Internet Service Provider Disclosures

Network Management Practices

  • Blocking: DNA does not block any lawful content, except as specified in our agreements and policies.
  • Throttling: DNA treats all applications and services equally, without throttling any particular service.
  • Affiliated Prioritization: DNA does not give preferential treatment to any affiliated applications or services.
  • Paid Prioritization: DNA does not prioritize any applications or services based on payment or other considerations.
  • Congestion Management: DNA does not frequently experience network congestion and therefore has not established specific policies or procedures for managing it.
  • Application-Specific Behavior: DNA does not alter or interfere with the functionality of any applications or services.
  • Device Attachment Rules: DNA requires the use of its router at the customer’s premises by default, with no restrictions on devices connected behind it. Business customers may request that DNA’s equipment be bridged to their own.
  • Security: DNA restricts traffic to and from certain ports to enhance security:
