What is file sharing and why is it prohibited on the SonicNet network?
File sharing is the open connection between a computer and media server such as LimeWire, Morpheus, or WimMX among many others. This connection allows files on a computer to be automatically uploaded even without the owner’s knowledge. This open connection uses significant amounts of bandwidth, thus causing our entire network’s speeds to be adversely affected. SonicNet must prohibit file sharing so that all customers have optimal connection speeds. We realize that customers are often not aware their software is allowing file sharing. If we notice an unusual amount of data being uploaded by a customer, we will contact him/her to discuss.
