Description:
This is the highest Grade of Service for office users who require dedicated bandwidth to site on the forward channel (download) This Grade of Service is aimed at people who want the faster Internet service and often use services that are reliant on good performance and constant bandwidth delivery. The return channel on this GOS is a shared TDMA service with a minimum guaranteed kbps on the upload. There is no quota level set on this GOS so is therefore exempt from SPARC throttling.
This grade of service will support the following applications:
Web Browsing
Web based e-mail
Client/ Server e-mails with attachments
Newsgroup access (including binary groups)
FTP Server access
Peer-to-peer file sharing applications such as Kazaa, WinMX or Napster. (Subject to throttling based on usage. See *note2)

*note 1 - These figures are based on speeds measured to and from the servers located in the Star Com™ service. These figures do not apply to any servers located on remote satellite terminals, or servers located on the Internet as these are beyond the reasonable control of WAFA.
*note 2 - Any applications that stream information, or are capable of slowing overall network performance, may be subject to throttling in accordance with the Internet Acceptable Use Policy. This is to ensure fair access to the Star Com™ network.
*note 3 - These are applications may be throttled if they are used in excess, but will normally be given low priority when compared to other types of traffic. The performance of these applications is not supportable by WAFA. See the Internet Acceptable Use Policy. Download starcomgos.pdf
