From what I'm gathering, the AUP is intended to prevent a residential accounts using "commercial" services:
xiii. run programs or servers from the Premises that provide network content or any other services to others. Examples of prohibited programs include, but are not limited to, mail, ftp, http, game, newsgroup, proxy, IRC servers and multi-user interactive forums;
If you are bringing up a service for remote personal use (i.e. not to "others" but "for myself"), then we have a different interpretation. They don't want you running a business or a high traffic app on their system, and that's what I believe they mean by this. | |   digitalsamuraiinsigh

| I don't see that clause in my AUP, it certainly isn't in section 9, as indicated.
And, as far as inundating their network with traffic... Isn't that what the bandwidth limitation in-bound is for?
I know for a fact that I'm not using more than 128k of bandwidth, that's all they give me with my current plan.
This won't save them much bandwidth since they rate-limit us anyway, so I can only deduce that it is solely to get more money from us by trying to deem us commercial.

| 1)The current upload cap is at a min of 384k
2) The clause is there in the AUP read it again »www.insightbb.com/terms_conditio···ult.aspx
In the AUP Insight has reserved a extrememely broad range of right's in it...there are some in there that should bother a user...
Be fair (a) Customers may register for multiple Insight Broadband High Speed Broadband Internet Se *rvice accounts and e-mail addresses. Only one User may be logged into the Insight Broadban *d High Speed Broadband Internet Service for any single log-in I.D. at any time. In the eve *nt that more than one user is logged into an Insight Broadband High Speed Broadband Intern *et Service single log-in I.D. at any time, Insight may terminate such account immediately *and/or charge the Customer the full Standard price applicable to Insight Broadband High Sp *eed Broadband Internet Service Pricing (without any discount under any Insight Broadband H *igh Speed Broadband Internet Service offer) for each simultaneous User.
(*) WARNING 1 long line(s) split Only 1 user using the service at a time? and we dont use log-in's per as they represent it...
and most importantly..
(b) Monitoring and Removal of Content, Postings and Transmissions. Insight does not pre-sc *reen Content, postings or transmissions; however, Insight and its designees shall have the * right (but not the obligation) to monitor any and all traffic routed though the Insight B *roadband High Speed Broadband Internet Service, and in its sole discretion, may refuse, bl *ock, move or remove any Content, postings or transmissions that are made available via the * Insight Broadband High Speed Broadband Internet Service. Without limiting the foregoing, *Insight shall have the right to remove any Content, posting or transmission that violates *this Agreement or is otherwise objectionable. Insight also reserves the right to refuse to * upload, post, publish, transmit or store any information or materials, in whole or in par *t, that, in its sole discretion, is unacceptable, undesirable or in violation of this Agre *ement. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of an *y Content or materials, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulnes *s of such information. You also acknowledge that you may not rely on any Content created b *y us or submitted to us.
(*) WARNING 1 long line(s) split the right to MONITOR ANY TRAFFIC and refuse certain traffic ie Bittorrent or P2P in general...
I could have sworn there was some other garbage from Insight that say's we wont/dont monitor your action's on the web but I can't seem to find it right now...
But the right's are clearly defined in the AUP and give Insight a legal "get out of jail card" for certain activities...
A full AUP breakdown may be in order... | |
