The Customer understands and agrees that the Bandwidth will be provided on a per-line (not a per-device) basis. The bandwidth available to each device connected to GT&T’s Network will vary depending upon the number, type and configuration of devices using the Service and the type of use (e.g., streaming media), among other factors.
