In cases where Subscriber utilizes an egregious amount of data usage per billing cycle (more than 2x the “average use”), SkyHi reserves the right to limit or throttle speeds and restrict access to Subscriber Services upon written or verbal notice. SkyHi will work with Subscriber to find solutions to excessive data usage that negatively affects the SkyHi Network.
