- Best-Effort Service Basis
All services provided by Fibre To The Ground (“FTTG”, “we”, “us”, “our”) are delivered on a best-effort basis. While FTTG endeavours to provide reliable and high-quality internet connectivity, uninterrupted or error-free service cannot be guaranteed. Actual service performance may vary due to factors including, but not limited to, network demand, infrastructure limitations, geographic location, and technical constraints.
- Service Speeds and Performance
Advertised speeds represent maximum achievable speeds under optimal conditions and are not guaranteed at all times. Actual throughput, latency, and performance may fluctuate depending on:
- Network congestion.
- End-user equipment and internal wiring.
- Distance from network infrastructure • Usage patterns and peak-time demand FTTG shall not be liable for variations in speed that fall within reasonable operational parameters.
- Planned Maintenance
FTTG may conduct planned maintenance, upgrades, or system improvements from time to time to ensure network stability and performance. Such maintenance may:
- Temporarily affect service availability or performance.
- Be scheduled during off-peak periods where reasonably possible FTTG will make reasonable efforts to notify customers of planned maintenance in advance, where practical.
- Unplanned Outages and Faults
Unplanned service interruptions may occur due to unforeseen circumstances, including:
- Network faults.
- Equipment failures.
- External interference or damage FTTG will use reasonable efforts to restore services as soon as practicable but does not guarantee fault resolution timeframes unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

- Fibre network operator outages or faults.
- Power supply interruptions, load-shedding, or electrical failures.

- Natural disasters • Acts of government or regulatory authorities.
- Industrial action or labour disputes • War, civil unrest, or national emergencies.
- Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, FTTG shall not be liable for:
