It is the policy of Cybercom not to monitor individual usage of any general facility. However, Cybercom reserves the right to monitor and record the usage of all facilities as necessary to evaluate and maintain system efficiency and integrity or if it reasonably believes that activities are taking place that are contrary to Cybercom's TCAUP or state, or federal laws.

  • Applications that hinder or interfere with the use of the network by others and/or use excessive network bandwidth. Bandwidth use is excessive when it affects the speed of the network for multiple users for extended periods of time.
