Section I.4:  Intrastate Switched Digital Services

Switched Digital Services are not available to Feature Option A Customers.

4.1       Switched Digital Services:  Dial‑up services for transmitting data at speeds of 56 kbps and 64 kbps and at speeds in multiples of 64 kbps. 

Domestic Switched Data 56 and 64 kbps services may be accessed using either:  T‑1 Digital Access Primary Rate Interface (PRI); PRI provided by a Local Exchange Carrier (LEC); LEC-provided Basic Rate Interface (BRI) access; Digital Data Service (DDS) local loops; or, LEC‑provided Switched Digital Access (SDA).  SDA access to Switched Data is available in selected locations.

Switched Digital Services at multiples of 64 kbps may be accessed through Company Primary Rate Interface (PRI) access lines, or LEC‑provided PRI.  The Customer is responsible for obtaining the LEC‑provided PRI access line which connects the Customer's premises to the LEC's central office.  The Customer is billed directly by the LEC for this access type.  Switched services at multiples of 64 kbps require that T‑1 local access lines be equipped with B8ZS line coding from the LEC.
