We believe in an open internet. Your connection is yours to use as you choose, within the law and our policies.
Internet Lightspeed does not block any ports. There’s no filtering or throttling of the apps and services you use.
You can read our full policies on our Policies and Notices page.
🎮 Having trouble with a game or app?
If something isn’t connecting, the cause is usually a setting on your router rather than anything blocked on our network. See How do I open or forward ports on my router?
