The service includes unlimited bandwidth but only for game traffic and excludes massive multiplayer online games (MMOG/MMORPG's). Any use of the server beyond this purpose such as file sharing is strictly prohibited and may lead to immediate termination of service without refund. Please note, we do allow for the installation of applications such as MySQL and Apache which various stat add-ons require as well voice comms such as Teamspeak or Ventrilo.

This package allows bandwidth usage up to 15Mbit 95th Percentile through the month. Please note, we in no way cap or restrict any ports.
