U.S. Private Line Services
I. SERVICE DESCRIPTION: U.S. Private Line (USPL) services provides private line transmission service within the U.S. Mainland originating in a Company-designated Point-of-Presence (POP) in one Local Access Transport Area (LATA) and terminating in a Company-designated POP in another LATA via IXC transport. USPL offers a suite of analog, digital, and SONET services available on point-to-point, point-to-multi-point, and multipoint configurations. Access to these services is via Dedicated Access or other compatible Company services.
The following USPL services are available:
1. Analog and Digital Services. Analog and Digital services provide dedicated analog or digital service capable of supporting voice, data, and video communications via dedicated DS-0 (Hubless) Access, T-1 Digital Access, or DS-3 Local Access. The following services are available:

A. Linear DS3. Linear DS3 is a single DS3 IXC connecting two designated Company terminals on the Companys digital fiber-optic network.
B. Restorable DS3. Restorable DS3 is a dedicated circuit that provides redundancy as it is provisioned over a physical ring topology.
2. SONET. (Private Carriage Service) Provides dedicated, point-to-point, optical private line services with synchronous optical network (SONET) transmission at speeds from 155 Mbps to 622 Mbps. The following bandwidths are available for IXC transport between Company-designated POPs: OC3 (155.520 Mbps), and OC12 (622.08 Mbps). Linear, and Restorable circuits are available for all speeds. Concatenated services are available for OC3s and OC12s. OC-48/48c and OC-192/192c may be available on an ICB basis.
3. Wave: Provides ROADM-based layer 1 transport of point to point un-protected private line services. USPL Wave is priced ICB with customer interface options for:
3.1 10 Gb/s Wavelength Service with optical interfaces for:
o 10GbE via 10G LAN PHY (10GBASE-xR)
o 10GbE via 10G WAN PHY (10GBASE-xW)
o 10G Transparent Synchronous Frame (TSF) specified by the customer as SONET OC-192 or SDH STM-64
TSF allows transparent transport of the customer's Data Communications Channel (DCC) (Overhead bytes D1-3 and D4-12) as well as the K1 and K2 line overhead bytes used for APS in customer BLSRs.
o OTU2 (10.7Gb/s) as OTM-0.2 via ITU-T G.959.1 Application Code P1I1-2D1
o OTU2E (11.09 Gb/s) via ITU-T G.959.1 Application Code P1I1-2D1

Customer Provided Access (for the USPL Wave product) is also allowed when co-located at serving LD POPs, where Verizion cross-connects are made to the customer location per the Metro Private Line Access Services in the Guide.
II. DEFINITIONS: In addition to the Online Definitions, the following apply:
Tie Line (TL): A dedicated circuit connecting two locations to establish an internal voice network by interconnecting into each locations PBX or other voice switching device.
Automatic Ringdown (ARD): A dedicated circuit connecting two locations to provide immediate voice connection automatically.
Manual Ringdown (MRD): A dedicated circuit connecting two locations to provide immediate voice connection by manual signaling.
Off-Premises Extension (OPX): A dedicated circuit connecting a distant location to a main PBX to provide the same voice capabilities available at the main Customer location.
Foreign Exchange (FX): A dedicated circuit connecting a distant city to provide a local presence to callers without the expense of maintaining a physical location in a distant city.
SONET Concatenated circuit: A dedicated circuit where several fibers are joined together end-to-end resulting in full bandwidth. Concatenated circuits are noted by a "c", e.g., OC3c.
SONET Linear circuit: A dedicated circuit provisioned as a logical SONET ring over a single physical connection.
SONET Restorable circuit: A dedicated circuit that provides redundancy via SONET protection or mesh restoration as it is provisioned over a physical SONET ring topology.
III. FEATURES AND OPTIONS:
1. Web Digital Reconfiguration Services (Web DRS). As of November 1, 2011, Web DRS is no longer available to new Customers. Web DRS provides Customers with a web-based platform to manage the configuration of their U.S. Private Line circuits, connecting or re-routing circuits as needed using the following Web-based tools:
1.1 Switched DS1 Services (Web DRS SWDS1). Web DRS SWDS1 allows Customers to temporarily access full DS1 bandwidth on demand, for example for infrequent high bandwidth applications such as video conferencing. It is available for DS1 only. Web DRS SWDS1 uses a mesh network of Inter Device Trunks (IDTs) that connects strategic Wideband Digital Cross Connnects (DXCs) in the U.S. Mainland. Tail circuits connect Customer to the Switched T1 Wideband DXC. Using the Web DRS tool, Customer selects any two Customer end points for a connection. Usage charges apply only for the time the connections are active. The connections can be enabled at the time of the request or they can be scheduled to go up and down at a later time.
1.2 Fixed Network Reconfiguration Service (Web DRS FNR). Web DRS FNR allows Customer to redirect its DS0, DS1 or DS3 bandwidth when they temporarily need additional capacity at another location for applications such as disaster recovery. .Web DRS FNR uses a fixed network of multiple pre-defined Customer circuit routes connected to a single DXC. Using the Web DRS tool, Customer may change the route to which the current Customer capacity is assigned and reassign that capacity to a different circuit route.
2. Echo Control. Echo Control provides echo cancellation equipment for DS1 circuits. Echo cancellation devices monitor an incoming signal and generate a negative image which is combined with an echo signal negating the effects of echo on the line. Echo Control is required for each end of a DS1 circuit for IXC lengths of 500 miles or greater when used to transmit voice and analog data.
IV. RATES AND CHARGES:
1. Monthly Recurring Charges. Monthly recurring IXC charges include fixed (flat) per-circuit and per-mile rate components which are bandwidth sensitive and vary according to Mileage Band.
1.1 Verizon Business Services III (VBS III) Charges. The following IXC per-circuit monthly recurring charges apply.
