<1210> Terms & Conditions of Voice Telephony Lifeline Plans
CenturyLink, lnc. has over 100 local exchange carriers (LECs) that serve as eligible
telecommunications carriers (ETCs) providing Lifeline discounts on localtelephone service for
qualifying low-income customers in thirty-seven states. Each LEC's tariff or local terms of
service contain the terms and conditions of voice telephony service plans generally available to
CenturyLink residential customers. Lifeline provides discounts on CenturyLink residential
service plans that include voice telephony service. Lifeline discounts provided to qualified
recipients include the $9.25 per month federal discount plus state discounts, if available. Tribal
Lifeline recipients receive an additionalfederal Lifeline discount of up to $25 per month. Eligible
residents residing on Tribal lands in areas where CenturyLink receives universal service high-
cost support can also receive a Tribal Link Up credit of not more than $100 against one
customary service initiation fee at a primary residence.
CenturyLink's flatrated residential service plans provide unlimited local calling. Lifeline
discounts also may be applied to local residential service plans that include a certain amount of
local minutes or calls at a flat-rate and then have additional charges for minutes or calls beyond
those included in the plan. Lifeline discounts may be applied to bundled service packages that
include voice telephony services, such as bundles with internet service and/or video service.
Lifeline discounts may also apply to voice service plans that include optional calling features
such as caller lD, callwaiting, and voicemail.
Toll service is available to customers receiving Lifeline discounts in the same manner that it is
available to non-Lifeline customers. Toll limitation service is available to Lifeline customers at
no charge.
lnformation concerning CenturyLink's Lifeline program can be found on our Lifeline web page at
http://www.centu rvl in k. com/Paoes/Su oporULifeLine/
A link to the CenturyLink tariff or local terms of service that includes the terms and conditions of
this ETC's Lifeline offering is included in response to line 1220.
NOTES:
1.(172) - (118) The Federal Communications Commission in Connect America Fund; ETC Annual
Reports and Certification; Developing a Unified Intercanier Compensation Regime, WC Docket
Nos. l0-90 and 14-58, CC Docket No. 01-92, Report and Order, Order and Order on
Reconsideration, and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 16-33, atn1l216,220
(rel. Mar. 30, 2016) eliminated the requirements for price cap carriers to file a service quality
improvement plan and to file annual updates.
2. (220) Outages are reported using the criteria provided in 47 C.F.R. 554.313, which differs from
the criteria in 47 C.F.R. $4.5 which is the basis for reporting outages to the Federal Communications
Commission. Therefore, some outages may not have NORS numbers.
4. (300) - (310) CenturyLink is reporting any outstanding requests for voice service from 2015 that
are unfulfilled at the time of this filing. Orders resolved during the year are not reported, including
unfilled orders that are cancelled by the customer.
5. (320) - (330) Centurylink is reporting any outstanding requests for broadband service from
2015 that are unfulfilled at the time of this filing. Orders resolved during the year are not reported,
including unfilled orders that are cancelled by the customer.
6. (410) - (420) Complaints per 1,000 voice access lines are reported as complaints to any federal
and/or state agencies.
7. (440) - (450) Complaints per 1,000 broadband customers are reported as complaints to any
federal and/or state agencies.
B. (711) CenturyLink is reporting ala-cart and data-only broadband rates that meet or exceed both
the download speed of four mega bits per second and upload speed of one mega bit per second.
Upload speeds of 76BR or below are not included in this report.
9. (800), (810)-(813) , (7200), and (1210)-(7223) CenturyLink is a designated eligible
telecommunications carrier that receives Universal Service Support for High Cost Areas under 47
C.F,R. 54 subpart D. Therefore, Centurylink is only subject to subpart (a) of 47 C.F.R. 554.422 as it
applies to this filing.
10. (810) - (813) Per FCC DA13-7707 released August 6,2073, CenturyLink is reporting holding
company, operating companies, and affiliates (as defined under section 3 of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. S 153(2)) that are designated as eligible telecommunications
carriers and/or that provide retail broadband internet access to end-user customers.
71. (927) - (929) To the extent the carrier serves federally recognized tribal lands, the attached
narrative, in response to line 920, should be relied on to describe tribal outreach and interaction. If
the carrier at least offered to discuss the points listed in 47 C.F.R. $5a,313(a)(9) to the federally
recognized tribes served in a study area, lines 92t-929 were marked with a "yes" response.
12. (1000) - (1010) Carriers must certifi/ that their local rates are at or below two standard
deviations of the applicable national average urban rate for voice service, as specified in the most
recent public notice issued by the Wireline Competition Bureau and Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau. Qwest Corporation d/b/a CenturyLink (Wyoming) and United Telephone Company of the
West d/b/a Centurylink fWyoming) have certain exchanges with explicit cost based local rates
above this standard. Customers in such exchanges receive a Federal Universal Service credit and/or
a State Universal Service credit explicitly on their bill. This results in a net charge that is lower than
two standard deviations of the applicable national average urban rate for voice service.
13. (2010), (2071), (2015) and (2016) Per FCC DA 13-2101 released October 30,2073, CenturyLink
is certifying at a holding company level.
74. (20LL) and (2025) Centurylinh in the November 9, 2015 In the Matter of ETC Annuol Reports
ond Certificatrons; WC Docket No. 14-58, provided location data for Connect America Fund Phase 1
Incremental Support Program Round 1 ("Round 1")for both the second and third year completion
periods. Therefore no Round 1 data is provided in this filing. Future network utilization could
impact broadband service at the previously disclosed locations.
15. (3000)-(3034) These questions are not applicable. This company is considered to be a Federal
Price Cap Carrier or an affiliate associated with a Federal Price Cap Carrier for the purposes of this
filing.
