Shared unmetered plans are, by their nature, shared among several clients. Acceptable use of the shared unmetered port product line is limited to usage that does not interfere with other clients on the same line. Expected sustained throughput is approximately 30-40% of the port capacity. Sustained usage higher than that may result in traffic shaping or rate limiting the port, at Edish's sole discretion.

VPS, dedicated server, and colocation DDOS mitigation plans are intended for normal patterns of usage. Clients may not initiate attacks against their own servers to 'stress test' the DDOS protection. Attacks that are network impacting are subject to null routing or other necessary measures to prevent interference to the service Edish provides to other clients.
