If you would like information concerning your underlying carrier, please contact the company from who you purchased the device, or Tata Communications via the contact information in our Terms of Service.
Coverage isn’t available everywhere, and speeds and latency may vary considerably based on factors both within and beyond Tata Communications’ control such as network problems, software, signal strength, your wireless device, structures, buildings, weather, geography, topography, etc. It is important that you consider the capabilities of your device, Tata Communications’ network coverage, and Tata Communications’ network technologies in determining whether Tata Communications’ data services are right for you. As a reseller, Tata Communications does not market that the wireless services are available at a particular speed or in a particular area. Because we do not advertise or commit to a specific speed, we do not provide general information on the minimum, maximum or actual speeds available to our users. If you wish to find additional information concerning your specific minimum, maximum and actual throughput speeds, please contact us via the methods detailed in our Terms of Service.
In some cases, users on plans with data allocations may experience reduced speed for those applications for the remainder of the usage period after exceeding their allotments. In particular usage in excess of 20GB per calendar month, including the usage of all connected devices, shall result in the reduction of throughput speeds for the duration of the calendar month. Usage in excess of these limits may be reduced to no less than 256 kpbs throughput until your usage cycle resets. In the event of a partial month, the usage threshold will be pro-rated through the remainder of the month. Where more than one application uses the connectivity, each of these applications may count toward your monthly data allocation. Because we resell the connectivity of other providers we cannot assure you of the availability of particular speeds in a particular location, even when operating at a reduced speed due to exceeding your usage allotment.
