Service Plan

All service plans are prepaid for a period of 30 days. Payment is required at the end of the service plan term in order to renew your services.

No Connection / Modem Issues

Basic Internet Troubleshooting

The next step for any connectivity issues is to power cycle your modem/router. To power cycle your modem/router, please follow these steps:

Locate your modem and make sure some of the lights are on. Even if they are red or blinking, we first need to know that the modem is getting power from the outlet. If there are no lights on please make sure the power cable is securely fastened to your outlet and to the back of the modem. If the cable is secure and no lights are on you will need to try another nearby outlet or resolve the outlet power issue.

If the lights are on but you are still not connected to the Internet take note of which lights are on and their color (solid green, blinking green, yellow, red, blinking red). Write this information down to help our technicians diagnose your issue faster.

Carefully unplug your modem from the power outlet and wait 20 seconds. Plug the modem back in and wait 2 minutes for the modem to completely reboot and reconnect.

Reboot your computer or disconnect your devices and then reconnect them to the WiFi network. Try to browse to a new site or connect to a web service such as Facebook.

Wi-Fi gateway issues

Wi-Fi gateway

You can fix many common internet issues by rebooting your Wi-Fi® gateway. Here’s how:

Unplug the power cord from the back of your gateway or modem. If you have:

An internal battery backup, remove it. DSL service, also unplug your telephone cord from your modem or gateway.

Wait 20 seconds.

Put the internal battery back in, if applicable.

Plug the power cord back in. If you have DSL service, reconnect the telephone cord too.

Wait up to 10 minutes for the gateway or modem to reboot and your Broadband light to blink green.

What is de-prioritization?

As a direct consequence of the repeal of Net-Neutrality, carriers use “data de-prioritization” as a way to manage limited bandwidth in densely populated areas with high data consumption (cities, for example). Users with higher data usage (e.g. streaming) may experience de-prioritization during peak times. Data de-prioritization is intended not only to allow lower data users to enjoy high speed data but also to ensure network bandwidth is available for emergency services and other high-priority traffic . Fortunately, de-prioritization usually only occurs for short periods of time (a matter of minutes or hours), not until the end of the billing cycle.

Why am I experiencing lower speeds?

Another way carriers manage networks is to reduce data speeds after X amount of data has been consumed. All carriers reserve the right to reduce speeds after some typically unstated data limit, sometimes referred to as a soft data cap, whether or not the limit is made clear to the to us or to the user. Again, the loss of net neutrality gives the carriers broad-ranging rights to do what they deem best. Unlike de-prioritization, the type of network traffic (whether streaming, web browsing, or email) nor network load in your area are considered. In this case, data speed may be slightly reduced regardless once the soft data cap is reached within the current billing cycle. For this reason, it is recommended to follow our guide on practical ways to conserve data usage and ensure you have a good usage experience.

What is the data limit? Is it truly “Unlimited”?

Although the carriers do not provide hard data caps or limits of potential usage in the description of the plans they provide, algorithms monitor the networks constantly for traffic and congestion issues. 4G LTE data plans are provisioned on a shared network and the carriers guard against any one user detrimentally impacting other users. The carriers will act to control this detrimental impact by slowing speeds, restricting use, and worst case, canceling service without warning or notice as they see fit.Unlimited does not mean unlimited data at unlimited speeds. Nor does it include super-heavy usage (e.g. uploading or downloading games, game updates, or large files in a short time period). These plans typically provide a reasonable amount of data usage in a steady, moderate usage pattern. Carriers continuously monitor their networks for “spikes” in data usage which they may see this as a malicious attack on their network. As a result, carriers seek to mitigate such “attacks” by limiting traffic identified as potentially harmful and therefore degrading to the quality of their service (see de-prioritization). To avoid this situation, we recommend to always use data wisely and treat it like a utility. Moderate, steady usage is best. Fair Usage PolicyU2C fair usage policy (“FUP”) is designed to prevent fraud and abuse of our products as well as provide the best internet experience to all of our customers it prevents the actions of internet hungry and heavy-users from abusing normal users’ right to high-speed access to international content. U2C products are for individual use only following the U2C Services Agreement and this FUP (“Legitimate Use”). The following is a non-exhaustive list of practices that would not be considered Legitimate Use:

Re-selling bandwidth Sharing subscriptions between users whether wirelessly or wired to multi-tenant facilities

Using service to download, view or access illegal materials such as torrents, copywritten materials, the content of adult nature that involves minors, bestiality, or violent Unusual bandwidth usage patterns inconsistent with normal, individual subscription use, for example, constant streaming for extended periods

Data users for First Person Gamers and Bitcoin Miners can use TB (terabytes – 1024GB) of data in a fraction of a month reducing the bandwidth available to you as the average user. This type of data hogging is not permitted on our network and those abusive user situations will be warned and deprioritized until their next monthly data usage recycle date.

Why a Fair Usage Policy?

A very small number of customers use an excessive amount of the network bandwidth, to the extent that it can impair the experience of others. U2C Fair Usage Policy intends to provide the optimum internet experience to all customers.

What happens in Fair Usage Policy?

Under the policy we have defined fair usage levels for unlimited data transfer plans and needless to mention, the usage levels set are very generous such that most customers will not be affected by the Fair Usage Policy. On reaching the fair usage level, you will be contacted by a U2C representative to discuss your usage to determine whether the network is being abused or your computer been infected with a virus or malware. If your computer has become infected your service will be suspended until the malicious software is removed from your computer. You can find a local provider to remove the virus/malware from your computer or our professional services team can assist for a fee. Other practices may be relevant in determining Legitimate Use and U2C reserves the right to take any unlawful, prohibited, abnormal, or unusual activity into account in making its determination. U2C may at its option, terminate or suspend its relationship with you, and your use of any U2C product immediately if it determines you are using the product contrary to this FUP.
