For example, if the customer discontinues service after 17

charge will be the Minimum Billing Level for the service
multiplied by 15% of the Minimum Billing Level
multiplied by 19 months.
3. Partial Disconnect
If the customer discontinues a portion of their service, and
that causes the customer s montWy billing level to fall
below the Minimum Billing Level of the agreement, a
termination charge will apply to the portion of the service
agreement that is below the Minimum Billing Level.

a. Description
Series completion permits calls to a busy telephone
number to be routed to another telephone number in the
same switching office. More than two numbers may be
linked to form a series completion list. More than one
telephone number can be routed to the same telephone
number.
Series completion is a form of line hunting where a call
is routed to an idle telephone number in a prearranged
group when the called telephone number is busy. In no
case does the hunting occur over more than 16 telephone
numbers. The hunting sequence can be accomplished as
follows:
(1) Number Hunting
The hunt always starts with the called telephone
number and ends with the last telephone number in
the prearranged group, completing the call to the first
idle telephone number encountered. Unless the first
telephone number in the group is called, only a
portion of the group can be tested. The prearranged
sequence can be either consecutive or nonconsecutive.

13. Multiline Hunt Service
a. Description
Multiline hunt service permits calls to a busy telephone
number to be routed to other specified lines that do not
require a telephone number. Hunting is done
sequentially by terminal within the group. A line is
associated with each terminal in the group. One begin-
hunt telephone number must be assigned to the first line
within a group of sequentially ordered lines that form a
multiline hunt group. Telephone numbers may be
assigned to other lines within a multiline hunt group and
could effectively provide subgroups of lines to be hunted.
Telephone numbers can be assigned to the hunting lines
in any sequence.
Multiline hunting service provides a hunting sequence
that attempts to complete a call to the line associated with
the dialed telephone number. If the initial line is found
busy, only the lines following the requested line within
the hunt group are subsequently examined for an idle
state. Busy tone is not sent to the caller unless all
remaining lines in the hunt group list have been found
busy. The call will be completed to the first idle line.

Multiline hunt groups (MHLG) can be assigned two types

begin-hunt TN but can have essentially one per line in the
group. Nonhunting TNs can be assigned to lines within
an MLHG; these lines do not have the multiline feature.
Incoming calls are terminated directly to the individual
lines.
(1) Regular Hunting
Regular hunting starts when a begin-hunt telephone
number is called in a multiline group. Hunting
proceeds in ascending order through each subsequent
terminal (line) in the group until an idle terminal is
reached or the last (highest numbered) terminal in the
group is reached. A preferential hunt list cap be
added to any terminal in a regular hunt group that
has a begin-hunt telephone number. Circular hunting
