Resource use

Shared resources (such as fair-share bandwidth) must be used reasonably. We may contact you about usage that affects others and, where needed, rate-limit or suspend a service to protect the network.

Reporting abuse

To report abuse originating from our network, email abuse@spanning.no with relevant logs and timestamps. We investigate all reports.
