1.10 Allowances for Interruptions of Service
1.10.1 Credit for Interruptions
When the use of service or facilities furnished by the Company is interrupted due to any
cause other than the negligence or willful act of the Customer,or the operation or failure of
the facilities or equipment provided by the Customer,a pro rata adjustment of the monthly
Recurring Charges subject to interruption will be allowed for the service and facilities
rendered useless and inoperative by reason of the interruption whenever said interruption
continues for a period of 12 hours or more from the time the interruption is reported to or
known to exist by the Company,except as otherwise specified in the Company's tariffs.If
the Customer reports a service,facility or circuit to be inoperative but declines to release it
for testing and repair,it is considered to be impaired,but not interrupted.
For calculating credit allowances,every month is considered to have 30 days.A credit
allowance is applied on a pro rata basis against the monthly Recurring Charges specified
hereunder for Local Line or Local Trunk Service and is dependent upon the length of the
interruption.Only those facilities on the interrupted portion of the circuit will receive a credit.
Service outages between 12 and 24 hours in duration shall receive a credit for 24 hours.
Credit allowances for service outages that exceed 24 hours in duration will be calculated
as a 30-day credit pursuant to Idaho Rule 503.

2.1.3 Rates Based Upon Distance
Where charges for a service are specified based upon distance,the following rules apply:
Distance between two points is measured as airline distance between the rate centers of
the originating and terminating telephone lines.The rate center is a set of geographiccoordinates,as referenced in the Local Exchange Routing Guide issued by Iconectiv(formerly Telcorida),associated with each NPA-NXX combination (where NPA is the areacodeandNXXisthefirstthreedigitsofasevendigittelephonenumber).Where there is
no telephone number associated with an access line on the Company's network (such as
a dedicated 800 or WATS access line),the Company will apply the rate center of theCustomer's main billing telephone number.
The airline distance between any two rate centers is determined as follows:
(a)Obtain the "V"(vertical)and "H"(horizontal)coordinates for each Rate CenterfromtheabovereferencedIconectivdocument.
(b)Compute the difference between the "V"coordinates of the two rate centers;and
the difference between the two "H"coordinates.
(c)Square each difference obtained in step (b)above.
(d)Add the square of the "V"difference and the square of the "H"difference obtained
in step (c)above.
(e)Divide the sum of the squares by 10.Round to the next higher whole number ifanyfractionisobtained.
(f)Obtain the square root of the whole number result obtained above.Round to the
next higher whole number if any fraction is obtained.This is the airline mileage.
