Introduction

  1. This Fair Usage Policy (“FUP”) sets out the acceptable level of conduct between YTL Broadband Sdn Bhd (“YTLB”) and its customers for the use of contended fixed broadband services such as  bhome and bbiz.  Under the contended fixed broadband services, YTLB’s Internet bandwidth is provisioned to be shared by its customers, active at any juncture of time.
  2. The objective of YTLB’s FUP are to (a) ensure its customers have a fair opportunity to enjoy and access the fixed broadband services and (b) prevent possible abuse or improper use of YTLB’s network resources by customers.
  3. Customers who wish to enjoy uncontended Internet services may subscribe to YTLB’s  Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) such as bbiz+. DIA service is without any contention up to its internet gateway.
  4. YTLB may, from time to time, change this FUP without further notice to its customers. Customers are required to access YTLB’s web page at https://www.ytlbroadband.my to determine any changes to this policy.
  5.  This FUP supplements YTLB’s Fixed Broadband Service Terms and Conditions available at https://www.ytlbroadband.my/terms.

Traffic Management

  1. At YTLB, customer satisfaction is our utmost priority. As such, this FUP is put in place to ensure that the majority of the customers do not suffer degradation of service and negative fixed broadband experience due to a very small number of high usage customers.
  2. As our priority is for all our customers to have a positive Internet experience, the emphasis is for all our customers to practice responsible usage of the bandwidth based on normal usage.
  3. Certain software/applications used to send and receive files may consume considerably large amount of bandwidth. These software/applications include but are not limited to peer-to-peer (P2P) software/applications (such as Bit Torrent, eDonkey, Gnutella) or file sharing software/applications (such as Limewire). The use of such software/applications may cause network congestion thereby causing negative impact on the Internet speed for other customers accessing the internet at the same time.
  4. YTLB’s network system is able to identify such high bandwidth consumption. Our traffic management policy is designed to cater for all our customers to have an optimal surfing experience whereby traffic prioritisation will be implemented to protect the quality of service for the majority of the customers in the usage of the fixed broadband service. Under this policy, YTLB will prioritize Internet activities like web browsing, live streaming, messaging applications and VOIP access while traffic to P2P sites will be given lower priority, due to the high bandwidth consumption of such services. Hence, this restriction is imposed to ensure that the best quality of fixed broadband is available to the maximum number of customers and to ensure fairness to all customers.
  5. As a fixed broadband service provider, YTLB only provides access to the Internet and does not guarantee content delivery and performance beyond YTLB’s network domain.

Unlawful Activities

  1. In using YTLB’s fixed broadband services, customers must abide by the laws of Malaysia and will not knowingly permit any illegal use or such use that will discredit YTLB.
  2. Customers are hereby cautioned that certain software/applications may allow for the download of illegal contents which infringe copyright and/or intellectual property rights. YTLB prohibits the download of such illegal contents by its customers. Customers shall be solely and fully liable and shall indemnify and keep YTLB indemnified in respect of any breach of such copyright and/or intellectual property rights.
  3. YTLB reserves the right to release customer information pursuant to any copyright and/or intellectual property right infringement if it is required to do so by any law, regulatory body or court of law.

Security

  1. Each customer is assigned with a user identification (“User ID”) and password to access the fixed broadband service and  shall be responsible for ensuring the confidentiality and security of  its own User ID and/or password at all times. It is the duty of the customer to take necessary steps to prevent unauthorised access to  its fixed broadband service.  The customer shall remain accountable for all access to its fixed broadband service via the customer’s User ID and/or password including but not limited to access of the service by unauthorised persons or by the Customer’s friend, family member or guest with permitted access to his/her service account .
  2. YTLB may request the customer to change its User ID and/or password if it is deemed necessary on the premises that the customer’s User ID and/or password may have been compromised.
  3. Each customer is responsible for the security of his/her own computer/servers/smart devices.
  4. YTLB strongly recommends that customers protect their computers/servers/smart devices with anti-virus software.
