V1 Circuit: Monthly Transmission Charges

Notes:

• Prices for 4-wire and 6-wire circuits will be a maximum of, respectively, twice and three times the 2-wire charges.
• All new circuits provided after the 1st October 1991 will be charged at the 2-wire transmission rate.
• Where junction circuits are provided in conjunction with transmission link, Telecom at its discretion may waive the first 10 km of junction charges.

5.3.5 Alteration and Reconfiguration Charges

• External removal charge per end for voice circuits $145.00
• External removal charge per end for Foreign Exchange Service (FES) circuits $210.00
• External removal charge per end for Intercept circuits $210.00
• Internal removal charge per end for voice circuits $60.00
• Internal removal charge per end for Foreign Exchange Service (FES) circuits actual costs
• Internal removal charge per end for Intercept circuits actual costs
• Jumpering charge, per site, for redirecting existing circuits within the exchange, at the customer's request $45.00
• Charge per circuit/per site for exchange work at the customer's request (This charge covers patching charges and other exchange work that may be undertaken for a customer) $45.00

Note:
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.

5.3.6 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 that applies to 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 for reconnection of a circuit after disconnection for non-payment $45.00

Signalling Converter Charges

These charges cover the lease of a signalling converter, which is required for voice circuits used as tie-lines between PABXs.

• Monthly charge for converters on tie-lines with access to extensions via operator $10.50
• Monthly charge for converters on tie-lines with direct dialling in one direction without access to the operator $10.50
• Monthly charge for converters on tie-lines with direct dialling in one direction with access to the operator $21.00
• Monthly charge for converters on tie-lines with direct dialling in two directions $42.50

5.4 Analogue Data Service (A1, A2, A3)

Analogue Data Service is a voice-frequency service suitable for data transmission. There are 3 different types of Analogue Data Service available:

• An A1 circuit is a 2-wire analogue circuit, unconditioned for data
• An A2 circuit is a 4-wire analogue circuit, unconditioned for data
• An A3 circuit is a 4-wire special-quality analogue circuit, conditioned for data

5.4.1 Installation Charges

• Charge per end for new connection or installation for A1 circuit $420.00
• Charge per end for new connection or installation for A2 circuit $420.00
• Charge per end for new connection or installation for A3 circuit $500.00
• Charge per splitter/combiner for installation $150.00

5.4.2 Extended Area Installation Charges

In cases where electronic enhancement of the copper cable is required to provide a satisfactory service to the customer (typically for distances of over 10 km), a capital contribution will be charged. The capital contribution will be negotiated between Telecom’s Regional Operating Companies and the customer.

5.4.3 Monthly Access Charges

• Charge per end of circuit for A1 circuits $40.00
• Charge per end of circuit for A2 circuits $80.00
• Charge per end of circuit for A3 circuits $80.00
• Distance surcharge per kilometre for A1 circuits $8.50
• Distance surcharge per kilometre for A2 circuits $12.50
• Distance surcharge per kilometre for A3 circuits $12.50

Note:
The distance surcharge applies wherever the circuit terminates more than 5 km from the exchange.
