\u201cFNB\u2019s fair use policy has been put in place to ensure that FNB Connect customers have a good user experience and that the network performance during peak periods is not compromised.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cParticipants who reach their cap may experience speed degradation due to throttling on bandwidth-intensive applications such as BitTorrent traffic via peer-to-peer and news servers protocols.\u201d<\/p>\n
