2.2 ESTABLISHING AND FURNISHING SERVICE

2.2.1 APPLICATION FOR SERVICE

A. Tariff Application

This Tariff governs the furnishing of Communication services and facilities by the United Telephone Company of New Jersey, Inc. hereinafter * referred to as the Telephone Company. The general regulations in this * Section of the Tariff are supplemental to regulations contained in other sections of this Tariff. The Telephone Company does not transmit messages but offers, subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Tariff, the use of its facilities where available, for communication services. The term "service" as used throughout this Tariff refers to all service, central office equipment and facilities.

B. Applications for Service

Applications for service and facilities shall be made, when requested by the Telephone Company, in such form as the Telephone Company may require. Applicants for service may be required by the Telephone Company to furnish information regarding the nature of the business to be transacted by means of the service and facilities and, upon request, shall furnish an affidavit declaring that the use of the service and facilities will not be for any purpose in violation of the law. An application for service becomes a contract upon the establishment of service. Neither the contract nor any rights acquired thereunder may be assigned or in any manner transferred. Requests for additional service, upon the establishment thereof become a part of the original contract except that each item of additional service is furnished subject to payment of charges for the minimum period specified in this Tariff. Any change in rates or regulations acts as a modification of all service terms and conditions without further notice. The acceptance or use of service may be deemed an application for such service and an agreement to pay for it at the rates applicable thereto under the current tariff.

A2. GENERAL REGULATIONS 2.2 ESTABLISHING AND FURNISHING SERVICE (Cont'd) 2.2.1 APPLICATION FOR SERVICE (Cont'd)

B. Applications for Service (Cont'd)

The Telephone Company reserves the right to refuse service to applicants who are indebted to the Company for service previously rendered, until the indebtedness is satisfied. This reservation may also be applied to others associated with a debtor customer in a business or family way where it is apparent that the service is to be used by the same parties and the application is a subterfuge to acquire telephone service without payment of outstanding indebtedness.

C. Overtime Work

When, at the customer's request, work is performed at other than regular business hours of the Telephone Company, an extra charge for such work will be made to compensate for the additional costs involved.

D. Transfer of Contracts - Continuation of Service

Service previously established for one customer may be assumed by a new customer, provided there is no lapse in the rendition of service, upon the payment of a service connection charge in accordance with Sec- tion A3. of this Tariff. Such transfers are made by the new customer signing an application for telephone service and may be arranged for in either of two ways: 1. If the new customer fully understands the status of the former

customer's account and willingly assumes all the obligations thereunder, it is noted on the application for service that he will assume outstanding charges. Bills are rendered the new customer without any adjustments to or from a particular date, the name only being changed on the bill, but proper changes are made in the central office records and listings in the directory when issued.

2. If the new customer is not willing to assume payment of the old account, it is noted on the application for service that he will not assume outstanding charges. The date on which the superseding application becomes effective must coincide with the date of termination of the former application.

D. Transfer of Contracts - Continuation of Service (Cont'd)

The call number of a telephone affected by a superseding application covering a change of party is changed in all cases unless it is clearly shown that the new party is, in fact, the successor of and is entitled to receive the incoming messages for the listed call number. In order to retain the listed call number the new customer is expected to assume any outstanding indebtedness under the superseded application. In case there is any doubt as to the propriety of assigning the listed call number, the customer whose name is listed is expected to assent in writing.

2.2.2 OBLIGATION TO FURNISH SERVICE

A. General

The Telephone Company's obligation to furnish service including rearrangements of existing services and facilities is dependent upon: - Its ability to secure and retain without unreasonable expense, suitable equipment, facilities, and rights for the construction, installation, and maintenance of the necessary plant and equipment. - Its being given adequate advance notice of the service or rearrangement desired, the length of such notice being dependent upon the factors in the individual case. - The customer providing a suitable location or locations for the facilities to be installed on his premises.

B. Priority of Service

1. Local Messages

In case a shortage of facilities exists at any time either for temporary or protracted periods, the furnishing of telephone local service shall take precedence over the use of interoffice trunks, between central offices in the same exchange or in different exchanges in the same local service area, for furnishing the following types of channels: extension, branch exchange station, tie, private, leased, teletypewriter, program transmission, short-period talking, and foreign exchange. *

to disconnect from the telephone lines.

The Telephone Company reserves the right to release, upon request, the names and

addresses of customers who transmit recorded or taped public announcements over telephone company facilities.

2.2.4 USE OF SERVICE A. General Determination as to whether customer service should be classified as business or

residence service is based on the character of the use to be made of the service. *

Service is classified as business service where the use is primarily or substantially of

a business, professional, institutional or otherwise occupational nature. Where the use, if any, is merely incidental and where the major use is of a social or domestic nature, service is classified as residence service.

An important index of the character of use of a service is found in the application of

the customer as to the form of the directory listing desired. In any case where other than a residence designation is desired except as qualified below, the use is presumed to be of an occupational nature.

Customers transmitting factual public announcements such as Time, Weather, Stock Market quotations, Airline Schedules and similar information are excluded from the preceding condition.

establishment of service for a customer.

No distinction is made between a "New Installation" and an "Outside Move". All changes

in location of a customer's facilities from one premise to another are being treated as new service connections with Service Connection Charges applying.

Service Connection Charges as stated in 3.1.1.C are in addition to schedule rates and

any other charges normally applying under the tariffs. They do not apply in lieu of installation charges or construction charges made because of unusual cost in establishing service, but apply in addition to such charges.

A unit of service or facility means one access line, one extension line, one terminal

loop in connection with a Special Contract Service or Payphone Line Service. *

Definitions: 1. Rate Demarcation Point (RDP) - The point of minimum penetration on the

customer's property, as determined by the Telephone Company, where the Network Interface is located. The Rate Demarcation Point is sometimes referred to as a Network Demarcation Point.

2. Network Interface (NI) - The Network Interface (NI) is the Telephone Company -

provided termination point on the customer's property which provides for interconnection of the customer's property wiring and equipment with the Telephone Company.

The connection charges following are for terminating the requested service at a Rate

Demarcation Point (RDP) on the customer's premises.

The customer is responsible for any work required to connect service at the Network

Interface (NI) on the customer's premise beyond the Rate Demarcation Point (RDP). The Telephone Company will perform premise work upon request at deregulated charges.

3.3 SERVICE DATE CHANGE CHARGE

A Service Date Change Charge applies when customer requests a change of service date on a pending order for a Private Line service or Design Service prior to the scheduled service date.

The customer may request a change of service date on a pending Private Line Service or Design Service order prior to the service date. A change of service date is a change of the scheduled service date by the customer to either an earlier date or a later date which does not exceed 60 calendar days from the original service. If the Company determines that the customer's request can be accommodated without delaying the service dates for orders of other customers, the service date will be changed and appropriate service charges will apply. If the service date is changed to an earlier date, the customer will be notified by the Company that Expedited Order Charges may apply as set forth in 3.4 following. Such charges will apply in addition to service charges that apply for a change order. If the requested service date exceeds 60 calendar days following the original service date, and the Company determines that the customer's request can be accommodated, the Company will cancel the original order and apply the Cancellation Charges set forth in 3.5 following, and a new order with a new service date will be issued. In this instance, no service charge will apply for the service date change; however, normally applicable service ordering charges will apply to the new order. Failure by the Customer to notify the Company prior to the latest agreed upon service date to request a different service date may result in the application of a Trip Charge. If a customer is unable to accept service within 30 days after the latest agreed upon service date, the order will either be cancelled or billing will commence as specified in 3.3 following.

The cancellation date is the date the Company receives written or verbal notice from the customer that the order is to be canceled.

B. If the scheduled completion date cannot be met due to circumstances beyond

the control of CenturyLink, a new completion date will be established and the customer will be notified.

B. Expedited Order Charge - An expedited order charge applies when a customer

requests that construction be completed on an expedited basis and CenturyLink incurs additional costs. The charge is equal to the difference in the estimated cost of construction on an expedited basis and construction without expediting.

C. Supporting Structures on Private Property - These charges include the costs of

planning and building supporting structure on private property. Supporting structure includes poles, conduit, trenching, backfilling and associated costs. In cases where the customer or property owner is unable to provide the structure, CenturyLink, at its discretion, will perform the work and bill the customer or property owner.

D. Service Entrance Facilities - Entrance facilities include all cable and wire

required to reach the normal network interface. When, at the request of the property owner or customer, a special route, network location, network arrangement or duplicate facility is required, special construction charges will apply.

(*)

** * * **






G. Charge for Route or Type Other Than Normal - When the customer requests special construction using a route or type of facilities other than that which CenturyLink would normally use, a monthly recurring charge is applicable. The charge is the difference between the estimated recurring costs of the specially constructed facilities and the estimated recurring costs of the facilities CenturyLink would normally use. The charge will be no greater than the recurring costs of the specially constructed facilities.

H. Lease Charge - A lease charge applies when CenturyLink leases equipment (e.g.,

portable microwave equipment) in order to provide service to meet the customer's requirements. The amount of the charge is the total added cost to CenturyLink caused by the lease.

I. Excess Costs - When a customer requests service that involves extraordinary

conditions or circumstances and the anticipated costs associated with the service provision do not represent a prudent investment for CenturyLink, then a special construction charge is applicable.


(*)

J. Payment of Special Construction Charges – Payment of charges applicable for Special Construction will be required prior to the start of any construction related activity.

K. Line Extensions

1. Where telephone facilities are not in place to fulfill an applicant’s request

for local telephone service, CenturyLink, at its discretion, may extend its facilities to provide the requested service if the costs of the facility extension represent a prudent investment for CenturyLink.

2. Where the costs to extend facilities to accommodate an applicant’s

request for service do not represent a prudent investment, the applicant may be required to pay a line extension charge equal to all or a portion of the construction charges incurred by CenturyLink to extend the facilities. These charges are in addition to the regularly applicable rates and charges to establish service stated in CenturyLink’s Tariff.

3. When the applicant is so located that it is necessary to use private right-

of-way/easement to furnish service and CenturyLink is unable to obtain the required right-of-way/easement without cost, the applicant may be required to pay the cost incurred in securing, clearing and retaining such right-of-way. CenturyLink will not proceed with a requested line extension if a satisfactory right-of-way/easement is not provided,

exchange other than that normally serving the area in which the customer is located. A Type 2006 or 2006A Channel is required as specified in Section A12.

(**) (*)

Foreign exchange service does not come within the Company's general undertaking.

The Company does not obligate itself to furnish foreign exchange service generally, but will do so where facilities of such a character are available as will permit satisfactory telephone transmission. In cases where facilities are available in connection with which additional equipment is required, in order to provide satisfactory transmission, and it is practicable to make use of the additional equipment in connection with the available facilities, an additional charge is made to cover the cost of providing the necessary additional equipment. Payphone Line Service is not furnished on a foreign exchange basis.

* *

When foreign exchange service is furnished by means of an individual access line

equipped with rotary access service, connections to the line at that location are restricted to the customer-provided stations connected with and in the immediate vicinity of the customer-provided equipment.

The local service and toll rates applicable to foreign exchange service are the same

as apply to other customer stations served from the same foreign central office.

When special operating is required, an additional monthly charge may be made to

cover the cost of such operating.

B. Rates and Regulations 1. Intra-Company Foreign Exchange Service - Foreign Exchange Service provided from terminating central - offices between adjacent or non-adjacent exchanges: When the exchange area in which the customer is located is not adjacent to the foreign

exchange area, connections are subject to the condition that, during the period foreign exchange service is retained, the customer is also a customer for local exchange service. This is not a requirement where two (2) exchanges are adjacent. In either case, the rate for foreign exchange service is the established individual line or an individual line equipped with Rotary Access Service rate in the foreign exchange, plus any applicable monthly channel/mileage charges as outlined in Section A12. of this Tariff.

(a) Within the territory of this Company, the channel/mileage charges apply as

shown in Section A12.

(b) Outside the territory of this Company, such channel/mileage charges apply

as are provided by tariffs of other participating companies.

(c) A supplemental charge of $10.00 applies for each $.05 multiple of the day

station-to-station initial period message toll rate between the local exchange and the foreign exchange. Such charge will not apply if the local and foreign exchanges are in the same local service area.

(d) When foreign exchange service is requested by a customer of another

company to an exchange of this Company, the charges in (a) listed will apply.

The charges in (c) apply unless a similar charge is made by the Company

in whose territory the customer is located. (*) (**)

A5. EXCHANGE SERVICES 5.1 GENERAL (Cont’d) 5.1.7 ROTARY ACCESS SERVICE (1) * A. General Rotary Access Service is furnished for a business customer having or ordering to be

installed multiple lines and desiring to have those lines arranged so that all incoming calls to the group of lines will be directed automatically to an idle line (one of the multiple lines serving the customer). Having the group of lines in a rotary access (hunting) arrangement increases the likelihood of an incoming call being completed. Additionally, the automatic selection feature provides a far greater call carrying capacity over a smaller number of lines, fewer repeat calls because of line busy condition, and the convenience of a single listed number. Rotary Access Service is an optional feature provided at the customer's request.

*

Depending on the type of central office equipment which serves the customer, sequential

telephone numbers may or may not be required to make this feature operable.

B. Regulations 1. A minimum of two (2) access lines are required for Rotary Access Service. 2. All lines in the group of lines designated for rotary access service must appear at the

same location.

3. This service is used in conjunction with Direct Inward Dialing (DID) Service.

4. This service is furnished only when the rotary numbers are available and only

in connection with business individual line service arranged for rotary, level hunting or similar service, except as specified in Section 13.7, Obsolete Residential Rotary Access Service.

time lapse since the last call. The customer enters a special code to initiate the trace. Before the trace is completed, the customer will hear a prompt with instructions on how to cancel the trace or complete the trace.

If the customer receives another call after hanging up from the traced call, or if

the Enhanced Call Waiting feature (described in this section of this tariff) is activated prior to activating the trace, Call Trace will not record the correct number.

This feature requires no additional equipment on the customer's premises. Call

Trace will trace only those calls that originate from a location equipped with enabling technologies. In order to activate Call Trace the customer must dial an activation code. Upon activation by the customer, the network automatically sends a message to the Company indicating the calling number, the time the call was received and the time the trace was activated. The customer using this feature is required to contact the local telephone company Annoyance Call Bureau for further action. The customer is not provided the traced telephone number.

In situations where the Call Trace functionality is activated by a subscriber,

information pertaining to non-published telephone numbers will be provided to the authorized law enforcement agency upon request of the agency.

A5. EXCHANGE SERVICES 5.4 PREMIUM EXCHANGE SERVICES (Cont’d) 5.4.3 CUSTOM CALLING SERVICES (Cont’d) A. Description (Cont’d) 11. Selective Call Acceptance (1) Selective Call Acceptance screens incoming calls against a list of subscriber-

specified directory numbers and accepts only those calls from numbers on the list. Calls from telephone numbers that do not match one of the numbers on the Selective Call Acceptance list will be routed to an announcement stating that the called party is not accepting calls at this time. Calls from outside the Customer Calling service area will ring normally.

This feature also controls access to computer lines for security reasons by

restricting directory numbers that can terminate to computer lines.

Subscribers can include up to 12 numbers from within the Custom Calling service

area on their Selective Call Acceptance list. Subscribers dial an access code to activate or deactivate the feature, determine status of the feature, review the Selective Call Acceptance list, and add or delete numbers from the list.

12. Selective Call Forward (1) Enables a customer to transfer selected calls to another telephone number. The

Selective Call Forward list of up to twelve is created by the customer and placed in the network memory via an interactive dialing sequence. Only calls from those telephone numbers in the list may be forwarded to the designated telephone number. Calls from multi-line subscribers’ lines will be forwarded only where the main listed number has been included in the Selective Call Forward list.

13. Selective Call Rejection (1) Provides a customer the ability to prevent the receipt of incoming calls from up to

thirty-one different telephone numbers. With Selective Call Rejection the calling party receives an announcement indicating that the call cannot be completed to the called party at this time. The Selective Call Rejection list is created by the customer through an interactive dialing sequence. Calls from multi-line subscribers’ lines will be blocked only where the main listed number has been included in the Selective Call Rejection list.

*

14. Selective Call Ring (1) Provides a customer with a distinctive ringing pattern for up to twelve specific

telephone numbers. The customer creates a list of up to twelve telephone numbers through an interactive dialing sequence. When a call is received from one of these predetermined telephone numbers, the customer is alerted with a distinctive ringing pattern. Normal ringing will be produced on calls from numbers not included on the list. Calls from multi-line subscribers’ lines will have a distinctive ringing pattern only if those lines have been included on the Selective Call Ring list.

(1) These features will only operate on calls originating and terminating in equipped central office

serving areas that are connected by Signaling System 7 (SS7) technology.

from appearing on the called party’s Caller ID display unit by dialing a special code prior to placing each call. When the calling party activates this blocking feature, the called party will notice that a privacy indicator, instead of the calling party’s telephone number or number and name, will appear on the Caller ID display unit unless ACR is activated.

16. Per-Line Blocking Provides the calling party the ability to block all outgoing calls from appearing on

Caller ID display units. A privacy indicator, instead of the calling party’s telephone number or number and name, will appear on the Caller ID display unit. This feature can be deactivated by the calling party by dialing a special code, and is available to single party customers with the exception of Payphone Line Service.

Each rotary access line of a rotary access group must be equipped with Per-Line

Blocking.

17. Three-Way Calling with Transfer a. This feature allows a user to hold an in-progress call and complete a second

call while maintaining privacy from the first call, or to add on the previously held call for a three-way conference. Incoming calls may be transferred to another access arrangement on an inter- or intra-switch basis, except as specified in Section 5.4.3.A.21.c following. The use of this feature by the subscriber to complete simultaneous outgoing calls may be subject to restrictions or prohibitions imposed by the Customer’s Presubscribed Interexchange Carrier, if the calls are not in the Customer’s local or expanded local calling area.

destination, and upon the party at the secondary destination answering the phone, the subscriber announces the transfer of the call (on hold at the time) and hangs up (on hook), resulting in the original caller being connected to the secondary destination.

(3) Three-Way Conferencing with Option to Transfer By placing the original caller on hold, dialing the secondary

destination, and upon the party at the secondary destination answering the phone, taking the original caller off-hold; resulting in a three way connection. The subscriber can then hang up; resulting in the original caller continuing to be connected to the caller at the secondary destination.

b. The subscriber of Three-Way Calling with Transfer can receive or originate

the initial call. Three-Way Calling with Transfer allows the subscriber to originate both legs of a three way connection and subsequently disconnect, enabling the other parties to remain connected.

c. Where the subscriber originates both legs of a three-way call, those legs

will remain bridged together when the subscriber goes on hook when at least one of the legs is a call for which both the originating and terminating points are served by the same switch. Where the subscriber originates two inter-switch legs of a three-way call, both legs remain bridged when the subscriber goes on hook where the serving switch is not a 5ESS switch. For such calls in a 5ESS switch, both inter-switch legs are disconnected when the subscriber goes on hook.

d. This feature shall not be used to extend calls on a planned and continuing

basis to intentionally avoid the payment in whole or in part of message charges, toll or otherwise, that would regularly be applicable between the stations bridged together by the subscriber.

A. Description

Remote Call Forwarding (RCF) Service allows all calls dialed to a telephone * * number equipped for RCF Service to be automatically forwarded to another * dialable telephone number. This service enables a customer to list a local directory number that is forwarded to a different city or exchange. RCF is offered as two separate options:

RCF Toll requires the distant number must be a toll call (out of the local service area) from the call forwarding location. The subscriber to RCF Toll is responsible for all toll charges of all forwarded calls. The toll charges are in addition to the RCF flat rate. Calls forwarded to an 800 number shall be permitted.

2. Option II - RCF Local

RCF Local is offered on a measured service usage basis. If the Remote Call Forwarding Service number is local to the number to which the calls are forwarded, then each forwarded call will be billed on a measured service usage basis. (See 5.4.4 C. Rates). This charge is in addition to the RCF flat rate. Remote Call Forwarding Local is not offered on an unlimited usage basis. The subscriber to RCF Local is responsible for all message charges that may be billed for all forwarded calls, in addition * to the RCF flat rate. * *

B. Regulations

One or more Remote Call Forwarding features in a central office in an area(s) which the customer wishes to serve are arranged for permanent forwarding to a terminating number designated by the customer. Each * feature allows for forwarding of one call at a given time. An additional feature is required for each additional call to be forwarded simultaneously. This service may not be used to forward calls to Coin Telephone Service or another RCF feature number. The grade of transmission of calls which are forwarded may vary depending on the distance and the routing necessary to complete the overall connection. Therefore, the normal grade of transmission is not guar- anted on any forwarded call, and the service is not deemed suitable for the transmission of data. The services are furnished only where adequate and suitable facilities are available and are not subject to the discount provisions of this Tariff. The customer must take sufficient lines and associated facilities to handle the estimated or actual number of calls without interfering with exchange or toll service. In the event that there is interference with exchange or toll service, the Company reserves the right to disconnect the service immediately in accordance with the regulations contained in (*) this Tariff.

5.7.2 BILLED NUMBER SCREENING (BNS)

A. Description

This service provides the ability, at the customer's request, to disallow the billing of Third Party Charges (to a customer's telephone bill) and/or the receipt of Collect Calls. The customer benefits from Billed Number Screening as the service eliminates nuisance third party calls and blocks the receipt of collect calls.

B. Regulations

Billed Number Screening is available to residence and business accounts (with the exception of Payphone Line Service Subscribers). A customer with more than one line at any one location is required to have all telephone numbers at that location screened. The customer's telephone number is included in a data base that is made available to companies which provide validation services. Inclusion in the data base indicates these calls, incoming collect and/or third party billed, will not be allowed for billing to the customer's line.

*

Payphone Line Service (PLS) subscribers are excluded from BNS Service since Optional Call Screening is offered with PLS. See A5, Paragraph 5.5.1, C.2.

* *

Screening of incoming collect, international collect and third number billed calls is limited to Local Exchange Companies or Carriers which access the validation data base and cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, charges for any such calls received from a Local Exchange Company or Carrier not accessing the validation data base may be the responsibility of the customer.

C. Rates

There is no monthly recurring charge for BNS. The non-recurring charge to establish BNS is a Record Charge as shown in Section A3.

2. CLVP is offered as a tiered plan with each tier having a Minimum Line Requirement.

Lines and/or key trunks provided by a CenturyLink ILEC which are already discounted under an existing term discount plan, line volume plan or any contractual arrangement which contains a volume and/or minimum term commitment, may contribute to the aggregate line count used for determining the applicable tier and rates for services under this CLVP, but are not eligible for additional discounts under this CLVP.

3. The terms, conditions, and application of rates for services in Qwest Corporation

locations may differ from those contained herein, and are as described in the applicable tariffs, catalogs, and/or other local terms of service documents for those service locations.

B. Regulations

1. Qualifying CLVP services in locations other than those served by Qwest Corporation are defined as follows:

• Flat rate business individual lines – local exchange service terminating into a

single line instrument. • Flat rate key lines or key trunks – local exchange service terminating into any

system classified as a key system pursuant to FCC Part 68 Rules and any hybrid system designed to function like a key system, e.g. an outbound line is manually selected, usually by pushing a button on the handset, rather than being selected automatically (usually by dialing 9).

features (where offered), is available in conjunction with any qualifying service:

Caller ID (includes Anonymous Call Rejection, where available) Call Forwarding Call Forward Busy Call Forward No Answer Call Forward-Remote Access (Not currently available) Enhanced Call Waiting Three-Way Calling Three-Way Calling with Transfer Call Return SignalRing Message Waiting [1]

Voicemail [1]

3. The terms and conditions for qualifying services and optional features apply as specified in applicable CenturyLink tariffs, guidebooks, schedules, and/or other local terms of service documents, unless stated otherwise herein.

4. CLVP rates are based on line volume and a term commitment period of two, three,

four or five years. Customers may not have more than one CLVP tier and term commitment period in effect across all CenturyLink service locations except as described in 5. following. Rates for qualifying services at new service locations will be charged based on the already established tier and commitment period. Any lines added after execution of the initial CLVP are contributory towards the Minimum Line Commitment but will not prompt a change in the assigned tier for the previously established lines.

5. Customers with a previously existing CLVP offered by Qwest Corporation may select

a separate (second) CLVP for services in an eligible location other than Qwest Corporation. Lines in all CenturyLink ILEC service locations, including locations served by Qwest Corporation, may, at Customer’s request, be contributory towards determining the tier for the second CLVP. Services in a Qwest Corporation service location are not eligible for the rates associated with the tier assigned for the second CLVP and will continue to be charged at the tier rates under the original CLVP offered by Qwest Corporation for the remainder of its term commitment period.

Alternatively, customers may discontinue a previously existing CLVP and establish

a new CLVP as described in 10. following, in which instance a new tier will be established and will apply for all service locations.

5.10 CENTURYLINK LINE VOLUME PLAN (CLVP) (Continued) B. Regulations (Continued)

6. All qualifying services must be associated with the same customer. The Company

may, at its discretion, provide this plan to Affiliates or Franchisees of Customer. An Affiliate or Franchisee is an entity whose operation of business is substantially associated with Customer’s name, mark, or commercial symbol. When, at the Company’s discretion, this plan is provided to Affiliates or Franchisees of Customer, Customer must designate the specific account to which Early Termination Charges and Shortfall Penalties will be applied.

7. Services subject to rates under this CLVP are not eligible for discounted rates under

any other local voice discount plan. Only the qualifying services listed in B.1. preceding are both contributory to and eligible for the CLVP rates herein. However, a line or key trunk in any packaged service may contribute towards the minimum line requirement. PBX trunks are neither eligible for or contributory to CLVP for purposes of determining the appropriate rate tier and minimum line requirement.

8. Customers may select a CLVP tier lower than their actual quantity of contributory

services. 9. Services receiving promotional or competitive response discounts or recurring

charge waivers under other term commitment programs are not eligible for CLVP rates until the terms of those offers have been satisfied for those lines.

10. Additional business lines may be added at any time during Customer’s term

commitment period, but will not affect the tier and monthly discount levels established upon execution of the CLVP agreement unless Customer commits to a new agreement for a greater number of lines than the existing agreement. Rates applicable under the new agreement will not apply retroactively nor will the months accrued under the initial agreement apply towards the new commitment period.

11. Customer may move all or some of the lines under this CLVP to any eligible

CenturyLink service location without incurring termination charges, as long as Customer maintains the overall minimum line requirement. The CLVP rates for relocated lines are as specified in the appropriate CenturyLink tariffs, guidebooks, schedules, and/or local terms of service documents for the new service location.

A5. EXCHANGE SERVICES 5.10. CENTURYLINK LINE VOLUME PLAN (CLVP) (Continued) C. Early Termination Liability

1. If CenturyLink terminates the Service(s) for cause, or if Customer terminates the

Services(s) in whole without cause before expiration of the initial commitment period, the customer will pay termination charges of $15.00 per line of the customer’s Minimum Line Requirement multiplied by the remaining number of months left on the Term. For example: a customer terminating all service with 3 months remaining on the Term and a Minimum Line Requirement of 50 lines will pay $15.00 x 50 x 3 = $2,250.00.

2. If during an annual review of Customer’s account, the account falls below the Minimum

Line Requirement for the discount tier, the customer will pay a shortfall penalty of $60.00 for each line below the Minimum Line Requirement. If the customer is charged a shortfall charge, the Company may subsequently conduct quarterly audits and apply shortfall charges until the customer meets the Minimum Line Requirement.

3. The optional CLVP Feature Package does not contribute to the discount tier and is not

subject to termination charges or shortfall penalty. 4. Early Termination Liability charges will be waived for CLVP customers who commit to a

new term agreement that includes the same or greater number of equivalent lines or similar services (e.g. channels within a 1.544 Mbps service) for the same or greater term than their existing agreement. Months accrued under the CLVP term commitment period will not apply towards the new commitment period.



A5. EXCHANGE SERVICES 5.10 CENTURYLINK LINE VOLUME PLAN (CLVP) (Continued) D. Application of Rates

1. U-Touch Calling service charges and/or Expanded Local Calling charges normally billed in

addition to the local exchange service rate are included in the rates specified herein. Charges for lines and key trunks in a hunting arrangement (a.k.a. Rotary Line Service) that would otherwise apply as an incremental charge are also included in the rates specified herein.

2. Customers will not incur service charges or other nonrecurring charges when switching

existing basic business line service to CLVP. 3. Nonrecurring charges and/or Service Charges will apply as specified in applicable

CenturyLink tariffs, guidebooks, schedules, and/or local terms of service documents. Nonrecurring charges may be waived if customer moves future services from another telecommunications service provider to lines under the CLVP. However, such subsequently moved lines will not affect the tier and monthly discount level established upon execution of this agreement.

4. Qualifying services may be aggregated across the entire CenturyLink Incumbent LEC

service territory to determine the applicable Tier (based on total number of lines). The monthly rate(s) in effect for each service location upon execution of a CLVP agreement will apply for the duration of the term commitment period, and are not subject to Company initiated rate increases.

5. At the end of the initial CLVP term commitment period, the CLVP term will automatically

renew for up to two consecutive renewal periods unless either party provides thirty days written notice of its intention not to renew or Customer executes a new CLVP agreement. Each renewal period will be equal to the initial term commitment period for existing lines in place. During the renewal periods, Customer must retain the minimum number of lines required for the Tier assigned under the original agreement. Lines added during an auto-renewal period are eligible for the rates extended under the CLVP. If, at the end of the second auto-renewal period, Customer has not executed a new agreement, the rates for business individual lines and/or key lines/trunks, including lines/trunks in a hunting arrangement (a.k.a. rotary line service or rotary access service), and ala carte rates for optional features selected with CLVP Feature Package, if applicable, will revert to the non-contractual monthly rates in effect for those services as specified in CenturyLink’s tariffs, guidebooks, schedules, and/or other local terms of service documents.




5.10. CENTURYLINK LINE VOLUME PLAN (CLVP) (Continued) D. Application of Rates (Continued)

6. If, at any time during an auto-renewal period(s), Customer’s total number of qualifying

services fall below the minimum number of lines required to receive the CLVP discounted rates, the lines/trunks will no longer qualify for CLVP rates and will be charged at the prevailing non-contractual monthly rates for business individual lines and/or key lines/trunks, including lines/trunks in a hunting arrangement (a.k.a. rotary line service or rotary access service), as specified in CenturyLink tariffs, guidebooks, schedules, and/or other local terms of service documents. Lines/trunks reverted to non-contractual monthly rates will no longer qualify for the CLVP Feature Package rate, and features associated with those lines will be charged at the prevailing non-contractual monthly ala carte feature rates. Early termination liability charges will not apply for any lines disconnected or reverted to monthly rates after expiration of the initial term commitment period.

7. The CLVP Feature Package rate applies in addition to the Flat Rate Business Service rate.

When applicable, the Flat Rate Business Service and CLVP Feature Package will appear as a single line item on the customer’s bill.

6.1 GENERAL 6.1.1 APPLICATION

A. Definition

Message Telecommunication Service (MTS) is the furnishing of facilities for telephone communication to or from exchange telephones within a calling party's Local Access And Transport Area (LATA), exclusive of those facilities furnished for Wide Area Telecommunication Service. The rates and charges for intra-LATA usage of MTS are as specified in this Tariff. All inter-LATA usage is subject to the rates and charges specified in the tariff of the Intrastate Customer/Carrier (IC) and the Access Service Tariff.

B. Time-of-Day

The time when connection is established, determined in accordance with the time - Standard or Daylight Saving - legally or commonly in use at the point where the calling station is located, determines whether Day, Evening, or Night rates apply. This rule applies whether the call is sent-paid or collect. In cases where a call begins in one rate period and ends in another, the rate in effect at the time the connection is established applies.

C. Allowances

An allowance is made for chargeable time lost because of faults or defects in Message Telecommunication Service.

D. Application of Rates and Regulations

The rates and regulations herein, apply to Message Telecommunication Service furnished by this Company.

E. Discounted Service for Customers With Impaired Hearing

A7. WIDE AREA TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICE (OBSOLETE) Effective December 23, 2018, Wide Area Telecommunication Service is grandfathered. Availability to current customers is limited to lines currently in service at existing locations. 7.1 OUTWARD WATS AND 800 SERVICE

7.1.1 GENERAL

Wide Area Telecommunication Service (WATS) provides dial-type telecommunications between a WATS station and other stations in a calling party's LATA within New Jersey, using a WATS access line and the public switched network.

WATS can be provided to a customer by the Company on a complementary basis with an Intrastate Customer/Carrier (IC) in order to furnish a statewide WATS (Outward WATS or 800) type service. The rates and charges for the access line(s) and intra-LATA usage are billed as specified herein. All interLATA usage is subject to the rates and charges specified in the tariff of the Intrastate Customer/Carrier and the Access Service Tariff.

A. Description

1. A WATS access line originates at the Company central office and terminates

at the first Company-provided Network Interface.

The "Network Interface" (NI) is that point inside the customer's premises where all premises services are connected to the telecommunication network. The Network Interface is a standard registered jack or its equivalent and is located in close proximity to the protector or at a mutually agreeable location.

2. WATS is provided as either Outward WATS or 800 Service (previously known

as Inward WATS).

(a) The Outward WATS customer is furnished a WATS access line arranged for outward calling only.

7.1.1 GENERAL

C. Use of Service (Cont'd)

2. The Company only accepts service orders from the customer or the customer's authorized agent. Orders include those involving: - new installation - rearrangement - discontinuance of service-billing

3. Fraudulent Use

A WATS call may not be made in response to an uncompleted long distance call placed to send information and to avoid the Message Telecommunication Service (MTS) charge.

4. WATS is offered for resale subject to the Provisions in Section A2.2.5.1 Resale

of Services.

D. Limitations of Service

WATS calls must be dialed and completed without the assistance of a Company operator except when the facilities or conditions do not allow customer dial completion. Person-to-person, collect, conference, or other calls requiring operator handling, except as specified, are not included.

E. Area of Service

(*)




7.1.1 GENERAL (Cont'd)

G. Transmission Quality

Satisfactory transmission cannot be assured when the WATS access line is connected to other Company services or to customer-provided equipment or services.

H. Completion of 800 Service Calls

An 800 Service customer must subscribe to and make use of a sufficient number of access lines so that use of the service does not interfere with another customer's service or proper operation of the public switched network.

7.1.2 RATE TREATMENT

A. Rate Structure For Outward WATS and 800 Service

1. WATS usage rates are for telecommunications between the WATS station and

another station within the same LATA in New Jersey.

2. WATS usage rates are based on the average hours of use per access line within a service group.

3. Both rate structures are usage sensitive tapered schedules.

4. Monthly usage charges for a service group are computed on an average usage

per line basis according to a tapered schedule. There is no minimum monthly usage requirement. Hourly rates for each additional hour of use decrease at defined levels of use called "taper points".

5. The Outward WATS schedule reflects five (5) taper points.

6. The 800 Service schedule reflects one taper point.

7. The minimum average time requirement is applied as described in A7.1.2.B.

8. This schedule requires a separate monthly charge for each access line in a

service group independent of usage.

*

(*)




7.1.2 RATE TREATMENT (Cont'd)

B. Minimum Time Requirements and Allowances

1. The total of all calls made in one billing period in a service group must average at least 30 seconds duration.

2. If the average duration of all calls is less than 30 seconds, the total chargeable

usage for the service group equals the number of calls multiplied by .5 minutes. 3. Chargeable time begins when connection is established between a station

associated with the WATS or 800 Service access line and the calling or called station.

4. Chargeable time ends when the calling station "hangs up", thereby releasing

the network connection. If the called station "hangs up", but the calling station does not, chargeable time ends when the network connection is released by automatic timing equipment in the telecommunications network.

5. The minimum service period for WATS or 800 Service is one day. 6. The charges for a fractional part of a month will be a proportionate part of the

monthly recurring charge based on the actual number of days the service is provided.

7. For the purpose of administering this regulation with respect to the

determination of charges for a fractional part of a month, every month is considered to have thirty (30) days.

C. Method of Determining Usage Charges for Outward WATS and 800 Service

1. Determine the total number of calls for the service group. 2. Determine the equivalent hours used by applying the minimum average time

requirement of thirty (30) seconds (1 call x .5 minutes).

*

(*)





C. Method of Determining Usage Charges for Outward WATS and 800 Service (Cont'd)

3. Determine the total actual hours used for the service group.

4. Determine the chargeable hours, the greater of 2. or 3. preceding, rounded to the nearest tenth (one decimal place).

5. Determine the number of access lines in the service group in service during

the month. Access lines in service for a fraction of a month are based on the number of days in service divided by thirty (30) days. The result is rounded to the nearest hundredth (two decimal places).

6. Determine the average use per line in the service group by dividing the

chargeable hours in 4. preceding by the number of access lines in 5. preceding.

7. Determine the usage charge per line by multiplying the hourly rate for the

appropriate taper(s) by the number of hours used in each taper and then totaling these charges.

8. Determine the total usage charge for the service group by multiplying the

usage charge per access line in 7. preceding by the number of access lines in 5. preceding.

D. Rates

1. Non-Recurring Service Charge

The non-recurring service charge for the installation or move of each WATS line is the same as for a business exchange access line under A3.1.2.

2. Access Line

9-1-1 Enhanced Service (9-1-1 E) is an emergency telecommunications system which enables a caller to be connected to a Public Service Answering Point (PSAP) assigned the responsibility of receiving such calls, to report an emergency condition requiring one or more public safety services such as police, fire, rescue, medical, etc. 9-1-1 E is not a replacement to any Exchange Access Line service provided to public safety agencies. Rather, 9-1-1 E is designed to provide the general public with the means of simple, direct telephone access, in an emergency situation, to PSAP locations. The provision of such service shall not be interpreted, continued, or regarded as being for the benefit of, or creating any Telephone Company obligation or legal liability toward, or any right of action on behalf of, any third person or other legal entity. A public safety agency will have the responsibility for pro- curing and maintaining customer premises equipment associated with the PSAP. The Telephone Company’s only requirement regarding the customer premises equipment is that it must be compatible with the 9-1-1 E Network facilities and 9-1-1 E trunks being provisioned by the Telephone Company. The features listed below, are available subject to the technical limitations of the interconnecting Telephone Company Central Offices. Each feature is described under 2. Definitions and Feature Descriptions, following.

Feature List - Automatic Location Identification (ALI) - Automatic Number Identification (ANI) - Forced Disconnect - Idle Trunk Tone (Circuit) - Called Party Hold1 - Emergency Ringback1

NOTE 1: Called Party Hold and Emergency Ringback are not currently available due to

technological and facility inabilities of New Jersey Bell’s Central Switching Offices. Both features shall be provisioned within sixty (60) days of notification that the technology and facilities are available.



A9. CENTRAL OFFICE SERVICES 9.2 EMERGENCY REPORTING SERVICES (Cont'd) 9.2.1 9-1-1 ENHANCED SERVICE (9-1-1 E) (Cont'd) A. DESCRIPTION (Cont'd) 2. Definitions and Feature Descriptions Alternate Trunk is the designation used to describe a 9-1-1 E facility located in

the Telephone Company End Office to which the 9-1-1 E call is routed to be completed to a Switching Control Office in the event of failure/outage/overflow of a Primary Trunk. ANI information is provided with Alternate Trunks. Alternate Trunks are connected to the Switching Control Office via an interexchange facility as provided for in Section A12 of this tariff.

Automatic Location Identification (ALI) is the automatic display at the PSAP

of the caller's telephone number, the address/location of the telephone and supplementary emergency services information. Additional telephones with the same number as the calling party's (off-premise extension, etc.) will be identified with the address of the telephone number at the main location. This information is based upon customer provided information, is used for business activities, and its accuracy for 9-1-1 E is not the responsibility of, or guaranteed by, the Telephone Company.

Automatic Number Identification (ANI) is the telephone number associated

with the access line from which a call originates. Called Party Hold allows the Public Safety Answering Point attendant to retain

control of the calling party circuit despite the switchhook condition of the originating station. By remaining off-hook or placing the call on hold, control of the circuit is maintained.

Central Switching Office is the Central Office being provided by New Jersey Bell

Telephone in conjunction with the statewide deployment of 911 E which extends the call and any associated information to the appropriate PSAP.

Emergency Ringback allows the Public Safety Answering Point attendant to

activate this Central Office feature and ring the “on-hook” station which originated the call, when the 9-1-1 caller abandons a call before all information necessary to provide aid is received.

Forced Disconnect is a function of the 9-1-1 E central office trunk circuit that

prevents the jamming of the 9-1-1 E trunks. The PSAP attendant is able to release a connection even though the calling party has not hung up.

A9. CENTRAL OFFICE SERVICES 9.2 EMERGENCY REPORTING SERVICES (Cont'd) 9.2.1 9-1-1 ENHANCED SERVICE (9-1-1 E) (Cont'd) A. DESCRIPTION (Cont'd) 2. Definitions and Feature Descriptions (Cont'd) Idle Trunk Tone (Circuit) Since 911 lines/trunks are arranged for

incoming only service, they do not have Central Office dial tone. In order to inform the Public Safety Answering Point attendant of line status, two types of tones are applied to the line under the following conditions:

If a call is abandoned prior to completion of a report to the Public

Safety Answering Point, a tone consisting of 60 interruptions per minute (busy tone) is applied to the line. If the Public Safety Answering Point attendant seizes an idle 911 circuit, or a caller abandons a 911 call before it is answered, a tone consisting of 120 interruptions per minute (re-order tone) is applied to the line.

Instantaneous Network Backup is a component, required by the State

of New Jersey, Department of Law and Public Safety - Office of Emergency Telecommunications Services (OETS), which enables the capturing of ANI information. In the event of failure of Telephone Company-provisioned network facilities, Central Switching Offices, or other failure, the Instantaneous Network Backup forwards the captured ANI information to a preselected seven digit telephone number.

Operator Trunk is the designation used to describe a 9-1-1 E facility

located in the Telephone Company End Office which will be used for routing of a 9-1-1 E call when an end user dials "0". ANI information is not currently available with Operator Trunks. ANI information will be provided when technologically possible.

Primary Trunk is the designation used to describe the 9-1-1 E facility

located in the Telephone Company End Office to which the 9-1-1 call is routed to be completed to a Switching Control Office. ANI information is provided with Primary Trunks. Primary Trunks are connected to the Switching Control Office via interexchange facilities as provided for in Section A12 of this tariff.

Service Provider is an entity providing one or more of the

following 9-1-1 elements network: network, CPE, or database service.

Enhanced MF accommodates either ten or 20-digits of ANI. Enhanced MF is not a requirement of Wireless Phase 2 implementation but EMF must be used by PSAPs when an interconnecting Wireless Service Provider chooses the Phase 2 NCAS Mode (as defined in J-STD-036 Annex D, Table D.1.2. and/or D.2.), without WLS911. If an interconnecting WSP chooses a Phase 2 NCAS solution without WLS911, the PSAP’s equipment must be 20-digit Enhanced MF capable. The PSAP must request the Telephone Company convert them to EMF signaling when preparing to accept Phase 2 calls from a WSP utilizing Phase 2 NCAS without WLS911. Once a PSAP has been converted to 20-digit EMF Signaling the functionality of WLS911 is disabled for all WSPs serving that PSAP.




A9. CENTRAL OFFICE SERVICES 9.2 EMERGENCY REPORTING SERVICES (Cont’d) 9.2.2. Wireless E911 Phase 2 (Cont’d) E. Wireless E911 Phase 2 Service This service is comprised of two components, Extended ALI Display Format and ALI

Database for Wireless Phase 2. Both components are required for implementation of this service.

1. Extended ALI Display Format The PSAP’s Automatic Location Identification (ALI) display format must be

changed to the Telephone Company’s Extended ALI Display Format to accommodate the latitude and longitude, or x,y coordinates. The provision and delivery of the x,y information to the PSAP requires an interface between the ALI database and the WSP’s Mobile Position Center (MPC)/Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC). The provisioning of the interface is the responsibility of the WSP.

2. ALI Database for Wireless Phase 2 The ALI Database for Wireless Phase 2 enables the PSAP to query and

retrieve wireless caller location information from the Telephone Company’s Automatic Location Identification (ALI) database. Location information may include cell site sector location, longitude and latitude of the wireless caller’s location, and the wireless caller’s callback number (CBN). This will enable the necessary interfaces, software, and databases to permit the wireless caller’s location information to be populated in the Telephone Company’s ALI database and/or retrieved when queried by the customer’s PSAP equipment.

A. DESCRIPTION

1. Frame Relay Service (FRS) is a fast packet network that permits the transmission of data at speeds of 56/64 Kbps, 128 Kbps, 256 Kbps, 384 Kbps, 512 Kbps, DS1, or DS3 using Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs). Utilizing statistical multiplexing, the FRS network enables the customer to allocate circuit bandwidth to applications as needed, rather than assigning fixed channels to specific applications.

2. Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) are logical channels that connect ports on a frame relay switch or between frame relay switches. PVCs are end-to-end, bi-directional channels that are established and disestablished via the service order process. Separate PVCs must be established to each location that the customer desires to transmit data. These PVC channels are virtual because they are established in software tables and do not tie up facilities when not in-use. With FRS, customers may select from three different classes of PVCs to ensure greater reliability for mission-critical applications in the event of network congestion. Multiple PVCs can be defined over a single Frame Relay Access Line (FRAL), thereby providing a single access line the capability to transmit data to multiple destinations.

3. FRS requires the use of customer terminal equipment that functions as a multiplexer,

bridger or router. This terminal equipment must be purchased separately from the FRS and must conform to Consultative Committee for International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards set forth in ITU: Q.933 Annex A, ANSI: T1.617 Annex D. The terminal equipment accumulates customer data and puts it into a frame relay format suitable for transmission over the FRS network.

10.8 FRAME RELAY SERVICE (Cont.’d) A. DESCRIPTION (Cont’d) 4. In the operation of FRS, Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), such as frame relay

assembler and disassemblers, encapsulate arriving data into variable length frames. These frames contain information, data link connection identifier (DLCI) addresses, identifying which PVC in the network should be used to forward the frame to the proper destination. The CPE then sends the frame into the FRS network over a dedicated access facility called a User Network Interface (UNI). The frame relay switch reads identifying information and routes the frame to the proper destination based on pre-established PVC.

5. Variable frame length capability is useful in communications between asynchronous

Local Area Networks (LAN) and for transport of synchronous data traffic. FRS is capable of handling the requirements of bursty data sources because of the ability of the service to allocate additional bandwidth when not in use by other sources.

6. FRS is provided to the customer in the form of a FRAL, Frame Relay User Network

Interface Port and the PVC. 7. The actual throughput of aggregated PVC bandwidths in use at the same time on the

same port cannot exceed the port speed. 8. Since multiple PVCs may be defined on one physical port, it is possible for the cumulative

Committed Information Rate (CIR)s to exceed the physical bandwidth of that port. This is referred to as oversubscription and when this occurs, there can be no guarantee that the CIR defined for that port and PVC will be available at any point in time.

A10. MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE OFFERINGS 10.8 FRAME RELAY SERVICE (Cont'd) A. DESCRIPTION (Cont’d) 9. The CIR and the Excess Burst Size (Be) are traffic management parameters that allow

the customer to fine tune implementation of FRS in conjunction with the classes of PVCs offered.

10. 64 Kbps Clear Channel Capability (CCC) will be provided upon request and where

deemed applicable by the Company. Special construction charges may apply.

B. DEFINITIONS 1. 64 Kbps Clear Channel Capability (CCC) - A channel connection that provides an

end-to-end digital connection between the customer's premises and the customer's serving wire center in which all 64 Kbps of bandwidth are available for the customer's use.

2. Committed Information Rate (CIR) - CIR defines the amount of data throughput on

any designated PVC that the Telephone Company will support under normal operating conditions. CIR is administered per PVC. Any data burst beyond the CIR may be labeled Discard Eligible (DE) if the data transfer rate exceeds the CIR of the PVC being used. If the FRS network develops congestion, the frames marked DE may be discarded. At service subscription, the customer must specify the service class and CIR associated with each PVC. The retransmission of discarded frames is administered by the customer’s CPE.

3. Customer Designated Location (CDL) - The geographic location designated by the

customer where the customer’s CPE is first considered to enter the Telephone Company’s network.

4. Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) – The address information contained in the

frame relay header which conveys to the network how an individual frame should be routed. The DLCI essentially defines to which customer end point a particular frame should be sent.

5. Excess Burst Size (Be) - Denotes the data rate above Committed Information Rate

(CIR) at which customer data will be admitted to the FRS network. All Excess Burst data admitted to the network will be designated discard eligible.

6. Frame - A sequence of contiguous bits delimited by beginning and ending flag

sequences.

7. Frame Relay Access Line (FRAL) – A FRAL is a UNI that provides access to the FRS

network. A FRAL includes the provision of a frame relay access port and the physical facility from the customer designated location to the Telephone Company Serving Wire Center.

Tariff page revised October 19, 2009, to reflect the d/b/a name change from Embarq to CenturyLink. Filed pursuant to Order in Docket No. TT99020108 of the Board of Public Utilities, State of New Jersey, dated September 1, 1999.


A10. MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE OFFERINGS 10.8 FRAME RELAY SERVICE (Cont'd) B. DEFINITIONS (Cont’d) 8. Frame Relay Access Port (FRAP) – FRAP is a port on the FRS network that is used

to interconnect other Telephone Company provided private line services such as DigiLinksm, TransLinksm or a digital cross connect system port to the FRS network. The FRAP is the physical entry point for PVCs. Ports include the electronic equipment used in connecting these service elements to the FRS network and enable customers to allocate bandwidth to applications as needed.

9. Frame Relay Service (FRS) – A fast packet network that provides the customer high-

speed access and throughput to different customer addresses. Utilizing statistical multiplexing, the FRS network enables the customer to allocate bandwidth to applications as needed, rather than dedicating fixed channels to specific applications. Customers may select from three different classes of PVCs to ensure greater reliability for mission-critical applications in the event of network congestion.

10. Frame Relay Service Network Serving Area – Certain Telephone Company central

offices are designated by the Telephone Company as Serving Area Points for the FRS Network Serving Area.

11. Gateway Service – This service allows the Telephone Company FRS customers to

interconnect to other frame relay networks. The service is available wherever the Telephone Company has established a network interface with another private or public frame relay network. Gateway Service is only available where such network connectivity exists or where suitable connectivity arrangements can be made that are acceptable to the Telephone Company.

12. Local Access and Transport Area - The term "Local Access and Transport Area"

(LATA) denotes a geographic area for the provision and administration of communications service.

13. Local Area Network (LAN) – A network permitting the interconnection and

intercommunication of a group of computers, primarily for the sharing of resources such as data storage devices and printers.

14. Logical Channel – A communications channel that allows two-way, simultaneous

transmission of sequenced data packets through the network. No circuit capacity is pre-assigned to a logical channel. Capacity is made available as the data is transmitted. Each PVC is considered one logical channel.

15. Maximum Burst Rate (MBR) - The term "Maximum Burst Rate (MBR)" denotes the

maximum information rate at which customer traffic will be admitted to the FRS network. Traffic rates in excess of MBR will be automatically discarded on ingress to the network. Maximum Burst Rate is equal to the sum of the Committed Information Rate (CIR) and Excess Burst Size (Be).

16. Network to Network Interface (NNI) – The NNI specifies how a frame relay switch

sends and receives data from a frame relay interexchange carrier’s or other customer's network.

A10. MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE OFFERINGS 10.8 FRAME RELAY SERVICE (Cont'd) B. DEFINITIONS (Cont’d) 17. Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) - The PVC provides a software-defined electronic

path between the two ports within the FRS network. A UNI or NNI port connection can be associated with multiple PVCs. Since all PVCs need not be in use at the same time, it is possible for the total CIR of all PVCs associated with one port to exceed the bandwidth of the port. It is not possible, however for the simultaneous aggregate of the PVCs throughput to exceed the bandwidth of the port. Such a relationship is referred to as oversubscription or overbooking, and when this occurs, there can be no guarantee that the bandwidth defined for that PVC will be available at any point in time. PVCs classified as Frame for Voice receive the highest priority routing with PVCs classified as Frame for SNA next in priority. Frame for LAN PVCs receive standard frame relay switching priority.

18. Private Network Link (PNL) - The PNL is the facilities used from a customer's frame

relay switch location to the Telephone Company's Enhanced Frame Relay Service Network. Normally a DS1 service.

19. Protocol - A specific set of rules, procedures or conventions relating to format and timing

of data transmission between two devices. It is a standard procedure that two data devices must accept and use to be able to understand each other. Protocols break a file into parts called blocks or packets. These packets are sent and the receiving computer checks the arriving packet and sends an acknowledgment back to the sending computer.

20. Service Points - Geographical locations designated by the Company where FRS

network ports are located and where the FRS network is accessed.

21. Serving Wire Center (SWC) - The customer’s serving wire center is the Telephone

Company central office from which the customer normally receives dial tone.

22. Systems Network Architecture (SNA) - IBM's data communications scheme. 23. Statistical Multiplexing – A multiplexing technique in which timeslots are dynamically

allocated on the basis of need rather than being predetermined. The data is typically transmitted on a first come, first served basis.

24. User to Network Interface (UNI) – The UNI is a standard interface used to connect the

end user to the Telephone Company FRS network. It receives the data frame from the customer’s LAN or other CPE devices and verifies that the DLCI is valid before relaying the frame to the destination point.

25. Utilization Reports - Reports that the customer can order that display circuit

utilization for Frame Relay Access Ports (FRAP) and Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVC).

If it is necessary to construct facilities to satisfy service requests, the service may be provided pursuant to the Telephone Company’s Special Construction provisions.

2. FRS is provided to the customer in the form of an FRAL or a combination of digital,

private line transport facilities (i.e. DigiLink or TransLink) and a FRAP, and a PVC at a specified CIR. The FRAL, or a combination of DigiLink/TransLink and a FRAP, forms the customer access component to the FRS network. DS3 FRS is not offered bundled with the FRAL. DS3 FRS is available on a FRAP only basis and the DS3 access line is obtained on an Individual Case Basis (ICB). The FRAP Only offerings are provided for digital special access line connections to the network supporting FRS. Digital special access lines are available from the Local Telephone Company's General, Intrastate Access Service, or CenturyLink Operating Companies Tariff F.C.C. No. 9, as they now exist, and as may be revised, added to or supplemented. A PVC must be ordered for transmission between any two locations. The CIR determines the speed that will be supported by the Telephone Company FRS network under normal operating conditions.

(*)

3. The minimum service period for FRS is three months. FRS may be ordered on a

month-to-month basis or through a Term Discount Plan for fixed periods of 12 to 84 months.

4. When the customer orders additional PVCs, nonrecurring charges shall apply. In

addition, nonrecurring charges shall apply to all changes made to a customer’s FRS configuration at the customer’s request. Such changes are defined as those necessary to add, delete, or rearrange the customer’s configuration, including changes to PVC classes and CIRs. One PVC nonrecurring charge shall apply for each PVC changed.

5. A customer subscribing to a FRAL or FRAP and a PVC will be referred to as the

Controller of the FRAL or FRAP. A customer may request data transmission capability to a different customer's location. Both customers must subscribe to frame relay service. The customer wanting PVC connectivity to another customer's location as such must have written permission from the Controller of the FRAL or FRAP for this data transmission capability.

The FRAL or FRAP and PVC may be ordered and billed independently and can

have different customers as Controllers. A request by one customer to discontinue a PVC does not result in the disconnection of the FRAL and/or FRAP. Only the Controller of a FRAL or FRAP may authorize the disconnection of that FRAL or FRAP.

A10. MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE OFFERINGS 10.8 FRAME RELAY SERVICE (Cont'd) E. OBLIGATIONS OF THE CUSTOMER (Cont'd) 4. At service subscription, the customer must specify the CIR class and Be of each PVC

ordered. CIR is the maximum information rate at which the customer's traffic will be admitted to the FRS network without being designated eligible for discard. A default of fifty (50) percent of the smallest port size will be assigned as the CIR should the information not be provided. No individual PVC CIR shall exceed (95) percent of the FRAP access rate. The sum of all CIR on a single FRAP must not exceed two hundred (200) percent of the FRAP access rate.

F. TERM DISCOUNT PLAN (TDP) 1. Term Discount Plan (TDPs) are available for FRALs, FRAPs and PNLs. TDPs provide

the customer with discounted rates for the services listed. The customer agrees to a minimum service commitment period for FRS when the TDP is established. Customers may disconnect or move PVCs and not be subject to termination liability charges. The customer must order a TDP in writing to the Telephone Company. A TDP may be ordered in increments of one month, based on the following plan options.

Plan A: 12 - 23 months Plan B: 24 - 35 months Plan C: 36 - 59 months Plan D: 60 - 84 months The customer must specify the length of the initial service period at the time the service

is ordered. When a customer converts to a TDP, no administrative charges are applied toward facilities in-service at that time. If a customer moves from a month-to-month plan to a TDP, or upgrades from one TDP to another, no administrative charges are applied.

2. If a customer under a Term Discount Plan (TDP) disconnects all or a portion of Frame

Relay Service prior to the expiration of the TDP, then a Termination Liability Charge will apply to those services that are disconnected. The Termination Liability Charge will be a one-time charge equal to the sum of 50% of the payments remaining for the rest of the TDP. If Special Construction charges were applied to the service being terminated, any termination charges associated with Special Construction will also apply.#

A10. MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE OFFERINGS 10.8 FRAME RELAY SERVICE (Cont'd) F. TERM DISCOUNT PLAN (TDP) (Cont'd) 3. Rate increases or decreases will automatically be applied to the monthly term

plan rates for the remaining term of the TDP. If a Telephone Company initiated rate increase to any rate element or combination of rate elements causes the charges for the entire Frame Relay Service under the TDP to increase by 10% or more annually, then the customer may cancel the TDP without incurring termination liability charges provided the customer notifies the Company within 30 days after the effective date of the rate increase.#

* * * * *

4. TDP commitment periods can be extended by the customer at any time during

the term of the plan, up to a maximum of 84 months. The number of months accrued in the current plan will apply toward the new plan selected.

5. At the end of the TDP service commitment period, the customer may subscribe to

a new TDP at the prevailing rates set forth in Section H following. If the customer does not select a new TDP, the rates will convert to the prevailing month-to-month rates.

6. Termination Liability Charges will not apply when a service or rate element

under a TDP is disconnected prior to the expiration of a selected service period as a result of a change in tariff jurisdiction and/or a customer requested upgrade to a next generation service offering, under the following conditions:

The service period of the new TDP for the new service offering is a period equal to or exceeding the remaining service period of the disconnected TDP, and The service orders to install the new service and disconnect the old service are related together, and there is no lapse in service between installation of the new service and disconnection of the older service, and The service orders to install the new service and disconnect the old service are for the same customer at the same location.

7. The Company will determine whether the replacement service qualifies as a next generation service offering.

8. Nonrecurring charges and Service Connection Charges for the new service

will apply according to the requirements of the new service.

A10. MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE OFFERINGS 10.8 FRAME RELAY SERVICE (Cont'd) G. SERVICE COMPONENTS 1. Frame Relay Access Line (FRAL) - A nonrecurring charge and monthly rate apply

based on the speed of the port connection for each physical connection. The FRAL includes the provision of a port.

2. Frame Relay Access Port (FRAP) - A nonrecurring charge and monthly rate based on the speed of the port connection applies per port connection to the network supporting FRS. The port rate element can be used in lieu of the FRAL element if the customer has an alternative Company-approved means of access to the FRS network (such as DigiLink and/or TransLink).

3. CIR and PVC - A monthly rate applies for each PVC based on the CIR requested by the customer. If no CIR is indicated, the CIR will be set at the default of 50% of the associated Frame Relay Port. A nonrecurring charge applies for the establishment of each PVC and for each subsequent order of PVC(s).

Customers may select from three different classes of PVCs to ensure greater reliability for mission-critical applications in the event of network congestion: Service Class Type PVC Priority Frame for LAN Standard Normal Frame for SNA Premium Higher Frame for Voice Premium Highest This flexibility helps to ensure maximum performance and satisfaction for individual customer data applications.

Tariff page revised October 19, 2009, to reflect the d/b/a name change from Embarq to CenturyLink. Filed pursuant to Order in Docket No. Administratively Closed of the Board of Public Utilities, State of New Jersey, dated August 30, 2001.



10.8 FRAME RELAY SERVICE (Cont'd) G. SERVICE COMPONENTS (Cont'd) 4. Administrative Charge – Applies to changes in a customer’s network configuration such as

additions or changes of PVCs. Although multiple changes can be caused by such actions, only one administrative charge applies.

5. Private Network Link (PNL) - A charge for a DS1 facility from a customer’s frame relay

switch location to the Telephone Company’s FRS Network. In addition to the access facility, a 1.544 FRAP must be purchased.

6. Frame to Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Inter-Networking Links - The Telephone

Company may establish facilities between FRS switching equipment and ATM Service switching equipment and may allow customers to share bandwidth on these facilities. Where these shared facilities are available to customers, the Frame to ATM Inter-Networking Link option exists. In addition to the FRS Customer Connection, the customer may subscribe to a Frame to ATM Inter-Networking Link. Links that extend between FRS and ATM switches must have an associated CIR. At least one PVC is required between both customer premises through the Frame to ATM Inter-Networking Link. All CIRs on this PVC must have the same value. Frame to ATM Inter-Networking Links are only available where such facilities exist.

7. Gateway Service - This service allows the Telephone Company FRS customers to

interconnect to another frame relay network. The service is available wherever the Telephone Company has established a network interface with another private or public frame relay network. The charge for this service covers the FRAP and interconnecting facilities from the Telephone Company to the interconnection point with the other provider. The charge includes the software defined PVC to the other company’s network to the UNI port, but does not include the UNI port provided by the other company. The Gateway charge is purchased in increments of CIR. The following diagram shows a typical customer network that has three data devices interconnected to the Telephone Company FRS (sites D, E & F). The customer needs to interconnect their data devices to a fourth site (C) served by another company. The customer accomplishes this by ordering three PVCs and three Gateway service connections to the other company’s frame relay network. This example assumes that frame relay access from site C is already established as illustrated.

A10. MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE OFFERINGS 10.10 LIGHTLINK® SERVICE E. RATE CATEGORIES There are three basic rate elements which apply to LightLink® Service: - Channel Termination - Channel Mileage - Optional Features and Functions 1. Channel Termination The Channel Termination rate category provides for the communications path

between a customer designated premises and the Serving Wire Center. Included as part of the Channel Termination is a standard channel interface arrangement which defines the technical characteristics associated with the type of facilities to which the service is to be connected at the point of termination (POT) and the type of signaling capability if any. The signaling capability itself is provided as a part of this rate category. One Channel Termination charge applies per customer designated premises at which the channel is terminated. The charges applicable to the Channel Termination vary based on distance, as set forth in 10.10.G.1 following.

2. Channel Mileage The Channel Mileage rate category provides for the end office equipment and the

transmission channel between the Serving Wire Centers associated with two customer designated premises. Channel Mileage rates are made up of the Channel Mileage Facility (per mile) rate and the Channel Mileage Termination (fixed) rate. Channel Mileage charges are set forth in 10.10.G.2.

a. Channel Mileage Facility (Per Mile) The Channel Mileage Facility (per mile) rate recovers the cost for the

transmission path, which extends between the Company Serving Wire Centers and includes primarily outside plant used to provide the facility.

b. Channel Mileage Termination (Fixed) The Channel Mileage Termination (fixed) rate recovers the cost for end office

equipment associated with terminating the facility (i.e., basic circuit equipment and terminations at Serving Wire Centers). The Company applies a 50% billing percentage to the channel mileage fixed rate on jointly owned circuits, and applies 100% on wholly owned circuits. When the Channel Mileage Facility (per mile) is zero (i.e., collocated Serving Wire Centers), neither the Channel Mileage Facility (per mile) rate nor the Channel Mileage Termination (fixed) rate will apply.



A10. MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE OFFERINGS 10.10 LIGHTLINK® SERVICE E. RATE CATEGORIES (Cont'd) 3. Optional Features and Functions Optional Features and Functions may be added to improve the quality or utility to

meet the customer’s specific communications requirements. These are not necessarily identifiable with specific equipment, but rather represent the end result in terms of performance characteristics, which may be obtained. These characteristics may be obtained by using various combination of equipment. Optional Features and Functions that are available include the following:

a. Central Office Multiplexing DS3 to DS1 - An arrangement that converts a 44.736 Mbps channel to 28 DS1

channels using digital time division multiplexing. Central Office Multiplexing is not available at the customer's premises.

b. Clear Channel Capability (CCC) Clear Channel Capability (CCC) is an arrangement that alters a DS1/1.544

Mbps signal with unconstrained information bits to meet pulse density requirements outlined in Technical Reference Publications GR-54 and GR-342. This will allow a customer to transport an all zero octet over a DS1/1.544 Mbps channel providing an available combined maximum 1.536 Mbps data rate. This arrangement requires the customer signal at the channel interface to conform to Bipolar with 8 Zero Substitution (B8ZS) line code as described in Technical Reference Publications GR-54 and GR-342.

CCC is provided on DS1/1.544 Mbps channels of a LightLink® Service facility

between two customer designated premises and is subject to the availability of facilities. This optional feature may be ordered at the same time the LightLink®

Service channel is ordered, or it may be ordered as an additional feature of an existing LightLink® Service channel.

c. Multiplexed Service Connection A Multiplexed Service Connection is an arrangement that allows one DS1

channel of a multiplexed Company service to be connected to one DS1 channel with like signaling of another Company service. For example, the lesser speed may be an ISDN-PRI DS1 channel connected between a multiplexed DS3

service. A Multiplexed Service Connection will be provided at all Company locations where Central Office Multiplexing is performed.



A10. MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE OFFERINGS 10.10 LIGHTLINK® SERVICE F. APPLICATION OF RATES 1. Each LightLink® Service facility may be comprised of one or two Channel Terminations.

Where both customer premises are served by the same Serving Wire Center, the service will consist of two Channel Terminations. Where each customer premises is served by different Serving Wire Centers, the service will consist of two Channel Terminations, one Channel Mileage Termination (fixed) and the Channel Mileage Facility (per mile) between Serving Wire Centers. Where one customer premises is involved, the Channel Termination of a lower bandwidth service can be replaced with a LightLink® Service Channel Termination. For example, the Channel Termination associated with ISDN-PRI Service, referred to as an ISDN-PRI Primary Rate Access Line, can be replaced with a LightLink® Service Channel Termination to connect the ISDN-PRI Service to the Serving Wire Center of the customer's designated premises.

2. The Channel Termination rate element for LightLink® Service will vary based on

distance. The mileage used to determine the monthly rate for Channel Terminations located outside a Company central office is the airline distance between the customer’s designated premises and the Company's Serving Wire Center. The mileage measurement is determined by utilizing exchange maps and mileage tables located in designated Company offices for such purposes.

3. Intraexchange channels furnished between Company central offices will be charged at

10.15 VOICE BUSINESS CONTINUITY A. GENERAL

1. Voice Business Continuity allows the subscriber to establish predetermined alternate

routing plans for incoming voice traffic. Voice Business Continuity can be used as a disaster recovery service. The alternate routing plan, referred to hereafter as “Routing Plan,” is created by the subscriber working with a Company representative when Voice Business Continuity is established. The Routing Plan is then loaded into the central office which serves the customer location, where it remains dormant until activated. This service is available with T1 based voice channel service such as ISDN-PRI.

2. The subscriber must establish a Routing Plan for each location included in the serving

arrangement for which traffic is to be rerouted. The Voice Business Continuity subscriber must then contact the Company to activate the Routing Plan(s). This will route traffic to number(s) pre-selected by the Voice Business Continuity subscriber. In order to restore the original call routing, the subscriber must contact the Company to deactivate the alternate routing plan.

3. Voice Business Continuity is designed to be a disaster recover service not available

for routine call routing such as after hours call forwarding. The Company reserves the right to deny activation if this service is used for non-emergency situations.

B DEFINITIONS

ARRANGEMENT

Consists of one or more Routing Plans that have been identified by the subscriber.

BACKUP NUMBER The number that calls are rerouted to when the Routing Plan is activated. DIRECTED NUMBER Any subscriber number at the customer location included in the Routing Plan for which

incoming calls will be rerouted when the plan is activated. ROUTING PLAN (1) The alternate call routing plan established by the subscriber that can be activated at the

subscriber’s request. The Routing Plan handles a maximum of five telephone numbers at one customer location. Additional Routing Plans are required for each additional customer location.

(1) Routing Plans provisioned with more than five telephone numbers at one customer location

are limited to existing locations, effective January 23, 2010.

10.15 VOICE BUSINESS CONTINUITY (Continued) C. REGULATIONS

1. Voice Business Continuity is available where facilities or arrangements permit. The

Company has the right to deny a request due to other operational priorities or the nature of the request.

2. The Voice Business Continuity subscriber must specify one or more primary points of

contact and password which will be used by the Company representative to verify a request to activate, deactivate, or modify a subscriber’s Routing Plan.

3. If the subscriber requests a Routing Plan with three or more Backup Numbers,

requests assignment of a Redirected Number with more than one Backup Number, or requires that the Routing Plan handle more than twelve simultaneous calls to the Redirected Number, the Route Complexity Charge will apply. A Route Complexity Charge may also apply for other complex scenarios as identified by the Company. Provisioning of such requests is subject to approval of the Company and acceptance of the subscriber of the additional charge prior to provisioning by the Company.

4. A subscriber must identify one Backup Number for each Redirected Number in the

Routing Plan or one Backup Number for multiple Redirected Numbers in the Routing Plan.

5. Upon request of the Voice Business Continuity subscriber, the Company will work with

the subscriber to test the operation of the Routing Plan after initial establishment. Also upon request by the subscriber, the Company will test normal service before initiating recovery from an activated Routing Plan.

6. After initial establishment of the Routing Plan the subscriber may change the plan for

a given location up to five times per contract year, at no charge. A Plan Update Charge will apply for all subsequent changes. Changes include, but are not limited to, adding or dropping a number or changing a Backup Number(s).

7. The Voice Business Continuity subscriber is responsible for payment of usage

charges (toll, expanded local, or other) for each call routed to a subscriber location not included in the same local calling area as the original subscriber location.

8. Unless the Voice Business Continuity subscriber identifies a different Interexchange

Carrier (IC) for any traffic routed to an out of LATA location, the Routing Plan will use their existing IC.

9. This service is not eligible for Suspension of Service (Vacation Service) as specified

in Section 2 of this Tariff.

10.15 VOICE BUSINESS CONTINUITY (Continued) C. REGULATIONS (Continued)

10. Each of the Voice Business Continuity subscriber’s Redirected Numbers must reside

in a Company central office. 11. The Voice Business Continuity subscriber is responsible in ensuring that the Backup

Number(s) have adequate facilities to support the increase in call volume. 12. The activated Routing Plan will remain active until the Voice Business Continuity

subscriber requests to have original call routing restored. D. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The following provisions apply in addition to the Limitation of Liability provisions specified in

Section 2 of this Tariff.

1. Voice Business Continuity is intended to allow a subscriber to reroute incoming calls. It may provide help during some network affecting problems, such as a cut cable between the end office and the subscriber’s location by rerouting incoming calls to an alternate location. However, the Company does not guarantee the availability or reliability of Voice Business Continuity in the event of a network affecting disaster. In the event of a network affecting disaster, Voice Business Continuity may function normally, may not function at all, or it may function unpredictably depending on what part of the network is affected and how serious the affect is.

2. Activation of subscriber plans will be performed on a first come, first served basis.

When the subscriber requests that Voice Business Continuity be activated, every effort will be made to activate the service as rapidly as possible. However, the length of the delay between the time that the subscriber requests activation and the time that activation actually occurs depends on a number of factors including the number of other Voice Business Continuity activations being processed when a particular request is received as well as the network load at the time the Voice Business Continuity activation command is received. In the case of an area-wide crisis, if many subscribers call at the same time to request service activation, those calling last may have a considerably longer waiting period for activation to be completed. As a result, no representation is made as to the length of time it will take to implement a particular activation request.


Filed pursuant to order in Docket No. TT07060362 of the Board of Public Utilities, State of New Jersey, dated August 22, 2007.



10.15 VOICE BUSINESS CONTINUITY (Continued) D. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY (Continued) The following provisions apply... (Continued) 3. In no event shall the Company, nor its agents, be liable for any losses or damages of

any kind resulting from the unavailability of its equipment or facilities or for any act, omission, or failure of performance by the Company, or its employees, or agents, in connection with this Tariff. Neither the Company, nor its agents, shall be responsible for calls that cannot be completed as a result of repair or maintenance difficulties on Company facilities and equipment, nor on equipment owned or leased by the subscriber.

4. Neither the Company, nor its agents, assume liability for any loss of revenues,

increased costs, expenses, liabilities, or inconvenience experienced by the subscriber due to any unsatisfactory performance of Voice Business Continuity. Further, neither the Company, nor its agents, shall assume any liability for consequential, indirect, or incidental damages.

d. The Plan Update Charge applies for subscriber-initiated changes to a Routing

Plan in excess of the five changes allowed per contract year. Also, a subscriber may incur additional charges if requested changes to the Routing Plan warrant a Route Complexity Charge.

11.1 V-H MEASUREMENTS

A. Description

The V-H method of measurement is based on vertical and horizontal grid lines. The spacing between adjacent vertical grid lines and adjacent horizontal grid lines represents a distance of one coordinate unit. This unit is the square root of 0.1, expressed in statute miles. A vertical (V) and a horizontal (H) coordinate have been computed for each rate center from its latitude and longitude. These are shown for each rate center in C. following. A pair of V-H coordinates locates a rate center, for the purpose of determining airline mileages, at a particular intersection of a vertical grid line with a horizontal grid line.

B. Procedure For Determining Mileage Distances

1. Ascertain the rate centers for the points concerned by reference to D. following for central office designations and E. following for cities, towns and localities. The same central office designation may be assigned to a rate center in each of the three * Numbering Plan Areas in New Jersey, which are designated by the codes 201, 609 and 908, respectively. The area in which each rate * center is located is also shown in D. following.

2. The mileage between these rate centers is then determined as follows:

(a) For Interexchange Extension, Foreign Exchange, Tie, Private and Teletypewriter Service Lines; Secretarial Lines; and Series 1000, 2000, 3000 and 7000 Channels: (1) Obtain the V and H coordinates for each rate center from C.

following.

(2) Obtain the difference between the V coordinates of the two rate centers; obtain the difference between the H coordinates. (The difference is always obtained by subtracting the smaller coordinate from the larger coordinate.)

(3) Square each difference obtained in (2) preceding.

(4) Add the squares of the V difference and the H difference obtained in (3) above.




11.1 V-H MEASUREMENTS (Cont'd) B. Procedure For Determining Mileage Distances (Cont'd)

2. The mileage between these rate centers is then determined as follows: (Cont'd) (a) For Interexchange Extension, Foreign Exchange, Tie, Private and

Teletypewriter Service Lines; Secretarial Lines; and Series 1000, 2000, 3000 and 7000 Channels: (Cont'd) (5) Divide the sum of the squares obtained in (4) above by 10. (6) Obtain the square root of the result obtained in (5) above.

This is the rate distance in miles. (Fractional miles being considered as full miles.)

(b) For Message Telecommunication Service:

(1) Obtain the V and H coordinates for each rate center from C.

following.

(2) Obtain the difference between the V coordinates of the two rate centers; obtain the difference between the H coordinates. (The difference is always obtained by subtracting the smaller coordinate from the larger coordinate.)

(3) Refer to the Table of Message Telecommunication Rate Mileages Associated with Coordinate Differences in F. following. Lo- cate the larger of the two coordinate differences obtained in (2) preceding in the left hand margin of the table, and the smaller coordinate difference in the lower margin of the table. The figure shown at the intersection of the rows in which these appear is the airline distance between the rate centers. Where a coordinate difference obtained in (2) preceding is not specifically shown in the table, the next larger coordinate difference is used in determining the mileage.

G. Meet Point Billing Identification and V and H Coordinates

Meet Point Billing is used to determine the interexchange mileage that New Jersey Bell will bill to its customers for Channel Services from or to an independent telephone company. These services include Interex- change extensions; Foreign Exchange; Tie, Private and Teletypewriter Service Lines; Secretarial Lines; and Series 1000, 2000 and 3000 Channels. The mileage between these rate centers is determined as follows: (1) Obtain the V and H coordinates for the originating and terminating

rate centers from C. following. Using the procedure in 11.1,B.2.a. of this Section, determine the total mileage between the New Jersey Bell rate center and the independent company rate center. Do not round the resulting mileage figure as indicated in step 11.1,B.2.a.(6).

(2) Obtain the V and H coordinate of the boundary Meet Point for the in-

volved independent telephone company from G. following.

(3) Obtain the difference between the V coordinate of the New Jersey Bell rate center found in step (1) and the V coordinate of the Meet Point found in step (2). Obtain the difference between the H coordinate of the New Jersey Bell rate center and the H coordinate of the Meet Point. (The difference is always obtained by subtracting the smaller coordinate from the larger coordinate.)

(4) Square the New Jersey Bell/Meet Point difference for the V and H

coordinates obtained in step (3).

(5) Add the square of the V difference and of the H difference obtained in step (4).

(6) Take the sum of the squares from step (5) and divide it by 10. (*) (7) Take the square root of the result obtained in step (6).

(8) Obtain the difference between the V coordinate of the independent

company rate center found in step (1) and the V coordinate of the Meet Point found in step (2). Obtain the difference between the H coordinate of the independent company rate center and the H coordinate of the Meet Point. (The difference is always obtained by subtracting the smaller coordinate from the larger coordinate.)

(9) Square the independent company/Meet Point difference for the V and H

coordinates obtained in step (8).




11.1 V-H MEASUREMENTS (Cont'd) G. Meet Point Billing Identification and V and H Coordiantes (Cont'd)

(10) Add the squares of the V difference and of the H difference obtained

in step (9).

(11) Take the sum of the squares from step (10) and divide by 10.

(12) Take the square root of the result obtained in step (11).

(13) Take the square root results from step (7) and step (12) and add them together.

(14) Divide the square root of step (12) by the result of step (13). This

number is the percent of the mileage in this Company's territory.

(15) Multiply the result of step (14) by the V and H mileage determined in step (1). Fractional miles of one-half mile or greater will be rounded to the next highest mile, below one-half mile will be reduced to next lowest mile. This is the mileage this Company will bill for their portion of the channel.

Same Continuous Property - Denotes that continuous plot of ground occupied by a customer provided that:

A. The property is not separated by public highways, or property occupied

by others. However, where a customer owns or leases properties separated by a public highway, street, alley, railroad, river, stream or other body of water (absent which such properties would otherwise be continuous), those properties are considered continuous provided that they are served on a direct basis without routing through the general plant distribution system. Any new poles, conduit or other special arrangements required for the attaching of wire facilities between the properties must be furnished and maintained by (or at the expense of) the customer.

B. The entire property is located either within the same exchange area or within not more than two adjacent exchange areas.

C. A right-of-way, such as that for pipelines, power lines, highways,

bridges, etc., is not considered as continuous property in the application of rate treatment.





Same Continuous Property Channel - See Inter-Building Channel. Same Exchange Service - As used herein, a service connecting stations wholly within one exchange and not connected to an interexchange channel. Station - Denotes the transmitting/receiving equipment furnished by the customer at the customer's premises. Terminal - Same as Station. Termination Point - A point at which a Company-provided channel is connected with customer-provided terminal equipment.




12.1.2 SCOPE

Channel service consists to two-point or multi-point communications service offerings usually dedicated solely to the use of a particular customer. Channels are electrical paths utilized for transmitting signals, voice or data communications. Channels are derived in such a manner as the Company may elect and are suitable for the purpose for which they are furnished. While it is contemplated that the customer may provide the terminal apparatus and wiring (exclusive of the equipment necessary to derive and terminate the channel which is provided by the Company), at the request of the customer and provided that request is reasonable, termination equipment may be provided by the Company under a deregulated basis. * Facilities, consisting of channels, terminations and arrangements are classified by Series and further classified within each Series by Type. The various Series and Types are described in terms of characteristics and use. The Types of channel services furnished are described in the preceding portion of this Section.

12.1.3 LIMITATIONS

A. General

The number of points that may be connected and the distance over which satisfactory transmission is possible are limited by operating and transmission factors. The Company cannot guarantee, where requested by a customer in connection with channel service, that a metallic facility will be provided. The customer may create or derive additional channels from facilities furnished by the Company. The Company makes no representation as to the suitability of the channels provided by it when subdivided into additional channels by the customer. Channels may not be used for purposes normally requiring a higher grade of channel. Certain combinations of channels and services will be furnished on an alternate use basis. The customer may switch from one channel (or service) to an alternate channel (or service), but only one type of operation can be used at one time. This service is available on two- point services, and where services or channels involve more than two points, alternate use service is furnished subject to the availability of suitable facilities.




12.1.3 LIMITATIONS (Cont'd)

B. Connections With Customer Facilities

Customer-provided terminal equipment or communications systems may be connected with facilities furnished by the Company for channel service when such connections are made in accordance with the regulations set forth in this Tariff. Customer-provided communications systems may be connected to any channel service furnished by the company provided that the customer has a (*) regular and continuing need for the origination or termination of communications (on the premises where the channel service is being provided).

12.2 APPLICATION OF RATES AND CHARGES A. General

The rates and regulations in effect for exchange access services are also applicable to the exchange portion of a total communications service when an exchange access service is used in conjunction with channel service, or actually connected to channel service.

The rates set forth herein apply, unless otherwise specified in this Tariff, and are in addition to the established rate treatment for service and facilities (including non-recurring and construction charges), as set forth elsewhere in this Tariff.

12.1.11 MILEAGE MEASUREMENTS A. Interexchange Mileage 1. For mileage measurement purposes, a centrally located rate center has

been established for each exchange area. Interexchange mileage for channel services is the airline distance between such rate centers, determined in accordance with the provisions of B. following. A fractional mile is considered to be a complete mile for measurement rating purposes.

2. Fixed local channel costs are developed using weighted average

costs based on the ownership of terminations. Weighted average costs are derived by dividing total billable local channel costs by the Telephone Company's billable terminations. The Telephone Company applies 100% of the local channel rate to each circuit whether wholly or jointly provided.

B. Series 1000/2000/3000 Channels 1. Two-Point Service The interexchange mileage for two-point service is the airline distance

(per mile) between the rate centers for the exchanges in which the service points are located.

2. Multi-Point Service

The interexchange mileage for multi-point service is that combination of airline distances connecting service points (exchanges) which will produce the lowest total interexchange mileage distance. The airline distance between each pair of points is determined in accordance with 1. above.

2. Multi-Point Service (Cont'd)

Where the customer specifies the sequence in which the rate centers are to be connected, the mileage distance is the airline mileage between the rate centers in the customer's specified sequence. Once the overall rate mileage distance is selected, each segment ("leg") is considered to be a separate interexchange channel for the purpose of applying the interexchange mileage charges. That is, each "leg" will have one charge for the first mile and a different charge for each additional mile.

12.2.2 NON-RECURRING CHARGES

A. General

Service Connection Charges are specified elsewhere in this Tariff. The * following charges are in addition to those charges as well as any other * charges specified in this section. The non-recurring charges specified in this section contemplate that the work be done in connection with the same service, at the same time, at one or more locations of that service.

calls of customers who subscribe to Caller ID and Enhanced Call Waiting. Call Waiting with Options requires special central office equipment and will be provided only where such facilities are available.

An Analog Display Service Interface (ADSI) compatible telephone must be utilized in order to identify the call waiting caller and provide the options available to the subscriber.

The subscriber has the options of answering the call, sending a “please

hold” message to the caller, sending a busy message to the caller, forwarding the caller to voice messaging or another predetermined number, or conferencing the caller with the current call. In order for the subscriber to perform the five options of this service, the customer must subscribe to additional features. The subscriber may choose to utilize only those options which are provided with this service at no additional charge, or may choose one or more of the options which are available at an additional monthly charge. The additional options which require a monthly subscription include forwarding the call to voice messaging or another predetermined number (Call Forwarding Fixed or Call Forwarding) or conferencing the caller with the current call (Three-Way Calling).

Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) display device attached to the subscribing customer's telephone line.

In addition to the ability to view the telephone number of incoming calls,

Caller ID - Number Only provides subscribers with the ability to reject calls from customers who have blocked the display of their telephone number on outgoing calls. This feature called Anonymous Call Rejection (ACR), can be activated or deactivated by dialing specific codes. This feature is initially provided to the subscriber in the deactivated mode. ACR will remain either on or off until subscribers make changes by dialing specific codes. The Caller ID - Number Only subscriber will hear a confirmation tone/announcement when the feature is activated or deactivated. When a caller who has blocked the display of his/her telephone number, calls a Caller ID - Number Only subscriber who has activated ACR, the caller will receive an announcement that states the customer is not accepting calls from callers who are blocking their number or number and name. The Caller ID - Number Only subscriber’s telephone will not ring. There is no additional charge for ACR.

Business $8.60 * Residence 8.60 * 4. Anonymous Call Rejection (ACR) Anonymous Call Rejection (ACR) is an optional feature that allows the

called party to reject calls from parties that have used blocking to prevent the display of their telephone numbers or numbers and names to Caller ID subscribers. ACR is controlled by the customer via an activation and a deactivation code. When ACR is activated, all calls that are blocked are routed to a standard tone/announcement.

13.6.2. Regulations This service is offered only where facilities and appropriate technology exists. BRI rates and charges are as shown in C. following. Data calls will be billed on a usage sensitive basis, as shown in C. following. Toll charges shall apply when data or voice calls are made outside of the customer’s designated local calling area.

(*) (*)

ISDN-compatible customer premises terminal equipment is required for proper operation. It is the customer’s responsibility to provide necessary power and obtain such equipment.

The temporary suspension of service provisions in A2.2.8 and the discount provisions in A2.3.4 do not apply.

This service is available only from offices which have the necessary facilities to provide ISDN on the standard network platform. In the event that a customer is serviced by a non-conforming office, the Company may provide ISDN service from an alternative serving central office at no additional charge to the customer, where adequate facilities exist. Such provisioning may be elected where, at the discretion of the Company, service can be provided at a reasonable cost to the Company. By accepting the service, the customers accept the serving central office location assigned by the Company and agree to move their service to the local serving central office at such time as service is made available in that office or else they will be charged the additional FX charges applicable.

Applicable to customers utilizing regenerated or extension service: The Company will require a term agreement from the customer for a minimum period of twelve (12) months. If a customer terminates the service prior to that minimum period, the customer will still owe the balance of the amount that is due for the full twelve (12) months.

13.6.2. Regulations (Cont'd)

This tariff does not apply to the transmission of packet data on either the D channel or one of the B channels.

Individual Line BRI service does not preclude Business or Residence Individual Exchange Access Line customers from originating or receiving voice calls from either inside or outside the serving central office of their calling area. Where facilities are available, the customers will be able to originate and receive data calls outside of their serving central office.

(*)

(*)

For the safety and well-being of our customers, all ISDN customers are required to maintain a non-ISDN access line on the premises for emergency calls in the event of a loss of electrical power. Since ISDN customer-premise equipment is dependent upon commercial power and not the Telephone Company, it is essential to maintain a non-ISDN line for emergency access through the Company’s public switched network.

Individual Line BRI service is available for single line residence and business service. Customers subscribing to Rotary Access and/or Advanced Business Connection services are not eligible for BRI service.

A13. OBSOLETE EXCHANGE SERVICES 13.8 RESIDENTIAL ROTARY ACCESS SERVICE 13.8.1 GENERAL (*) Residential Rotary Access Service is furnished for a customer having or ordering to be

installed multiple lines and desiring to have those lines arranged so that all incoming calls to the group of lines will be directed automatically to an idle line (one of the multiple lines serving the customer). Having the group of lines in a rotary access (hunting) arrangement increases the likelihood of an incoming call being completed. Additionally, the automatic selection feature provides a far greater call carrying capacity over a smaller number of lines, fewer repeat calls because of line busy condition, and the convenience of a single listed number. Residential Rotary Access Service is an optional feature provided at the customer's request.

Depending on the type of central office equipment which serves the customer, sequential

telephone numbers may or may not be required to make this feature operable.

13.8.2 REGULATIONS (*) 1. A minimum of two (2) access lines are required for Rotary Access Service. 2. All lines in the group of lines designated for rotary access service must appear at

the same location.

3. This service is used in conjunction with Direct Inward Dialing (DID) Service. 4. General Regulations, Section A2, are applicable to Rotary Access Service. 5. Rotary Access Service may be furnished with residence service in accordance with

regulations in this tariff.

6. All lines in the group of lines are considered to be rotary access, therefore, all lines

will be charged the Rotary Access Service rates.

7. The utilization of Call Forward Busy Line (CFBL) to simulate Rotary Access Service

will be considered Rotary Access Service and will be billed at the Rotary Access Service rate.

same central office and may be extended to a foreign exchange as provided in Section A5 of this tariff.

F. Customer-provided terminal equipment may be required with certain features and

may be used with ABC service subject to the provisions listed in Section A8 of this tariff.

G. The quality of transmission for calls utilizing conferencing or call forwarding may

vary depending on the distance and routing involved.

H. All lines will have access to all system features chosen by the customer. I. Attendant features are offered in conjunction with a customer's attendant console.

Each attendant console requires three (3) addition ABC lines.

J. Certain features are incompatible with each other. K. A combination of business and residence line in an ABC system is not allowed. L. A Service Agreement specifying certain terms and conditions of ABC Service will

be utilized to administer access line demand and commitment terms.

1. ABC Service is provided for a minimum period of one (1) month for customers

with fifty (50) or less total lines. A minimum period of one (1) year applies to customers requesting fifty-one (51) to 100 lines. Those customers who add additional lines and, as a result, exceed fifty (50) total lines, will automatically become subject to a one (1) year minimum period, retroactive to the customer's original date of installation. Any customer who reduces their line size below the minimum number for their customer group size will automatically become subject to the new ABC Basic Feature Additive rate and a new Service Agreement must be provided. Service Agreements as to line size and length of commitment must be received prior to any installation or removal other than month-to-month. See paragraph L.2

2. A Service Agreement, presented by the Telephone Company, must be

executed by the customer and the Telephone Company prior to the provisioning of Advanced Business Connection at any rate other than the month-to-month rate as shown 13.9.4.B.6. The Service Agreement must contain a description of the feature(s) being selected, the length of the commitment period, number of access lines, and the termination charge provisions. No Service Agreement is required for month-to-month service.




A13. OBSOLETE EXCHANGE SERVICES 13.9 ADVANCED BUSINESS CONNECTION (Cont'd) 13.9.2 GENERAL REGULATIONS (Cont'd) L. A Service Agreement specifying … (Cont'd) 3. An increase threshold of ten percent (10%) is established for any price

increases (total of access line rate and ABC Basic Feature Additive) after the initial 24 months of any Service Agreement exceeding 24 months. If an increase in the total of the individual access line rate and ABC Basic Feature Additive rates exceeds this threshold, the customer has the option to select a longer commitment period (as described in L.5) or to terminate the Service Agreement without penalty. The customer may exercise the option by written notification during a period of ninety (90) days following the effective date of the increase.

4. All lengths of commitment periods in Letters of Election must be in increments

of twelve (12) months only.

5. Changes in Length of Commitment Period a. Changing to a period of longer length is permitted at any time prior to

the expiration of the present commitment period. A new Service Agreement must be provided at the current tariffed rates. No credit is allowed for previous in-service periods prior to the new Service Agreement.

b. Changing to a period of shorter length is permitted at any time prior to

the expiration of the present commitment period. A revised Service Agreement is required prior to any billing changes. In addition, a Service Agreement Revision Charge is applied to recover the difference between the rate that would have been paid if a shorter period had been selected originally and the current Service Agreement rates. The Service Agreement Revision Charge is equal to the difference between the old ABC Basic Feature Additive rate and the new ABC Basic Feature Additive times the number of lines times the number of months expired in the contract. The Service Agreement Revision Charge is to be assessed to the customer's billing and is due and payable within 10 days of the billing.

d. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the current Service

Agreement the customer may either provide a new Service Agreement effective with the expiration of the current Service Agreement or choose to continue at the currently billed rate and quantity of access lines on a month-to-month basis. With the later, any changes in quantities of access lines will require a newly executed and accepted Service Agreement.

e. Termination Charge Provisions apply should all or part of the service

be disconnected prior to the expiration of the commitment period (either at the customer's request or as a result of termination for cause by the Company) as shown following:

With a complete disconnect in which all ABC lines are

disconnected/converted to other services, the Termination Charges would be equal to 85% of the lines in the Service Agreement times the total of the line and ABC Basic Feature Additive rate times the months remaining in the Service Agreement. With a partial disconnect in which the number of ABC lines is reduced below a threshold of 85% of the lines designated in the Service Agreement the Termination Charge would be equal to the number of lines disconnected times the line rate times the months remaining in the Service Agreement. No refunds are given should a partial disconnect reconnect any access lines.

f. Should the number of access lines subscribed to by the customer

exceed the number in the Service Agreement and entitle the customer to a different monthly rate, the customer may revise their Service Agreement.




A13. OBSOLETE EXCHANGE SERVICES 13.9 ADVANCED BUSINESS CONNECTION (Cont'd) 13.9.2 GENERAL REGULATIONS (Cont'd) M. The obligations for the service as governed by this tariff and the Service Agreement

I. This service is available only from central offices, which have the necessary

facilities to provide ISDN-BRI on the standard network platform. In the event a customer is provided service from a non-ISDN compatible central office, the Company will provide ISDN-BRI Service from an alternative serving central office. This provision is accomplished by utilizing a 'hubbing' architecture and the subscriber may be required to accept a foreign NXX.

When a foreign NXX is required, mileage charges for Foreign Exchange Service,

specified in Section 5.1.4 of this tariff, will apply in addition to the rates and charges included in this section. Due to the nature of the 'hubbing' architecture and the use of a unique NXX, the local calling area may change.

Emergency 911 calls placed over ISDN-BRI lines provisioned via this

arrangement will be identified as the foreign service central office NXX and not the non-ISDN compatible central office NXX. The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damages arising from emergency calls placed from ISDN-BRI lines provisioned via a foreign serving central office.

A16. INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORK (ISDN) 16.2 PRIMARY RATE INTERFACE (PRI) 16.2.1 GENERAL A. Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) - Primary Rate Interface (PRI) Service

is a local exchange offering supported by the ISDN architecture.

B. ISDN-PRI Service provides a method of access to the telephone network called

Primary Rate Access. Primary Rate Access is an ISDN based, DS1 access link to the telecommunications network and provides integration of multiple voice and data transmission channels on the same line. The service provides connectivity between an ISDN-PBX or other ISDN-compatible CPE and a serving central office. The basic channel structure for Primary Rate Access is twenty-three 64 Kbps B-Channels and one 64 Kbps D-Channel. After purchasing the original 23 B-Channel plus one D-Channel configuration, the customer may purchase another Primary Rate Access Line and another Primary Rate Interface as well as additional B-Channels in increments of 12.

These channels may be used to connect the customer's CPE to the Public Circuit

Switched Network (i.e., outward, inward, and two-way trunks, and WATS/800/888 Service access lines).

C. ISDN-PRI Service provides circuit switched communication paths providing the

end user with access to a variety of circuit switched services and features including data, voice and video which conforms to internationally developed, published, and recognized standards generated by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

D. Unless specified, the regulations for ISDN-PRI Service apply in addition to the

General Regulations set forth in Section 2 of this tariff.

E. ISDN-PRI Service is provided within a LATA from central offices where

appropriate ISDN facilities are available as determined by the Company. Service inquiries will be necessary to determine availability. Construction Charges and Other Special Charges may apply as specified in Section 4 of this tariff.

16.2.2 REGULATIONS A. Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) that is compatible with ISDN-PRI Service

is the responsibility of the customer for provisioning.

B. The Company shall not be responsible if changes in any of the equipment,

operations or procedures of the Company utilized in the provisioning of ISDN-PRI Service render any facilities provided by the customer obsolete or require modification or alteration of such equipment or system or otherwise affect its use or performance.

C. Digital transmission rates at speeds less than those indicated may be

accomplished as a function of the particular CPE furnished by the user.

D. The provisions for temporary suspension of service at the customer's request, as

defined in Section 2 of this tariff, do not apply to ISDN-PRI Service.

E. Service Charges specified in Section 3 of this tariff apply unless specific Service

Connection Charges are otherwise stated in Section 16.2.7.G.4. (*) (*)

UNITED TELEPHONE COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY, INC. d/b/a CenturyLink ORIGINAL PAGE 10 TARIFF N.J. B.P.U. - NO. 3 BY: WARREN HANNAH, DIR. LOCAL TARIFFS ISSUED: JUNE 7, 1999 EFFECTIVE: APRIL 10, 2000

A16. INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORK (ISDN) 16.2 PRIMARY RATE INTERFACE (PRI) 16.2.2 REGULATIONS (Cont’d) F. The minimum service period for ISDN-PRI Service is six months. G. Verification and Emergency Interrupt Service is not available for ISDN-PRI Service. H. Telephone numbers transmitted via the Optional or Standard Incoming Call

Identification feature are intended solely for the use of the ISDN-PRI Service subscriber. Resale of this call identification information is prohibited by this tariff.

I. Wide Area Telecommunication Services utilizing ISDN-PRI Service are available in

Section 7 of this tariff.

J. Non-Facility Associated Signaling (NFAS) provides the capability to serve multiple

DS1's over a single D-Channel (NB+D). This feature can be ordered where switch capabilities exist as determined by the Company. When NFAS is selected, the customer will order one ISDN-PRI Service arrangement with 23 B-Channels and 1 D-Channel. Additional ISDN-PRI Services arrangements are ordered with 24 B-Channels as specified in Section 16.2.6. The D-Channel activated on the initial arrangement serves the additional ISDN-PRI arrangements.

After the first 23B + D PRI is purchased, a customer can purchase additional B-

Channels in increments of 12. Additional Primary Rate Access Lines may be ordered in a 24B configuration. However, the Company recommends that the quantity of Primary Rate Access Lines supported by one (1) D-Channel not exceed four (4) Primary Rate Access Lines. The Company recommends the use of a backup D-Channel for the support of signaling beyond four (4) facilities.

K. This service is available only from central offices, which have the necessary facilities

to provide ISDN-PRI on the standard network platform. In the event a customer is provided service from a non-ISDN compatible central office, the Company will provide ISDN-PRI Service from an alternative serving central office. This provision is accomplished by utilizing a ‘hubbing’ architecture and the subscriber may be required to accept a unique NXX.

When a unique NXX is required, mileage charges applicable to Interexchange United

TransLinksm, as defined in Section 10 of this tariff, apply in addition to the rates and charges included in this section. Due to the nature of the ‘hubbing’ architecture and the use of a unique NXX, the local calling area (e.g., Exchanges in Local Service Area) may change.

Emergency 911 calls placed over ISDN-PRI Primary Rate Access Lines provisioned

via this arrangement will be identified as the alternative serving central office NXX and not the non-ISDN compatible central office NXX. The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damages arising from the emergency calls placed from ISDN-PRI Primary Rate Access Lines provisioned via an alternative serving central office.

M. In order to maintain the quality of ISDN-PRI Service, the Company reserves the

right to perform preventative maintenance and software updates to the network. The Company has classified this maintenance as indicated below:

Scheduled Maintenance Scheduled maintenance is used to perform such functions as hardware and

software upgrades and network optimization. The Company will perform these tasks in a maintenance window that is anticipated to minimize disruption of customer service and activity. The Company will provide advance notice of all scheduled maintenance.

Demand Maintenance Demand Maintenance may occur as a result of unexpected events and is used

when ISDN-PRI network elements are in jeopardy. The Company will perform this type of maintenance at its discretion. Due to the nature of demand maintenance prior notification may not be possible, however, the customer will be informed when the maintenance has been completed.

N. One Directory Listing will be provided per D-Channel. Additional Directory

Listings are available as specified in Section A5 of this tariff. * *

UNITED TELEPHONE COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY, INC. d/b/a CenturyLink ORIGINAL PAGE 12 TARIFF N.J. B.P.U. - NO. 3 BY: WARREN HANNAH, DIR. LOCAL TARIFFS ISSUED: JUNE 7, 1999 EFFECTIVE: APRIL 10, 2000

A16. INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORK (ISDN) 16.2 PRIMARY RATE INTERFACE (PRI) 16.2.4 FEATURES (Cont’d) A. Standard Features (Cont’d) Incoming Call Identification (Caller ID) Provides the customer with the telephone number of the calling party. Incoming call

identification is provided via the D-Channel associated with the incoming calls on a B-Channel to a PBX. Caller ID-Per Call Blocking and Caller ID-Per Line Blocking are available as stipulated in Section 5 of this tariff.

Clear Channel Capability The B-Channels on ISDN-PRI are clear, since all signaling and control functions are

handled by the D-Channel. This allows all 64 Kbps on each B-Channel to be used for customer information.

D-Channel Control of Multiple ISDN Lines Provides capability for a single D-Channel to provide signaling and control for one or

more ISDN-PRI connections. After the original 23 B-Channel plus one D-Channel, the 24th channel on subsequent ISDN-PRI lines is then made available for customer use. The Company recommends the purchase of a backup D-Channel after the fourth ISDN-PRI line is purchased.

Digital Voice Transmission All voice calls are transmitted using digital signaling. Direct Inward Dialing Signaling Permits incoming dialed calls from the exchange network to reach a specific number

served by customer premises equipment (CPE) without the assistance of an attendant. It also provides for the unique identification of the call based on digits sent to the CPE by the central office. The central office will outpulse digits to the CPE that can further process the calls as desired.

PBX Station ID Capability Allows the station users number (calling party) to be transmitted over the ISDN-PRI D-

Channel from Direct Inward Dialing equipped CPE PBXs that use ISDN-PRI. This number is provided by the originating station and must have an associated Direct Inward Dialing telephone number working in the central office.

B. Optional Features D-Channel Backup Provides backup for the D-Channel for a customer with multiple PRI lines by

automatically switching signaling capability over to another D-Channel if service to the primary D-Channel is interrupted.

Certain equipment restrictions may apply.

Call-by-Call/Integrated Service Access Feature Capability Allows the customer to dynamically allocate the use of channels for ISDN-PRI Service.

The customer may also choose voice or data transmission on a per call basis. In addition, the customer may also choose to subscribe to more services than channels. The Customer Premises Equipment signals the local central office as to which type of service (inward/outward trunk, WATS Lines, 800/888 Service) to access for each call.

(**) (*)

Incoming Call Identification (Caller ID Name and Number) Provides the customer with the telephone number and name of the calling party.

Incoming call identification is provided via the D-Channel associated with incoming calls on a B-Channel to a PBX. Caller ID-Per Call Blocking and Caller ID-Per Line Blocking are available as stipulated in Section 5 of this tariff.

(*) (**)

2 B-Channel Transfer ** * If a call terminates at a given location, but is then forwarded to another location,

two trunks between the Central Office and the original device are typically employed for the duration of the forwarded call. 2 B-Channel Transfer allows the central office switch to establish the call directly to the final destination and release the trunks going in and out of the forwarding device. This saves the customer PRI facilities and provides for more efficient use of the network. A common use of 2 B-Channel Transfer is illustrated below.

16.3 INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORK-PRIMARY RATE INTERFACE (ISDN-PRI) BUSINESS SERVICE

16.3.1 GENERAL

A. Integrated Services Digital Network - Primary Rate Interface (ISDN-PRI) Business

Service (“ISDN-PRI Business Service”) is a local exchange offering supported by the ISDN architecture.

B. ISDN-PRI Business Service provides a method of access to the telecommunications

network called Primary Rate Access. Primary Rate Access is an ISDN based, DS1 access link to the telecommunications network and provides integration of multiple voice and data transmission channels on the same line. The service provides connectivity between an ISDN-PBX or other ISDN-compatible customer premises equipment (“CPE”) and a serving central office. The basic structure for Primary Rate Access is comprised of twenty-three 64 Kbps B-Channels and one 64 Kbps D-Channel, referred to hereafter as “23-B+D”. After subscribing to the original 23-B+D configuration, the customer may subscribe to additional ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangements in as 23-B+D or as 24-B Channels. These channels may be used to connect the customer's CPE to the Public Network (i.e., inward/outward trunks, two-way trunks, WATS lines or toll free service).

C. ISDN-PRI Business Service provides network communication paths that provide the

end user with access to a variety of network services and features including data, voice and video which conforms to internationally developed, published, and recognized standards generated by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

D. ISDN-PRI Business Service and its optional features and functions are provided

within a local access and transport area (“LATA”) from central offices where appropriate ISDN facilities are available as determined by the Company. Service inquiries will be necessary to determine availability. Construction Charges and other Special Charges Applicable Under Special Conditions may apply as specified in Section A4 of this Tariff.

16.3 INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORK-PRIMARY RATE INTERFACE (ISDN-PRI) BUSINESS SERVICE (Cont'd)

16.3.2 REGULATIONS

A. The minimum service period for ISDN-PRI Business Service is six months. Term Discount Plan commitment periods of one, two, three and five years are available.

B. No additional charges apply for calls to Local Calling Area exchanges. C. The customer is responsible for providing CPE that is compatible with ISDN-PRI

Business Service. D. The Company will not be responsible if changes in any of the equipment, operations

or procedures of the Company utilized in the provisioning of ISDN-PRI Business Service render any facilities provided by the customer obsolete, require modification or alteration of such equipment or system, or otherwise affect its use or performance.

E. Digital transmission rates at speeds less than those indicated may be accomplished

as a function of the particular CPE furnished by the user. F. Telephone numbers transmitted via the Optional or Standard Incoming Call

Identification feature are intended solely for the use of the ISDN-PRI Business Service subscriber. Resale of this call identification information is prohibited.

G. Non-Facility Associated Signaling (NFAS) provides the capability to serve multiple

DS1's via a single D-Channel. This feature can be ordered where switch capabilities exist as determined by the Company. When NFAS is selected, the customer must order one ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangement as a 23-B+D arrangement. After the customer subscribes to the initial 23-B+D arrangement, the customer may subscribe to additional arrangements of either 23-B+D or 24 B-Channels. The D-Channel activated on the initial arrangement serves any additional ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangements with no D-Channel. The Company recommends that the number of B-channels supported by a single D-Channel not exceed 95.


NJ 12-06




16.3.2 REGULATIONS (Cont'd)

H. This service is available only from central offices which have the necessary facilities to

provide ISDN-PRI on the standard network platform. In the event a customer is served by a non-ISDN capable central office, the Company may provide ISDN-PRI Business Service from an alternative serving central office, as designated by the Company. The subscriber may be required to accept a foreign NXX. When a foreign NXX is required, the rates for the interoffice facilities of an interexchange ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangement, as specified in II.G.1. of this Section, will apply in addition to the rates normally applicable for an ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangement. The local calling area may not be the same as the local calling area of the exchange in which the customer is located.

If ISDN functionality becomes available from the central office that normally serves this subscriber, ISDN-PRI Business Service will be provided from that office and the subscriber may be required to accept a different NXX. If the subscriber chooses to continue ISDN-PRI Business Service from the alternative serving central office, the rates for the interoffice facilities of an interexchange ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangement will continue to apply in addition to the rates normally applicable for an ISDN-PRI Business Service Arrangement.

If a subscriber requests ISDN-PRI Business Service from an alternative serving central office other than that designated by the Company, the rates for the interoffice facilities of an interexchange ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangement will apply in addition to the rates normally applicable for an ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangement. Emergency 911 calls placed over an ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangement that is provisioned via a foreign central office will be identified as originating in the alternative serving central office NXX and not the non-ISDN capable central office NXX. The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damages arising from emergency calls placed from ISDN-PRI Business Service provisioned via an alternative serving central office.

I. ISDN-PRI Business Service is available only where the customer’s service location is within the provisioning limitations as determined prior to installation of the service. Should the customer’s service location exceed said limitations, service will be provided where the Company has electrically compatible facilities available, or where existing facilities can be made electrically compatible.


NJ 12-06




16.3.2 REGULATIONS (Cont'd)

J. One Directory Listing will be provided per D-Channel. Additional Directory Listings are

available as specified in Section A5 of the General Exchange Tariff. K. Temporary Suspension of service at the customer‘s request, as defined in Section A2

of this Tariff, is not available for ISDN-PRI Business Service.

L. In order to maintain the quality of ISDN-PRI Business Service, the Company reserves the right to perform preventative maintenance and software updates to the network. The Company has classified this maintenance as indicated below:

1. Scheduled Maintenance - used to perform such functions as hardware and

software upgrades and network optimization. The Company will perform these tasks in a maintenance window that is anticipated to minimize disruption of customer service and activity. The Company will provide advance notice of all scheduled maintenance.

2. Demand Maintenance - may occur as a result of unexpected events and is used

when ISDN-PRI network elements are in jeopardy. The Company will perform this type of maintenance at its discretion. Due to the nature of demand maintenance prior notification may not be possible.

M. Rotary hunt functionality is available with ISDN-PRI Business Service at no additional

charge. This functionality increases the likelihood of an incoming call being completed over an ISDN-PRI B-channel by allowing calls made to a busy number to be completed to another idle line. This functionality is exclusively within the B-channels of a single ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangement or between multiple ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangements and is not allowed between ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangements and other services, including but not limited to, Business Individual Line Service. The total number of Primary Rate Interfaces in a single, standard hunting configuration may not exceed 50.

N. Relocation of an ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangement to a new location with the

same building or to a different location within the same central office serving area is considered a “move” and a Move Charge will apply for each ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangement that is relocated. Customer requested moves to a location in a different central office serving area are treated as disconnections at the existing location, and service establishment charges will apply for each ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangement established at the new location.


NJ 12-06




16.3.3 DEFINITIONS

A. B-Channel - A bi-directional synchronous channel capable of supporting 64 Kbps of digital transmission.

B. D-Channel - A digital, signaling-only channel for call establishment that is capable of

supporting 64 Kbps of digital transmission. C. Primary Rate Access Line – The facility between the serving central office and the

customer’s premises. Provides transport for up to twenty-four 64 Kbps.

D. Primary Rate Interface – The central office switching elements that are dedicated to a customer’s ISDN-PRI Business Service.

E. Primary Rate Channels – B-Channels or D-Channels, as defined above. F. Rotary Hunt Functionality - A service arrangement which allows calls made to a busy

number to be completed to another idle line in that rotary number group.


NJ 12-06




16.3.4 FEATURES

A. Standard Features

Clear Channel Capability – Allows all 64 Kbps on each B-Channel to be used for Customer information because the B-Channels on ISDN-PRI Business Service are clear as a result of all signaling and control functions being handled by a D-Channel. D-Channel Control – Permits a single D-Channel to provide signaling and control for one or more ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangements when, after subscribing to an initial 23-B+D configuration, a customer requests additional arrangements consisting of 24 B-Channels. Digital Voice Transmission - All voice calls are transmitted using digital signaling. Direct Inward Dialing (DID) Signaling - Permits incoming dialed calls from the exchange network to reach a specific number served by CPE without the assistance of an attendant. The central office will outpulse digits to the CPE that can further process the calls as desired. The rates and charges for DID telephone numbers are in addition to the ISDN charges and are provided in Section A5 of this tariff.

Dynamic Allocation of Bandwidth - Allows the voice and data services to share B-Channels and arrange them as a single trunk group. This allows incoming and outgoing voice and data calls to utilize B-Channels on a call by call basis. Without this capability, each service will have a dedicated B-Channel. Incoming Call Identification (Caller ID Number Only) – Provides a customer with the telephone number of the calling party. Incoming call identification is provided via the D-Channel associated with an incoming call on a B-Channel to a PBX and is subject to availability and provision by the originating call’s carrier’s facilities. Customer’s CPE must be compatible with this feature. PBX Station ID Capability - Allows the station user's (calling party’s) number to be transmitted over the ISDN-PRI D-Channel from Direct Inward Dialing equipped CPE PBXs that use ISDN-PRI. This number is provided by the originating station and must have an associated Direct Inward Dialing telephone number working in the central office.


NJ 12-06




16.3.4 FEATURES (Cont’d) B. Optional Features

2 B-Channel Transfer – Provides specific central office switching capabilities. For example, when a call terminates at a given location, but is then forwarded to another location, two trunks between the Central Office and the original device are typically employed for the duration of the forwarded call. 2 B-Channel Transfer allows the central office switch to establish the call directly to the final destination and release the trunks going in and out of the forwarding device. A common use of 2 B-Channel Transfer is illustrated below.

Call-by-Call/Integrated Service Access Feature Capability - Allows the customer to

dynamically allocate the use of channels for ISDN-PRI Business Service. The customer may also choose voice or data transmission on a per call basis. In addition, the customer may also choose to subscribe to more services than channels. The CPE signals the local central office as to which type of service (e.g., via inward/outward trunk, WATS lines, or toll free service lines) to access for each call. This feature is only available with two-way Primary Rate Interface.

16.3.4 FEATURES (Cont'd)

B. Optional Features (Cont’d)

Circular Hunt - Provides the most efficient hunting sequence available, and allows for much larger trunk groups than the standard ISDN-PRI Business Service packages. With circular hunt, an incoming call is completed to the next available trunk (bearer) in sequence starting from the last trunk selected. This can occur across multiple PRI facilities. The feature can support up to 220 Primary Rate Interfaces in a single hunting configuration. The standard limit is 50. D-Channel Backup – Provides backup for the D-Channel for a customer with multiple ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangements by automatically switching signaling capability over to a back-up D-Channel if service to the primary D-Channel is interrupted. E911 Call Screening - Provides for the transmission of PBX or Key System station information via the ISDN-PRI facility to local emergency services authorities. This provides for the possible identification of the specific location on a customer's premises where a 911 call originated. This option is available only in communities where local emergency authorities support the service in conjunction with the Company’s Private Switch Database Service, associated with E911 Service. This service is only available in conjunction with National ISDN-2 Protocol. Incoming Call Identification (Caller ID Name and Number) - Provides the customer with the telephone number and name of the calling party, subject to availability and provision by the originating caller’s carrier. Incoming call identification is provided via the D-Channel associated with an incoming call on a B-Channel to a PBX. The Customer's equipment must be compatible with this feature. Main Number ID Capability – Available in lieu of the standard PBX Station ID Capability feature, this feature allows only the main number associated with an ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangement to be transmitted and available for display when a call is placed from any station associated with an ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangement. National ISDN-2 Protocol - A communication protocol that governs interactions between the customer's equipment and the telephone network. This protocol is more advanced than the standard ISDN-PRI protocol. Most CPE is capable of using the ISDN-2 Protocol. Network Ring Again - Enables the customer to complete calls to a busy station without continually redialing. Certain equipment restrictions may apply.

16.3.5 SERVICE COMPONENTS

A. Each ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangement consists of the following functional components:

- Primary Rate Access Line - Primary Rate Interface - Primary Rate Channels

1. Primary Rate Access Line - Provides a four-wire access loop from the customer premises to the serving central office. The transmission via this loop supports Clear Channel Capability. One Primary Rate Access Line is provided for every 24 channels.

2. Primary Rate Interface - Provides the multiplexing to support up to twenty-three

B-Channels at 64 Kbps and one D-Channel for signaling also at 64 Kbps. When NFAS is ordered, the Primary Rate Interface can provide up to twenty-four B-Channels at 64 Kbps. Primary Rate Interfaces will be provisioned as two-way.

3. Primary Rate Channels - The initial ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangement

consists of a 23-B+D configuration, with unlimited usage that will allow either voice or data transmission up to 64 Kbps. Additional arrangements may be ordered as either 23-B+D or 24-B Channel arrangements.

(a) Voice calls may be completed to both ISDN and non-ISDN lines. (b) Data Transmission on the B-Channels will be at 64 Kbps within the switch

and between ISDN-PRI compatible central offices. ISDN-PRI interconnection to non-ISDN-PRI equipped central offices may be potentially subjected to analog transmission or sub-rated to 56 Kbps.

(c) The customer may choose to subscribe to additional non exchange based

services. Initial choices for these services will be WATS and 800/888 service. The subscription to these services is in addition to the charges for ISDN-PRI Business Service.

B. Each Primary Rate Access Line may be active with a corresponding number of

services (e.g., inward/outward trunks, WATS lines, or toll free service) selected. The customer may also choose to subscribe to more services than channels. The CPE signals the local central office as to which type of service (inward/outward trunk, WATS lines, or toll free service) to access for each call.


NJ 12-06




16.3.6 APPLICATION OF RATES

A. Nonrecurring charges will not be applicable for ISDN-PRI Business Service arrangements that are updated from an existing Primary Rate Access Line 1.544 Mbps service to ISDN-PRI Business Service.

5. TDP commitment periods can be extended by the customer at any time during the term of

the plan, up to a maximum of 3 years. The number of months accrued in the current plan will apply toward the new plan selected. However, the charges under the new TDP commitment period will apply only on a go-forward basis.

charges if the customer subscribes to a new Centrex Service II TDP at the new location. However, the number of months accrued in the current plan will not apply toward the plan selected for the new location.

** * * **

A. Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Service is a connection-oriented fast packet local,

intraLATA, and intrastate interLATA network service that permits the transmission of high speed data, voice, and video traffic utilizing cell switching technology. ATM is offered for local, intraLATA and intrastate interLATA use where Company facilities exist. ATM cells are fixed length cells that provide symmetrical or asymmetrical duplex transmissions. Utilizing statistical multiplexing, ATM Service enables customers to allocate circuit bandwidth to applications as needed on virtual paths or channels. ATM Service allows multiple communications applications to be transmitted within multiple paths or channels utilizing common fiber optic or copper facilities. ATM Service is primarily designed for businesses with multiple locations requiring the transport of data, voice, or video traffic among the sites. ATM Service allows for the interconnection of Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) that is ATM compatible.

B. Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) are logical channels between the customer’s premises

and ports on an ATM switch or between ATM switches. PVCs are duplex channels that are established via the service order process. Separate PVCs must be established to each customer location at which the customer desires ATM Service. PVC channels are virtual channels that are established in software tables. Multiple PVCs can be defined over a single ATM User Network Interface (UNI), thereby providing a single access line with the capability to transmit data, voice, and video to multiple destinations simultaneously. A PVC can be set up as either a Virtual Path (VP) or a Virtual Channel (VC) type connection. A VP may contain multiple VCs, referred to as tunneling. Tunneling allows customers to establish VCs or end to end connections between the customer CPE, via VPs.

UNITED TELEPHONE COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY, INC. d/b/a CenturyLink ORIGINAL PAGE 2.1 TARIFF N.J. B.P.U. - NO. 3 BY: DARLENE TERRY, MANAGER - TARIFFS ISSUED: JULY 10, 2015 EFFECTIVE: JULY13, 2015

A18. ATM SERVICE 18.1 DESCRIPTION (Cont'd)

C. ATM Service requires the use of CPE that functions as a multiplexer, aggregrator, concentrator, or router. This CPE must be purchased separately from the ATM Service and must conform to the Consultative Committee for International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Standards, ATM Forum Standards, and Company ATM CPE standards. Only equipment that meets Company standards may be connected to the ATM network. The CPE functions to accumulate customer data and transfers it into an ATM format suitable for transmission over the ATM Network.

(**) (*)

(*) (**)

(*) Indicates Change Material now appearing on this page previously appeared in Section A18 on Original Page 2.



A18. ATM SERVICE 18.1 DESCRIPTION (Cont’d)

D. In the operation of ATM, the CPE captures arriving data into fixed-length ATM 53-byte cells. These cells contain a 48-byte cell user information segment, and a five-byte header containing a Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and a Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI), identifying which PVC in the network should be used to forward the cell to the proper destination. The CPE sends the cells into the ATM Network over a dedicated access facility called an ATM Access Line that includes a UNI, which is a port on the ATM switch. The ATM switch, usually located in the Company central office, reads identifying header information and routes the cell to the proper destination based on a pre-established PVC, over a VP and/or VC.

E. ATM Service is capable of handling the requirements of bursty data sources because of the

ability of the service to allocate additional bandwidth when not in use by other sources. ATM Service can also transmit delay sensitive traffic such as voice and video, on the same physical circuit, but with different Quality of Service (QoS) on separate PVCs, within the same physical circuit.

F. ATM Service is provided to the customer in the form of an ATM Access Line (a physical

line, either fiber or copper) from the Customer Designated Location (CDL), an ATM UNI port on the ATM switch, and the ATM network bandwidth via a PVC or multiple PVCs. The ATM UNI port access options available are: DS1, 2xDS1, 4xDS1, 6xDS1, DS3, and OC3. OC3 service is available at tariff rates only from serving central offices that have an ATM switch. OC3 service is available at Individual Case Basis (ICB) rates from serving central offices that do not have an ATM switch. Information Rate (IR) or equivalent bandwidth in the network required to support Quality of Service parameters for PVCs is available in bands ranging from 56 Kbps/64 Kbps up to 155 Mbps.

G. The actual equivalent bandwidth or IR for aggregated PVC bandwidths cannot exceed the

port speed, or the port line transfer rate. The customer must specify a category of service (or Quality of Service, “QoS”) for each PVC to be connected to the ATM network. The QoS category defines the performance parameters for each connection to meet specific networking requirements. The Company provides three categories of service:

1. Constant Bit Rate (CBR), for delay or timing sensitive traffic such as voice or

interactive video, provides a constant data rate and consistent delay parameters throughout the ATM network. CBR PVCs are given the highest priority in the ATM network, and are provisioned to provide the minimum Cell Delay Variation (CDV) or “jitter”. The Peak Cell Rate (PCR), which is the highest transmission rate the logical connection will allow, must be specified by the customer.



A18. ATM SERVICE 18.1 DESCRIPTION (Cont’d) G. (Continued) 2. Variable Bit Rate (VBR-nrt), a non-real time service designed for bursty data

applications that provides a pre-assigned variable bit rate. VBR-nrt requires two traffic parameters: (1) PCR, which defines the maximum rate of transmission, and (2) Sustained Cell Rate (SCR), which provides an average information rate expected on the connection. Customers must specify the SCR for VBR-nrt ATM Service. Oversubscription is allowed with VBR.

3. Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR), takes advantage of excess network bandwidth and is

best suited for communication applications where timing of delivered data is not critical. UBR is well suited to Internet protocol Local Area Network traffic, which has inherent reliability, and can tolerate occasional cell discarding. PCR and SCR values are not used with UBR. An advantage of UBR is that ATM cells can be transmitted up to the port line rate, if available, rather than being limited to a predefined maximum PCR, as with VBR and CBR. However, a minimum level of bandwidth is not guaranteed.

H. Since multiple PVCs may be defined on one physical port, it is possible for the cumulative

data IRs of multiple PVCs to exceed the physical bandwidth of the port. This is referred to as oversubscription, and when this occurs there will be no guarantee that the IR defined for the port and PVC will be available at any point in time.

I. IRs are traffic management parameters that allow the customer to fine tune implementation

of ATM Service. The IRs of PVCs can be customer specified and can be ordered in increments of bandwidth. IRs can be used on CBR and VBR-nrt PVCs only. IRs for UBR are by definition not used, and IRs can be up to the line rate or the UNI port transfer rate. UBR uses available network bandwidth and is a “best effort” service; therefore there are no guarantees with the delivery of UBR traffic. An IR is assigned to each PVC symmetrically (two-way).

J. For CBR PVCs, the customer may specify IRs in terms of PCR. The maximum PCR for a

CBR PVC is limited to 99% of the port transfer rate. When CBR traffic is mixed with VBR-nrt and UBR on the same port, the sum of all the PCRs associated with the CBR PVCs must not exceed 50% of the maximum IR of the ATM port. The PCR should never exceed the PCR available at the lowest port access between the local and remote locations. For VBR PVCs, the value of the SCR for ATM traffic may be defined between 20%-70% of the PCR. The user can burst above the PCR for short periods only. The limit for VBR-nrt transmission at the PCR is 250 cells. This limit is called the Maximum Burst Size (MBS). If the MBS is exceeded, a period of lower activity must follow to meet the SCR. UBR traffic IRs are not specified and use only available network bandwidth and may burst up to the line rate.




A18. ATM SERVICE 18.2 DEFINITIONS A. ATM Access Line (ATM-AL) - Provides access to the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)

Network. An ATM Access Line includes both the physical dedicated local loop and a UNI port on the ATM switch.

B. ATM Class of Service - Refers to service categories defined by the ATM Forum which define

the traffic parameters for each PVC. These categories, CBR, VBR, and UBR and their related parameters, partially define the traffic between the Company and the customer for each PVC.

C. ATM Network Link (ATM-NL) – ATM Network Links are used to physically connect the

Company ATM network with the ATM network of any adjacent Local Exchange Carrier. ATM Network Links are offered in the same port speeds as the ATM Access Lines.

D. ATM Port - A port on the ATM network that is used to interconnect other Company provided

private line services such as TransLink®, a digital cross connect system port to ATM or an ICB contract transport solution. The ATM Port is the physical entry point for PVCs. Ports include the electronic equipment used in connecting these service elements to the ATM Network and enable customers to allocate bandwidth to applications as needed.

E. ATM Service Network Serving Area – Area encompassing certain serving area points.

Serving area points are those Company central offices designated for the ATM Network.

F. Cell – A unit of transmission in ATM that is a fixed size frame consisting of a 5-byte header

and a 48-byte information payload.

G. Customer Designated Location (CDL) - The geographic location designated by the customer

where the customer’s CPE is first considered to enter the Company’s network.

H. Early Packet Discard (EPD)– The procedure for discarding cells related to a frame or packet

to minimize the impact of congestion in the ATM network. This discarding technique with Partial Packet Discard (PPD) minimizes the amount of packets that must be retransmitted during congestion. EPD is for UBR traffic only.

I. Frame Relay Service (FRS) – A fast packet network that provides the customer high-speed

access and through-put to different customer addresses. Utilizing statistical multiplexing, the frame relay network enables the customer to allocate bandwidth to applications as needed, rather than dedicating fixed channels to specific applications. Frame Relay is primarily used in applications requiring short, intensive bursts of data at high speeds. Frame Relay operates at access speeds of 56/64 Kbps, 128 Kbps, 256 Kbps, 384 Kbps, 512 Kbps, DS1 (1.544 Mbps), or DS3 (44.736 Mbps).




A18. ATM SERVICE 18.2 DEFINITIONS (Cont’d) J. Gateway Service – Allows the Company ATM customers to interconnect to another ATM or

Frame Relay Network. The service is available wherever the Company has established a network interface with another private or public ATM or Frame Relay network. Gateway Service is only available where such network connectivity exists or where suitable connectivity arrangements can be made that are acceptable to the Company.

K. Individual Case Basis (ICB) - Process by which non-standard products and services can be

provided to the customer.

L. Information Rate (IR) - Defines the amount of equivalent bandwidth in the network required

to support Quality of Service parameters. IR is administered per PVC, on a VP or VC basis. Any data burst beyond the IR may be labeled Discard Eligible (DE) if the data transfer rate exceeds the PCR of the PVC being used. If the ATM network develops congestion, the Early Packet Discard (EPD) and Partial Packet Discard (PPD) cell buffering techniques will be implemented in Company ATM switches. At service subscription, the customer must specify the PCR, SCR and MBS associated with each PVC. The retransmission of discarded cells is administered by the customer’s CPE.

The Information Rate consists of the three QoS levels (CBR, VBR-nrt or UBR) previously

described in Section 18.1 G. These levels of service provide the flexibility necessary to service all applications successfully. The customer is responsible for selecting the level of QoS.

M. Local Access and Transport Area (LATA) - Denotes a geographic area established for the

provision and administration of communications service. It encompasses one or more designated exchanges that are grouped to serve common social, economic, and other purposes.

N. Local Area Network (LAN) – A local network permitting the interconnection and

intercommunication of a group of computers, primarily for the sharing of resources such as data storage devices and printers.

O. Logical Channel – A communications channel that allows two-way, simultaneous

transmission of sequenced data packets through the network. No circuit capacity is preassigned to a logical channel. Capacity is made available as the data is transmitted. Each PVC is considered one logical channel or one virtual channel.



A18. ATM SERVICE 18.2 DEFINITIONS (Cont’d) P. Maximum Burst Size (MBS) - Denotes the maximum number of consecutive cells that may

be transmitted to the Company ATM network in a single burst at a rate that exceeds the SCR, but does not exceed the PCR, assigned to the VBR connection. MBS is a traffic parameter considered only for VBR traffic. Cells exceeding the MBS will be declared as non-conforming and will be buffered or discarded, depending on the level of congestion.

Q. Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) - Provides software-defined electronic path between two

ports within the ATM Network. Each UNI requires the purchase of at least one PVC. A UNI or UNI Port connection can be associated with multiple PVCs. Since all PVCs need not be in use at the same time, it is possible for the total IR of all PVCs associated with one port to exceed the bandwidth of the port. It is not possible, however, for the simultaneous aggregation of the PVCs equivalent bandwidth to exceed the bandwidth of the port. Such a relationship is referred to as oversubscription or overbooking. When oversubscription occurs, there is no guarantee that the bandwidth defined for a VBR-nrt or UBR PVC will be available at any point in time. CBR PVC bandwidth is always guaranteed in oversubscription situations.

R. Protocol - A specific set of rules, procedures or conventions relating to format and timing of

data transmission. It is a standard procedure that multiple data devices must accept and use in order to communicate with each other. Protocols break a file into parts called blocks or packets. When blocks or packets are sent, the receiving computer checks the arriving packets and sends an acknowledgment back to the sending computer.

S. Route Diversity - A separate and diverse physical route from the customer premises to the

Company Serving Central Office. This includes a separate fiber optic pair assignment in two different and distinct fiber optic cables.

T. Serving Central Office (SCO) - The Company central office from which the customer

normally receives dial tone. The customer's SCO may or may not have an ATM switch. Each SCO without an ATM switch will connect to an SCO with an ATM switch.

U. Statistical Multiplexing – A multiplexing technique in which timeslots are dynamically

allocated on the basis of need rather than being predetermined. The data is typically transmitted on a first come, first served basis.



A18. ATM SERVICE 18.2 DEFINITIONS (Cont’d) V. UNI Port– A port on the Company ATM switch that is used to connect to the access line.

The UNI port is the physical entry point for access to PVCs. The UNI port is on the customer side of the ATM switch. UNI ports include the Company ATM switching equipment used in connecting these service elements to the ATM Network and enable customers to allocate bandwidth to applications as needed.

W. User to Network Interface (UNI) – A standard interface used to connect the end user to the

Company ATM switch. It receives data cells from the customer’s LAN or other CPE devices and verifies that the data is in a valid ATM format before relaying the ATM cells to the destination point.

The following diagram illustrates some of the above mentioned terms:

permit the Company to design and maintain the ATM Service it offers and to assure that the service arrangement is in compliance with the regulations contained herein.



A18. ATM SERVICE 18.5 OBLIGATIONS OF THE CUSTOMER (Cont’d) D. Upon service subscription, the customer should specify the equivalent bandwidth and Class

of Service for each PVC ordered. A default of fifty (50) percent of the smallest port size will be assigned as the IR should the information not be provided. No individual PVC IR shall exceed (99) percent of the UNI port access rate. The sum of all PCRs on a single ATM port must not exceed five hundred (500) percent of the port line rate. The sum of all SCRs on a single ATM port must not exceed two hundred (200) percent of the port line rate.

18.6 TERM DISCOUNT PLAN (TDP) A. Term Discount Plan (TDP) provides the customer with discounted tariff rates for the ATM

Access Line (ATM-AL), ATM Port (Port Only) and the ATM-Network Link (ATM-NL). The customer agrees to a minimum service commitment period for these elements when the TDP is established. Customers may disconnect or move PVCs and not be subject to termination liability charges. The customer must order a TDP in writing to the Company. A TDP may be ordered in one month increments based on the following plan options;

Plan A: 12 - 23 months Plan B: 24 - 35 months Plan C: 36 - 59 months Plan D: 60 - 84 months B. The customer must specify the length of the initial service period at the time the service is

ordered. When a customer converts to a TDP, no administrative charges are applied toward facilities in service at that time. If a customer moves from a month-to-month plan to a TDP, or upgrades from one TDP to a longer term TDP, no administrative charges are applied.

C. If a customer under a Term Discount Plan (TDP) disconnects all or a portion of the ATM

Access Line, ATM Port and/or ATM-Network Link service prior to expiration of the TDP, then a Termination Liability Charge will apply to those services disconnected. The Termination Liability Charge will be a one-time charge equal to sum or 50% of the payments remaining for the rest of the TDP. If Special Construction charges were applied to the service being terminated, then any termination charges associated with the Special Construction charges will also apply.#

C. ATM Additional Access Line (ATM-AAL) – A non-recurring charge and a monthly rate based

on the connection line speed of the local loop access line. For DS3 service, up to two DS3 ATM AALs can be purchased at the rates and charges specified in Section 18.8 B. after the initial DS3 ATM Access Line has been purchased. The DS3 ATM AAL must be located on the same fiber optical terminal and the same fiber route. For OC3 service, up to three OC3 ATM AALs can purchased at the rates and charges specified in Section 18.8 B. after the initial OC3 ATM Access Line has been purchased provided that the Fiber Optic Terminal (FOT) at the CDL is an OC12 FOT. The OC3 ATM AAL must be located on the same fiber optical terminal and the same route. The ATM AAL is only offered where facilities are available.

D. ATM Network Link (ATM-NL) – A nonrecurring charge and monthly rate based on the DS1

or DS3 port at the Company’s ATM switch and transport from the ATM switch to the interconnecting ATM Service. Where the service is jointly provisioned with another telephone company, the appropriate charges will be based on the distance from the ATM to the meet-point boundary with the other telephone company. Charges for service from the meet-point boundary to the other company’s ATM switch will be the responsibility of the customer based on the rates and charges of each jointly provisioning telephone company. In addition to a DS1 or DS3 ATM Network Link, a minimum of one Gateway Service for bandwidth will apply.

E. ATM Port - A nonrecurring charge and monthly rate based on the speed of the port

connection applies per port connection to the network supporting ATM. The port rate element can be used in lieu of the ATM Access Line element if the customer has an alternative Company-approved means of access to the ATM Network (such as TransLink® or through a Company provided ICB arrangement).




A18. ATM SERVICE 18.7 SERVICE COMPONENTS (Cont’d) F. Gateway Service - This service allows the Company ATM customers to interconnect to

another ATM or FRS Network. The service is available wherever the Company has established a network interface with another private or public ATM or Frame Relay network. The charge for this service covers the facility from the Company ATM port to the interconnecting ATM or Frame Relay point of another company. The charge includes the software defined PVC to the other company’s network to the UNI port, but does not include the UNI port provided by the other company. Gateway Service is purchased in increments of IR. The customer accomplishes this by ordering PVCs and Gateway Service connections to the other company’s ATM or Frame Relay Network.

G. IR and PVC - A monthly rate applies for each PVC based on the IR requested by the

customer. If no IR is indicated, the IR will be set at the default of 50% of the associated ATM UNI Port. A nonrecurring charge applies for the establishment of each PVC and for each subsequent order of PVC(s). A separate rate is established for PVCs that are intraLATA and for PVCs that are interLATA.

Customers may select from three different Categories of Service (or QoS) for PVCs to

ensure greater reliability for mission-critical applications in the event of network congestion:

Lowest Priority – Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR) Higher Priority – Variable Bit Rate-non-real time (VBR-nrt) Highest Priority – Constant Bit Rate (CBR) This flexibility helps to ensure maximum performance and satisfaction for individual

customer communications applications.

H. Nonrecurring Charge (NRC) - A one-time charge for initial installation and installation of

functions and features.
