4080 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 188

There are exceptions to this Step A to Step E principle for monthly transmission charges. The exceptions are:

• Loop Signalling Circuits (L1)—see section 4.5.
• Telegraph Circuits (T1-T2)—see section 4.7

4.1.4 Other Charges

There are charges for the temporary lease of circuits, and for costs associated with the reconnection of circuits after disconnection.

There are also charges for special conditioning requirements and other services—see the appropriate subsections within this section (National Leased Circuit Services) for details about these services and their charges.

Alteration and reconfiguration charges on application.

4.2 ANALOGUE LEASED CIRCUITS

The basic analogue leased-circuit service available from Telecom for new connections is a 2-wire unconditioned voice-grade circuit, operating between 300 and 3400 Hz.

The charges associated with this service are listed in sections 4.3 (Voice-Circuit Service) and 4.4 (Analogue Data Service). There are extra charges for enhancements to this basic service, and these are listed as Other Charges in sections 4.3.6 and 4.4.6.

4.2.1 Monthly Transmission Charges for Analogue Leased Circuits.

Transmission charges for analogue leased circuits are a variation of the Step A to Step E rates which were detailed in section 4.1.3. In general, this means:

• Local Exchange Area circuits between adjacent local-calling areas are charged at the Step A rate. This applies whether circuits are in the same tariff zones, or in different tariff zones.
• Circuits between non adjacent local-calling areas (within a tariff zone) are charged twice the Step A rate.
• Circuits between tariff zones which do not involve adjacent local-calling areas are charged at the Step B to Step E rates.

Where circuits within a zone terminate off exchanges other than the Tariff Zone Centre, some combination of Step A rates will apply.

Exceptions to the above occur where demand has been sufficiently high to justify the installation of direct circuits. The exceptions are as follows:

• Auckland — Pakuranga Junction charge only
• Rotorua — Tauranga Step A
• Wanganui — Hawera Step B
• Pahiatua — Ohakune 2 x Step A
• Palmerston North — Ohakune Step A
• Wanganui — Ohakune 2 x Step A
• Pahiatua — Marton 2 x Step A
• Palmerston North — Marton 1 x Step A
• Taihape — Marton 2 x Step A
• Palmerston North — Pahiatua Step A
• Taihape — Pahiatua 2 x Step A
• Taihape — Palmerston North 1 x Step A
• Wanganui — Pahiatua Step B plus Step A
• Featherston — Dannevirke Step B plus 2 x Step A
• Levin — Dannevirke 2 x Step A
• Marton — Dannevirke 2 x Step A
• Masterton — Dannevirke 2 x Step A
• Ohakune — Dannevirke 2 x Step A
• Pahiatua — Dannevirke 2 x Step A
• Palmerston North — Dannevirke 2 x Step A
• Taihape — Dannevirke 2 x Step A
• Wanganui — Dannevirke 2 x Step A
• Wanganui — Taihape 2 x Step A
• Wellington — Dannevirke Step B plus Step A
• Paraparaumu — Levin Step B
• Marton — Levin 2 x Step A
• Ohakune — Levin 2 x Step A
• Pahiatua — Levin 2 x Step A
• Taihape — Levin 2 x Step A
• Wellington — Masterton Step A
• Wellington — Blenheim Step B
• Timaru — Ashburton Step B

4.3 VOICE-CIRCUIT SERVICE (V1)

The Voice-Circuit Service provides voice-grade circuits for use as PABX tie-lines, Foreign Exchange Service (FES) circuits, etc.

The basic Voice-Circuit Service available from Telecom is a 2-wire unconditioned voice-grade circuit, operating between 300 and 3400 Hz. 4-wire and 6-wire unconditioned circuits are also available.

4.3.1 Installation Charges

• Charge per end for a 2-wire new connection or installation for voice circuits $145.00
• Charge per end for a 2-wire new connection or installation FES voice circuits $210.00
  (The extra charge associated with this service is for the installation of the relay sets or repeaters on the circuit)
• Charge per end for 2-wire new connection or installation for intercept voice circuits $210.00

The above prices are for 2-wire circuits. The prices for 4-wire and 6-wire circuits will be a maximum of, respectively, twice and three times the 2-wire charges.
