Point-To-Point Service connects two Customer-designated premises, either on a directly connected basis, or through a hub where multiplexing functions are performed.

b) Multipoint Service

Multipoint Services connect three or more Customer designated premises through a Company hub. There is no limitation on the number of locations connected via multipoint service. However, when more than three points are provided in tandem, the quality of service may be degraded. Multipoint service may be provided where technically possible. If Company determines that the requested characteristics for a multipoint service are not compatible, the Customer will be advised and given the opportunity to change the order within 60 days.

5.3 Service Descriptions and Technical Specifications (Cont’d) 5.3.10 Private Local SONET Ring (PLSR)

Private Local SONET Ring (PLSR) service is a local channelized service providing an optical fiber based self-healing digital channel for two-way transmission. The architecture of PLSR is designed to increase the reliability and availability for customer’s private line and access services. The initial offering of PLSR will provide dedicated private SONET Ring networking between various customer sites and Company nodes. A dedicated fiber ring architecture is the preferred transport medium consisting of optical/electrical elements (OC-n fiber muxes) dedicated to the Company end-user customer. Private Local SONET Ring (PLSR) high-bandwidth services provide customers with the high-quality point-to-point circuits and real-time restoration necessitated by mission-critical applications. The Company’s initial PLSR offering consists of the following restorable service types:

• OC-3 • OC-12 • OC-48

5.3.11 Private Local SONET Ring (PLSR) Concatenated (c)

Private Local SONET Ring (PLSR) Concatenated (c) service allocates unchannelized service, providing an optical fiber based self-healing digital two-way transmission. Concatenation is a method of delivering very large amounts of bandwidth by bonding multiple sub rate channels within a SONET payload.

Unlike channelized PLSR services which provides "network handoff's" to demarcations, such as DS1 and DS3 terminations, concatenated PLSR services provides the total ordered bandwidth within the same channel delivered. OC-3(c) service delivers approximately 155.52Mbps, OC-12(c) delivers approximately 622.08Mbps and OC-48(c) is approximately 2.488Mbps via an optical delivery.

The Company's PLSR(c) offering consists of the following restorable service types:

• OC-3(c) • OC-12(c) • OC-48(c)

Note: • Minimum network SONET availability to provide OC-3(c) must be OC-12 • Minimum network SONET availability to provide OC-12(c) must be OC-48 • Minimum network SONET availability to provide OC-48(c) must be OC-192






5.3.12 Inter City Private Line Service

One channel Termination charge applies per Customer designated premises at which the service is terminated.

5.4.2 Channel Mileage

The Channel Mileage Rate Category provides for the transmission facilities between two or more Customer designated premises. The Channel Mileage Rate Category is not applied to services that are less than one V&H computed mile (as described in Section 6 of this Tariff), unless specified. Channel Mileage Rates are comprised of a Fixed Mileage Rate, applied to the first mile, and a Per Mile Rate Element, applied for each mile.





5.4 Rate Categories (Cont’d)

5.4.3 Optional Features and Functions
