Digital Data Service: Monthly Transmission Charges for Digital Circuits

Note:
For multipoint circuits, the transmission charge is determined by the distance between the furthest 2 sites.

Analogue Transmission Charges

Distance dependent charges for the analogue leg are based on the junction and transmission charges for A2 circuits, and are independent of the speed of the digital circuit.

Monthly charge per kilometre for junction circuits $12.50

Digital Data Service: Monthly Transmission Charges for Analogue Circuits

These charges are in addition to transmission charges applying to the DDS portion of the circuit.

4.9.4 Alteration and Reconfiguration Charges

• Upgrade from analogue access to digital access No charge
• Change of speed between 2.4 kbit/s, 4.8 kbit/s and 9.6 kbit/s per Customer Network for circuits with solely digital access $150.00
• Change of speed between 2.4 kbit/s, 4.8 kbit/s and 9.6 kbit/s per end of circuit for circuits with analogue access $150.00

Note:
The analogue change of speed charge is in addition to the network change of speed charge.

• Charge per access for diversion of data stream (no visit to customers premises required) $150.00

Note:
Where diversion of the data stream requires a visit to the customers premises, the charge will be based on the actual costs involved (labour and materials), but will not be less than $150.00.

• Circuits may be changed from the Digital Data Service (DDS) to the Packet Switch Service (PSS) and from PSS to DDS. This service is only available for Digital Data Service circuits with digital access. There is a charge for this service.
  • Charge per access for changing from DDS to PSS, 2.4 kbit/s service $400.00
  • Charge per access for changing from DDS to PSS, 4.8 kbit/s service $400.00
  • Charge per access for changing from DDS to PSS, 9.6 kbit/s service $400.00
  • Charge per access for changing from DDS to PSS, 48 kbit/s service $600.00
  • Charge per access for changing from PSS to DDS, 2.4 kbit/s service $150.00
  • Charge per access for changing from PSS to DDS, 4.8 kbit/s service $150.00
  • Charge per access for changing from PSS to DDS, 9.6 kbit/s service $150.00
  • Charge per access for changing from PSS to DDS, 48 kbit/s service $600.00

4.9.5 Other Charges

Temporary Lease

The minimum lease period for circuits and associated equipment is 6 months if customers wish to receive Telecom’s normal monthly charges. For temporary leasing periods of less than 6 months, customers are charged a weekly rate which is 34% of the appropriate monthly charge. There is a minimum charge for temporary leases of any duration. This minimum charge is twice the weekly temporary lease charge (i.e., 68% of the monthly charge).

Reconnection Charge

• Charge per customer site for disconnection or reconnection of data stream (no visit to customers premises required) $80.00

Note:
Where reconnection or disconnection of the data stream requires a visit to the customer’s premises, the charge will be based on the actual costs involved, and will not be less than $80.00.

Restrapping and Charge-of-NTU-Interface Charges

The charge for any work involving visits to customer premises, for example restrapping or change of NTU interface, will be based on the actual costs involved. These will include, for example, labour, material and travelling time.

4.10 WIDEBAND DIGITAL DATA SERVICE (ALSO KNOWN AS NX64 KBIT/S)

The Wideband Digital Data Service (DDS) is a managed data transmission service, with circuits (links) available in multiples of 64kbit/s circuits.

4.10.1 Installation Charges

The installation charge for a circuit up to 2 km from the local exchange is based on the actual costs involved, but will not exceed a predetermined maximum charge.

• Maximum charge per end of link $7500.00

For installing access circuits further than 2 km from the local exchange, there will be an additional charge to the customer. This charge will be determined by the local
