The sum total of uploads and downloads happening over a user account over a given period of time is called Data Transfer.

Yes. In case of browsing, whenever you go to any website, you are able to see the pages because they download to your browser. Similarly, when you try to login into your email account, you send your login name and password to the mail server. This data is conveyed to the server from your browser and so it counts as upload.

Can’t really say. It depends on what website you are browsing. For example, if you were browsing www.google.com and just reading the generated results, your bandwidth consumption would be extremely low. However, if you click on any of the results, the bandwidth consumption goes up to the extent of the programming that has been done on the page that opens. Webpage sizes could be anything between 2 Kilobytes and 200 Kilobytes or even more, depending on the web designer’s skills and constraints.

On the other hand, if you are downloading heavy stuff like music, movies, software etc. over a high speed account, your bandwidth consumption could even run into a few Gigabytes by the end of the day!

The customer’s connection is carried out by our Franchisee of his/her area. The Franchisee lays a CAT5e cable upto the LAN Card in the customer’s computer. The other end of this cable is connected to a Switch installed in the customer’s building or some other building around it. This Switch is a part of the Franchisee’s network and is connected to our server at the Franchisee location. After the CAT5e cable is laid upto the customer’s computer, a dialling software is installed in his computer by the Franchisee’s engineer. The customer can log onto our network by entering his User ID and Password into this software. This dialling software connects him to PACENET’s network through his LAN Card. REMEMBER, that though it is called a dialling software, it does not dial through the telephone line but through the CAT5e network of PACENET. Thus, it merely serves as an authentication tool.

Nobody can give a 100% assurance of security over any network. However, we have provided the maximum possible security to all our servers. Providing security right upto your doorstep is not possible for us as we are already providing a pretty good connectivity at the most competitive rates and providing anything beyond this would result in a substantial increase in the cost.
