services and in compliance with the FCC's rules. The policies contained herein serve as a supplement to the existing terms of service.

• Transparency. Fixed and mobile broadband providers must disclose the network management practices, performance characteristics, and terms and conditions of their broadband services;
• No blocking. Fixed broadband providers may not block lawful content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices; mobile broadband providers may not block lawful Web sites, or block applications that compete with their voice or video telephony services; and
• No unreasonable discrimination. Fixed broadband providers may not unreasonably discriminate in transmitting lawful network traffic.
• Reasonable network management. ISPs may engage in reasonable network management to maintain a high quality of service for broadband Internet access.

ISPs must disclose their network practices, specifically in the four general areas listed below. ISPs may not block lawful content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices, subject to reasonable network management. An ISP may not block consumers from accessing lawful Web sites, subject to reasonable network management; nor shall the ISP block applications that compete with the provider's voice or video telephony services, subject to reasonable network management. ISPs may not unreasonably discriminate in transmitting lawful network traffic over a consumer's broadband Internet access service, although, reasonable network management shall not constitute unreasonable discrimination. The FCC's rules state that a network management practice is reasonable if it is appropriate and tailored to achieving a legitimate network management purpose, taking into account the particular network architecture and technology of the broadband Internet access service.

Innova.net employs quality of service ("QOS") measures across its network. We do not enforce a usage limit on clients. Overall bandwidth is monitored and additional capacity is planned for at 50% load and implemented at 75% load of the network's capacity.

Innova.net is a supporter of the FCC's Net Neutrality principles and does not block nor rate-limit protocols or ports to clients. We use QOS measures on VoIP connections to ensure call quality.

Normally a client is allowed to connect any device they wish to their connection. If the device does not perform as the client expected, we attempt to provide support in a limited fashion after which point we inform the client of recommended/tested hardware known to work with the network.

We recommend hardware that supports NAT and Firewalls for end users. Innova.net uses industry-standard security mechanisms on its core network. Intrusion detection and countermeasures are in place and operations staff respond as appropriate for the type of threat.

ISPs must disclose the following network performance characteristics:

We provide DSL, T-1, Metro Ethernet and fiber optic broadband services. We utilize both copper and fiber as a technology to transmit IP traffic. Our speeds vary from 1.5 to 100Mbps and all are suitable for real-time applications such as VoIP services. Latency is only guaranteed on commercial services.

QOS is used on last mile to assure call quality. IPTV is supported for clients that have a 100 Mbps fiber connection to accommodate IPTV services and Internet service.

ISPs must disclose the commercial terms of its broadband Internet access service including those listed below.
