To ensure fair Internet access for all Agristar subscribers, Agristar, like all satellite broadband providers, maintains a Fair Access Policy (FAP). This policy establishes an equitable balance in Internet access for all Agristar subscribers. Based on an analysis of customer usage data, Agristar has established a download threshold for each of the service plans that is well above the typical usage rates. Subscribers who exceed that threshold will experience reduced download speeds for approximately 24 hours. During this recovery period, the Agristar service may still be used, but speeds will be slower. Web browsing, for example, will be significantly slower than subscribers’ normal browsing experience. Subscribers will return to normal download speeds after the recovery period as long as they minimize their bandwidth-intensive activities. Thresholds by service plan are shown below.

NOTE: From 3 a.m - 6 a.m. Eastern, no FAP policy is in effect. This would be a good time to do large file transfers or to set any automatic updates to download to your computer.
