Internet Service Description
Nsight Telservices offers residential and commercial customers their choice of a variety of broadband Internet access service tiers, each of which offers varying speeds and features that may affect the suitability of such service for real-time applications. The features, pricing and other commercial terms of our service offerings are modified from time to time and not all packages are available in all areas. Each package is priced to reflect the particular speed and features of that package.
The FCC requires that we disclose information regarding the expected and actual speed and latency of our Internet access service offerings. Nsight Telservices provisions its customers’ modems and engineers its network to maximize our customers’ ability to receive the maximum speed levels for each tier of service. However, Nsight Telservices does not guarantee that a customer will achieve those speeds at all times. Like all other Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Nsight Telservices advertises its speeds as “up to” a specific level based on the tier of service to which a customer subscribes. The “actual” speed a subscriber experiences may vary based on a number of factors and conditions, many of which are beyond the control of an ISP such as Nsight Telservices. These conditions include:
WiFi Performance
Customer understands that WiFi utilizes public, unlicensed radio-frequency spectrum. As such, WiFi within your home or business is subject to external interferences, environmental influences, and other factors and variables beyond our reasonable control. Performance and availability may vary, including but not limited to or affected by,
We are not responsible for data lost or misdirected due to these and other foreseeable and unforeseeable factors. Network speed is an estimate based off direct hard-wired connection to your provided router and is no indication of the speed at which your WiFi device or WiFi will operate.

Nsight provides the demarc device on all Internet connections. In special cases, customers may request that we “bridge” the provided device. In this case, there is no restriction on the type of the device used on the customer side of the bridge.
Nsight does not normally monitor the traffic of its customers. It undertakes no obligation to monitor or protect such customer traffic from spam, viruses, denial-of-service attacks, or other malicious, unlawful or unwanted activities.
Our network employs metrics which determine whether there is a Denial of Service or similar attack hitting the network. During the time of such attacks inbound and outbound traffic filtering techniques will be employed to avoid network congestion and other network degradation. If any network traffic appears to be a malicious attempt to disrupt the network, such as by e-mail spamming or otherwise, corrective action will be taken and network information may be transmitted to the appropriate law enforcement agency for investigation and possible criminal prosecution under various computer hacking laws.
A customer that is subjected to a denial-of-service attack, or similar malicious, unlawful or unwanted activity, is urged to notify Nsight as soon as possible. Nsight will work with the customer, other service providers, federal and state regulators, and/or law enforcement to determine the source of such activity, and to take appropriate, and technically and economically reasonable efforts to address the matter.
The Company uses a hybrid fiber optic and copper digital subscriber line (“DSL”) network that reaches approximately 90 percent of the potential customers in its rural service area, and a fiber-to-the-home (“FTTH”) network that reaches approximately 10 percent of such customers. The company uses fiber optic and an MPLS network to service select businesses. The expected access speeds in the DSL portions of the network range from 1 megabits per second (“Mbps”) to 75 Mbps, depending upon the actual lengths of the respective fiber trunks and copper lines. The expected access speeds in the FTTH portion of the network range from 1 Mbps to 250 Mbps based upon product. The access speeds in the MPLS network range from 6 Mbps to 100,00 Mbps based upon the product.
Actual access speeds and time delays (latency) are impacted by the length, capacity and congestion of Middle Mile transport facilities (between the Company’s service area and Internet nodes) as well as the characteristic of the Company’s own network. Because conditions on these facilities and routes can change frequently, the Company can provide estimated actual access speed and latency information only for specific recent time periods requested by a customer.
Impact of Non-Broadband Internet Access Service Data Services
If a customer subscribes to Nsight Digital TV, Internet broadband speed may be impacted due to the bandwidth utilized by Nsight Digital TV.
