SECTION III - DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES (Continued) Calculation of Distance Usage charges for all mileage sensitive products are based on the airline distance between rate centers associated with the originating and terminating points of the call. The airline mileage between rate centers is determined by applying the formula below to the vertical and horizontal coordinates associated with the rate centers involved. (V1- V2)2 + (H 1- H2) FORMULA: Minimum Call Completion Customers can expect a call completion rate of98% during peak use periods for all Feature Group D Equal Access 1 + and 0+ Services. The call completion rate is calculated as the number of calls completed (including calls completed to a busy line or to a line which remains unanswered by the called party) divided by the number of calls completed. Rate Period Overlap For messages which overlap one or more rate periods the rate in effect for each rate period for each portion of the call is applicable. Subject to the billing increments set forth in this tariff, plus any additional charges which may apply, long distance usage charges are based on the actual usage of Excel's service. Usage begins when the called party picks up the receiver. When the called party picks up timing is determined by hardware answer supervision. Chargeable time ends when either party "hangs up" thereby releasing the connection. Excel does not bill for uncompleted calls. Service Area The service area of Excel includes all Equal Access points in Idaho.
