In the case where we do share the data, the data is placed on a partner server, that is used only by Kaniksu to manage customer communications, allow for customer billing or assist with support issues.
• On a very limited basis, we may reach out to you from time to time to offer additional services.

It will also provide specifics on the plan purchased, the term of the agreement, and any penalties that may be associated with the agreement. We encourage you to review this document and let us know if you have any questions.

You can view the current version of this agreement online (below). The service dates, service price, and installation fee will vary by customer, based on the service plan they select, and the length of contract they choose.

Congestion Management

Kaniksu Internet uses smart traffic monitoring and QOS to manage potential congestion. All traffic is subject to management. The purpose of network management is to enhance the customer’s interactive internet experience and to allow all customers to enjoy the service to the greatest extent possible. The effects of such practices are minimal to the end user. We only use priorities, not limits. VoIP, interactive traffic and some others are given priority over non-interactive downloads other types of non-real time traffic. A set of smart filters is used to tag and control traffic based on an evolving rule set. No traffic is ever blocked or dropped, merely re-prioritized. At the current time congestion is very rare. We indicate congestion when a particular network segment approaches 90% of its usable capacity. Kaniksu Internet does not have usage limits or any consequences for exceeding them.

Application Specific Behavior

Kaniksu Internet does not block or rate-control any particular application or protocol. We do favor interactive applications over non-interactive applications. This allows VoIP calls and other high QOS applications to continue to function normally in the face of any possible congestion.

Device Attachment Rules

For our fixed wireless broadband service only approved customer premise equipment (CPE) radios can connect directly to the Kaniksu Internet network. For the customers in-house wireless or wired access, we have no restrictions.

Security Policies

Kaniksu Internet employs interactive firewall rules and NAT at our routers at the customer premise equipment (CPE). All radio transmissions in our network are encrypted with industry standard AES encryption.
