Internet Speed Disclosure for Talkie Communications Inc.

Hardwired Ethernet Speeds:

All internet speeds advertised by Talkie Communications Inc. pertain to connections that are hardwired using Ethernet directly to the provided router. These speeds may not reflect the performance of wireless connections within the premises.

Best Effort Service:

The internet speeds we provide are based on a 'best effort' principle. This means that while we strive to provide consistent and high-quality service, various factors such as network congestion, maintenance works, and external interferences can occasionally affect the actual speed experienced by the customer.

"Up to" Speeds:

When we mention a speed, such as "up to 100 Mbps", it indicates the maximum potential speed for that particular package. It does not guarantee that such speeds will be consistently achieved. The actual speed a customer experiences can be less than the maximum speed of the chosen package due to factors mentioned above and inherent network overheads, which are the resources used by the network to manage and maintain the service delivery.

Testing Your Speed:

We recommend that customers test their internet speeds using our official speed test tool available at speedtest.Talkiefiber.com. For the most accurate representation of the service speed being delivered to your premises, use a device that is hardwired to the router when conducting the test.

Variability Factors:

  • Proximity to Router: For Wi-Fi connections, the closer you are to the router, the faster and more reliable the speed. As you move further away, the speed and signal strength can decrease.
  • Wi-Fi Mesh Systems: Using Wi-Fi mesh units can result in a performance drop. If the mesh system is entirely wireless, there could be a reduction in speed by up to 50%. While they can increase coverage, the trade-off can be in overall speed and performance.
  • Extenders: We do not recommend the use of extenders as they often lead to a significant decrease in performance and can introduce other network issues.
  • Quality of Internal Wiring: The state and quality of your home's or business's internal wiring can significantly affect connection speeds.
  • Device Capabilities: Older devices may not be capable of handling higher speeds or might have outdated hardware which can limit performance.
  • External Interference: Other electronic devices, walls, and even neighboring Wi-Fi networks can cause interference.

Commitment:

Talkie Communications Inc. is committed to providing transparent and reliable internet services. If you consistently experience speeds significantly lower than your package's advertised "up to" speed under standard conditions, please contact our support team so we can address and rectify the situation.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION, AND FEES

Mandatory Arbitration:

Both parties agree that any disputes arising out of or related to these Terms of Service or the services provided by Talkie Communications Inc will be resolved through binding arbitration rather than in court, except for claims that qualify for small claims court. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and seeks to resolve disputes more quickly. Instead of a judge or jury, the case will be decided by a neutral arbitrator.

No Class Actions:

You and Talkie Communications Inc both agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action.

Fees and Costs:

The party found at fault in the arbitration will be responsible for paying all costs related to the arbitration, including but not limited to any filing fees, arbitrator fees, attorney fees, and other related costs.

Notice:

Before initiating an arbitration, the party intending to seek arbitration must first send to the other party, by certified mail, a written notice of intent to arbitrate ("Notice").

Exceptions:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies.
