3.7 Broadspeed Dynamic IP
a. Description
Broadspeed Dynamic IP service is a dynamic integrated Tl service that provides a
high capacity DS 1 (1.544 Mbps) transmission link from an end user's premises to
the Company's switching center and allows customers to integrate voice and data
on the same DS I facility. Broadspeed Dynamic IP is provisioned as a full 1.544
Mbps Internet Protocol (IP) port and Voice over IP (VoIP) technology is
employed to derive analog voice line equivalents within that same IP bandwidth.
Voice traffic is assigned the highest priority traffic type on the IP facility and wil
use whatever bandwidth is necessary to ensure high quality call transmission. IP
bandwidth not being used for voice traffc at any given time is allocated to the
customer's data services and this bandwidth fluctuates depending on the
customer's voice traffc needs. Each Broadspeed Dynamic IP service comes with
a minimum configuration of six (6) voice lines provisioned on a full 1.544 Mbps
Internet access port. At no time is the configuation permitted to be below these
minimum thresholds.
Broadspeed Dynamic IP offers customers the capabilities for local, intraLATA
toll, long distance, 411, 911, dial around and toll-free calls. Customers must
select the Company as their carer for local, intraLATA toll and long distance
calling. Broadspeed Dynamic IP also offers customers the capabilities for
incoming calls only (DID). Direct Inward Dialing permits calls to terminate
directly to a number behind a PBX or DS I-capable system, without the aid of an
attendant.
Customers are initially given the opportunity to subscribe to the Company's
services for 1 year, 2 year or 3 year term commitments, with a 1 year term being
the minimum contractual obligation. At the expiration of the term contract,
Contracts are automatically renewed for a 1 year term at 1 year term rates.
If the Customer discontinues its term commitment prior to the expiration of the
agreed upon contract or requires their configuration of voice and data lines to fall
below the minimum thresholds, the termination liability wil be equal to $400
multiplied by the number of months remaining on the contract.

3. Public Telephone Surcharge
In order to recover the Company's expenses to comply with the FCC's pay telephone
compensation plan effective on October 7, 1997 (FCC 97-371), an undiscountable per
call charge is applicable to all intrastate calls that originate from any pay telephone used
to access Company provided services. This surcharge, which is in addition to standard
tariffed usage charges and any applicable service charges and surcharges associated with
service, applies for the use of the instrument used to access Company provided service
and is unrelated to the service accessed from the pay telephone.
Pay telephones include coin-operated and coinless phones owned by local telephone
companies, independent companies and interexchange carrers. The Public Pay
Telephone Surcharge applies to the initial completed call and any re-originated call (e.g.,

placed from pay telephones at which the Customer pays for service by inserting coins
during the progress of the calL.
Whenever possible, the Public Pay Telephone Surcharge will appear on the same invoice
containing the usage charges for the surcharged call. In cases where proper pay
telephone coding digits are not transmitted to the Company prior to completion of a call,
the Public Pay Telephone Surcharge may be biled on a subsequent invoice after the
Company has obtained information from a carier that the originating station is an
eligible pay telephone.
