Question 12

Net Management Policy

Accepted Answer

Pursuant to the Federal Communications Commission’s Restoring Internet Freedom Declaratory Rules, Report and Order and Order, Accipiter Communications Inc. d/b/a Zona Communications (“Provider”) policies regarding network management practices, performance characteristics, and commercial terms are provided in entirety so that Provider’s current customers, prospective customers, third-party content providers and other interested parties can make informed choices regarding the broadband Internet access services offered by Provider, and the extent Provider’s network management practices may affect those services. Network Management Practices   In the interest of providing the best online experience possible for all of Provider’s customers, Provider utilizes reasonable network management practices tailored to achieve legitimate network management purposes. Because bandwidth is a limited resource for broadband Internet service providers, it is essential that Provider reasonably manages its network to promote the use and enjoyment of the Internet by all of Provider’s customers. By engaging in reasonable and responsible network management, Provider uses its best efforts to deter its customers from being subjected to the negative effects of spam, viruses, security attacks, network congestion, and other risks that threaten to degrade service. The network management practices employed by Provider are consistent with industry standards. Congestion Management   It is possible that a relatively small number of customers may place a disproportionate demand on the network bandwidth resources, causing network congestion and an overall degradation in service quality for other end users. For this reason, if Provider’s network nears a state of congestion, Provider will use congestion management practices to ensure all of Provider’s customers retain access to a “fair share” of bandwidth resources. When Provider’s network nears a state of congestion, the congestion management tools, practices and/or software employed by Provider will identify segments of the Provider network which have a predetermined, aggregated level of bandwidth usage. From there, the congestion management tools will ascertain which customer account in the identified network segment is using a disproportionate share of the bandwidth. The Internet traffic of the identified customer account may be temporarily managed until the period of network congestion passes. Customers whose Internet traffic is temporarily managed by Provider will still be able to do anything they want online, and many activities will be unaffected; however, These customers may experience slower downloads and uploads and Internet/website response times. The congestion management practices utilized by Provider are “protocol-agnostic” meaning that the network does not manage congestion based on the online activities, protocols or applications a customer uses. Rather, Provider’s congestion management practices focus only on the heaviest bandwidth users in real time. Application-Specific Behavior   Provider does not make use of any application-specific network management practices. Provider does not favor, modify, inhibit, rate control or block any specific protocols, protocol ports or fields, or any applications or classes of applications. Device Attachment Rules   In order for a device to be approved for use on the Provider’s network, the device must conform to publicly available industry standards and be non-harmful to Provider’s network. Security   Provider offers its customers unrestricted access to all of the lawful content, services, and applications available on the Internet. Provider uses industry standard tools and generally accepted best practices and policies to protect our customers from spam, phishing, and other unwanted or harmful online content and activities. In the instances where these tools and policies identify online content as harmful or unwanted, the content may be prevented from reaching customers, or customers may be permitted to identify or inspect content to determine if it is harmful or unwanted. Performance Characteristics   Provider offers broadband Internet access service via fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and digital subscriber line (DSL). The advertised speed of Provider’s Internet service is the maximum speed achievable with the technology utilized by Provider. While the maximum advertised speed is attainable for end users, several factors may affect the actual speed of Provider’s Internet service offerings, including, but not limited to: the distance of the consumer’s home or office from Provider’s central office (i.e., the further away the customer is from the central office, the slower the broadband speed), the end user’s computer, modem or router, activity during peak usage periods, and other Internet traffic. Based on internal testing, a customer with an adequately equipped broadband device should be able to regularly achieve at least 80% of the subscribed broadband rate at any time of the day or night. The actual speeds achieved with Provider’s Internet service offering make Provider’s Internet service suitable for real-time applications, such as Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”). Provider does not offer any specialized services. Commercial Terms   Pricing: In order to meet the usage and budgetary needs of all of our customers, Provider offers a wide selection of broadband Internet access plan options, including promotional offerings, bundled service choices, and à la carte alternatives. To see Provider’s current promotions and pricing on broadband Internet access service, please visit our website (zona.flywheelsites.com), or call 623-455-4555 to speak with a customer service representative. Early Termination Fees: If a customer previously entered into a service agreement with Provider for broadband Internet access service for a defined service term, and customer desires to terminate the service agreement prior to the expiration of that term, Provider may charge a reasonable early termination fee if such fee is clearly indicated in the service agreement. Usage-Based Fees: Provider’s Internet service is priced on a flat-fee basis (plus taxes). Provider does not charge end users a usage-based fee for Internet service. Privacy Policy   Provider affords full access to all lawful content, services and applications available on the Internet and does not routinely monitor, inspect or store the network activity and traffic of its Internet service users. However, Provider reserves the right to monitor bandwidth, usage, transmissions and content for purposes of protecting the integrity of the network and Provider’s Internet access service through reasonable network management practices. Provider may collect equipment information to identify the equipment customer is using on the network, including, but not limited to: equipment type, serial number, settings, configuration and software. Provider may also collect performance information to examine the operation of the equipment, services and applications the customer may use on the network, including, but not limited to: IP addresses, URLs, data transmission rates and latencies, location information, security characteristics, and information about the amount of bandwidth and other network resources customer is using in connections with uploading, downloading or streaming data to and from the Internet. Network traffic, activity, performance information, and equipment information monitored or collected by Provider is done so for the sole purpose of reasonable network management purposes. Provider is required to comply with relevant laws, regulations and judicial orders. Information covered under this Privacy Policy, as well as other categories of information, may be disclosed to third parties if Provider determines, in its sole discretion, that such a disclosure is necessary or required. Provider may also disclose this information if, in its sole discretion, such a disclosure is necessary or required to protect our interests or the interests of our customers. Provider may also disclose this information in connection with the sale of our business. The Provider’s network management practices as discussed herein are intended solely to provide the best online experience possible for all of Provider’s customers by safeguarding our network and its users from spam, viruses, phishing, and other unwanted or harmful online content and activities. Provider’s network management practices are not intended, nor implemented, to block consumers from accessing the content and applications of their choice, deprive consumers of their entitlement to competition, or discriminate against or in favor of certain network traffic. End users with questions, concerns or complaints regarding Provider’s network management practices are encouraged to contact Provider for issue resolution. Contact Us   If you have any questions regarding Provider’s Network Management Practices Policy or would like to file a complaint with Provider regarding its network management practices, please contact Provider at: Zona Communications Attn: Network Operations – Network Management Department 28620 N. El Mirage Rd., Suite 101, Peoria AZ 85383 Phone: 623-455-4500 Fax: 623-455-4545 customerservice@teamzona.com zona.flywheelsites.com Further, if you believe that Provider is in violation of the FCC’s Open Internet Rules, you may file either an informal or formal complaint with the FCC. http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm Additional Disclaimers   The Open Internet Rules, as adopted, and Provider’s Network Management Practices Policy are not intended to affect, alter or otherwise supersede the legal status of cooperative efforts by broadband Internet access service providers and other service providers that are designed to curtail infringement in response to information provided by rights holders in a manner that is timely, effective, and accommodates the legitimate interests of providers, rights holders, and end users. Furthermore, the Open Internet Rules, as adopted, and Provider’s Network Management Practices Policy do not prohibit Provider from making reasonable efforts to address the transfer of unlawful content or unlawful transfers of content. For additional information, please review the Provider’s Acceptable Internet Use Policy/Subscriber Agreement.

Question 14

2017 AUSF Notice

Accepted Answer

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ARIZONA UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND & PROPOSED SURCHARGE INCREASE   DOCKET NO. RT-00000H-97-0137   On January 13, 2017, the Arizona Corporation Commission ("Commission") issued Decision No. 75919 to begin the process of amending the Arizona Universal Service Fund ("AUSF") rules to facilitate the construction of broadband infrastructure in largely rural areas in Arizona. The Commission and the Arizona Department of Education are partnering to take advantage of a recent and limited Federal Communications Commission's ("FCC") E-rate program that would allow Arizona to obtain federal matching funds to bridge the broadband “connectivity gap” for Arizona’s rural schools and libraries that do not have adequate internet capabilities. In 2015, 37 percent of Arizona school districts lacked internet capabilities consistent with the FCC's standard of 100 kilobits per second (0.1 Mbps) per student. Over 63 percent of these districts were located in rural Arizona.   Under the FCC's E-rate Modernization Orders, states are able to obtain, on a limited basis, additional benefits from the federal universal service E-rate program for schools and libraries if state matching funds for special construction broadband projects are provided. This program is of limited duration, and the Commission needs to take expedited action in order for schools and libraries in rural Arizona to start obtaining the benefits of this new program.   It is anticipated that this new program under the AUSF will provide a one-time distribution to qualifying Arizona schools and libraries of approximately $8 million in the aggregate. Currently, Arizona customers contribute to the AUSF through a monthly surcharge included in the telephone bills received from the customers' service providers. The adoption of this new program would likely increase the AUSF surcharge on each customer’s monthly bill. It is currently estimated that each customer would see an increase of approximately $0.15 per month for approximately one year, if the additional surcharge is collected over a one-year time frame. The actual amount of the surcharge increase could be higher or lower than this estimate.   If you have any questions concerning how amending the AUSF rules may affect your bill or have other questions about the AUSF rulemaking, you may contact your service provider at:   Zona Communications 2238 W. Lone Cactus Drive, Suite 100 Phoenix, AZ 85027 623-455-4500 info@teamzona.com   You may also call the Commission's Consumer Services Section, during regular business hours, at 602-542-4251 or 1-800-222-7000. Copies of all documents filed regarding the AUSF rulemaking are available during regular business hours from the Commission's Docket Control Center at 1200 West Washington Street, Phoenix, Arizona, and at any time on the Commission's website (www.azcc.gov) using the e-Docket function and Docket No. RT-00000H- 97-0137.   Written public comments regarding the AUSF rulemaking may be submitted at any time by mailing a letter referencing Docket No. RT-00000H-97-0137 to Arizona Corporation Commission, Consumer Services Section, 1200 West Washington Street, Phoenix, AZ 85007, or by submitting comments on the Commission's website (www.azcc.gov) using the "Submit a Public Comment for a Utility" function. Interested persons may also provide oral comment when the Commission considers this matter at an upcoming Open Meeting. The Commission's Open Meeting dates, schedules, and agendas are available on its website. If you require assistance, you may contact the Consumer Services Section during regular business hours at the numbers listed above.

Question 19

Battery Backup Disclosure

Accepted Answer

Backup Power for Home Phone Service during Power Outages   A backup power supply (battery) is required for your digital voice service to be in service in the event of a power outage. A backup battery will allow regular corded land line phones to work during a power outage and to maintain the ability to connect to 911 emergency services. When a power outage occurs, you should ensure that you have one corded single-line touchtone phone connected directly to the Wi-Fi gateway or your in-home wiring (wall jack) and the gateway connected directly to the Battery Backup Unit. If you connect a cordless phone, it will not function without a separate battery backup, and not all cordless phones are so equipped.   What Your Battery Can-and Can’t-Do for You   A backup battery allows you to continue to use your home voice service during a power outage. Without a backup battery, you will not be able to make any calls, including emergency calls to 911. A backup battery does not provide power to any service other than voice. Home security systems, medical monitoring devices and other equipment will not run on a home phone backup battery.   Purchase and Replacement Options   Backup battery replacements are available for purchase directly from Zona Communications. If you have any questions on how to request and obtain a replacement unit as well as instruction on the installation of the replacement unit, please call (623) 455-4555. If you decide to purchase a backup battery, you can purchase one through many of your local retailers or on-line. Be sure to purchase the battery model that matches the type of modem that you have.   Expected Backup Power Duration   The battery backup is expected to last up to 24 hours in the event of a power outage depending upon battery age, usage, and environment. The estimated life expectancy for the battery is 2-4 years depending on power outage frequency and environment.   Instructions for Proper Care and Use of Your Battery   Please follow the instructions included with your battery for proper use, storage, and care. Batteries should be stored in locations under normal room temperatures. You should periodically remove and test your battery to verify both operation of the backup battery and its condition. The battery backup unit can be tested by unplugging it from the power outlet. If it is working correctly, the Optical Network Terminal will remain powered and regular corded land line phones will still work in the house. Make sure to plug the unit back in at the end of testing. Battery backup units will display a battery light when the battery needs replaced. Please refer to the battery backup unit’s instruction manual for details on the warning indicator lights and the battery replacement procedure. Zona Communications does not supply any warranty on the battery backup unit. Please contact our office at (623) 455-4555 if you have any questions regarding backup power.

Question 20

What are my choices for Internet speed?

Accepted Answer

Selecting the speed you need depends largely on how you use your internet. Do you stream television content? Are there gamers in your house? How many devices are connected at one time? Devices include your tablets, PCs, television and all the cell phones that are connected to the WiFi.

Question 21

How many devices can I connect?

Accepted Answer

You can connect unlimited devices – but the internet speed coming into your house will determine how efficiently all those devices work for you. Each device draws on your total bandwidth. For example: if you have a 100 Mbps package, all of the devices connected to your WiFi will draw on that 100 Mbps. The more devices, the more split up the WiFi pie gets. Devices include your tablets, PCs, television and all the cell phones that are connected to the WiFi.

Question 22

How do I test my Internet speed?

Accepted Answer

You can test your speed here:   Understanding Your Internet Speed Test results: Mbps: Megabits per second. You need eight megabits per second to move a one megabyte file, i.e., bits move bytes.   Higher Mbps means faster transfer of files like digital photos.   Download Speed: This is the maximum amount of info (in megabytes) your computer can receive from the Internet in a given second.   Faster download speeds ensure smooth video and game streaming.   Upload Speed: The maximum amount of info (in megabytes) that your computer can send to the Internet in a given second.

Question 24

How is Fiber to the Home installed at my house?

Accepted Answer

Connecting your home to a next generation fiber optic network may be a slightly different installation process than you’ve experienced in the past. Below is a guide to help you understand what to expect.  Installation times vary depending on your home but typically take 2 – 4 hours. A fiber connection does not use a modem; instead, an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) will be installed at your home.  The ONT may be installed inside your home near the structured wiring panel, or in a ground level room/home office. The ONT might also be installed on the exterior of your home, typically near the electric service panel. Our installation technician will talk with you about the option that works best for you and your home. The ONT must be installed near a grounded power outlet. For outdoor installations, a power outlet may need to be installed by a licensed electrician. Various models of the equipment are in use and may differ slightly from the images on this site.

((links to managed wifi page)) If you have your own router or wish to purchase one, please make sure it is a router only. Router modem combos do not work with our fiber to the home service. If you are going to purchase a router, please be sure it is dual band router and is on the current Wi-Fi standard of 802.11ax also known as Wi-Fi 6. Our technicians will install the Zona Wyyerd router at no charge. Zona Wyyerd technicians can install your personal router for a fee.   It is important to have a router that is current with technology.  A majority of Internet issues reported by our customers arise from a router issue.

Question 33

What is entailed in an indoor installation vs outdoor?

Accepted Answer

Indoor Installation: Installations require a box to be mounted on the side of the home where your existing utilities are located. Here the fiber is brought inside to one location within the home. The fiber is then connected to an indoor unit which can be desk or wall mounted. The Indoor unit will provide one hardwired connection.   Outdoor Installation: Installations require a box to be mounted on the side of the home where your existing utility boxes are. We will need an existing power source for our unit. In some cases we can utilize a structured wiring panel. A router can be used to distribute the internet connection to the entire home.

What is GIG?

Accepted Answer

Our service areas with fiber-to-the-home are equipped for Arizona’s first gigabit broadband network, powered by Zona Wyyerd.

Zona Wyyerd’s fiber-optic gigabit connection matches the fastest residential Internet service available in the United States. This means everything you do on the Internet can happen faster – you spend less time waiting on files and more time enjoying your Internet content. The gigabit connection also provides plenty of bandwidth for multiple users, so every member of your family can be enjoying all of their Internet connected devices without bogging down your network.

Question 36

Why is my speed test slower than advertised speeds?

Accepted Answer

Possible Reasons:   Upload and Download speeds recorded at speed test servers account only for file data passed between the PC and the server. They do not account for the overhead required to pass that file data. Overhead typically amounts to about 15% of the total, so if a customer has a 20Mb/s link, the download speed would optimally be 17Mb/s, a 10Mb/s link should yield about 8.5Mb/s.  Each piece of the equipment in the link will have the effect of slowing the speed. This includes routers, switches, wireless access points, etc.  All of these products process and buffer data as it passes through them, resulting in lower speeds. That’s basically why a speed test server in a distant city will report slower results than a local server. Home routers and switches will also slow the speed, but if working properly, should have little effect. The PC or laptop being used to test speed will also affect speed results.  If the computer has a slow processor, limited memory, or has several processes running at the time of the speed test, results will be slower.If the Internet LED is not lit: Inside wire may have a poor connection, wire may be crimped, or compressed by a staple.  There is also a slight possibility of radio frequency interference. Your actual speed may be affected by the capability and age of your devices, the software you are using, the server of the site you are visiting, and the overall volume of internet traffic at any given moment. Running speed tests over WiFi will produce lower speed results than over a hardline connection. You will get the most optimal speeds when your computer or other device is using a hardwired connection.
