Optical Spectrum Access service reconfiguration

Feature	Note	Connection Charge £Exc Vat

http://www.openreach.co.uk/orpg/pricing/serviceproducts.do

Note:

1) These prices will be applied in accordance with Section 12, of the ‘Conditions’ section of the Contract for Optical Spectrum Services. Further information on Openreach’s Optical Spectrum Access pricing can be found on the product website:

2) All Orders taken for the provision of Optical Spectrum Access are subject to feasibility checks to ensure that service can be technically provided. BT reserves the right to charge Excess Construction Charges where necessary, including situations where suitable fibre from the local serving exchange does not exist or is deficient.

3) A fixed charge is made for each Bearer and associated wavelengths. An additional Main Link charge is made for each circuit, calculated on the radial distance between the local serving exchanges. Main Link charges do not apply for circuits within the same local serving exchange area.

4) Rental is payable in advance. Quarterly billing of this item is offered as standard. Monthly billing is also available upon request. A 28 day cut off period is applicable prior to the end of the standard quarterly billing cycle.

5) All days will be calculated as Working Days, i.e. ignoring weekends and public or bank holidays in the Territory. The cancellation date must be given in writing by the Communications Provider. If BT fails to meet the Contractual Delivery Date and the Communications Provider cancels the order, a charge will not be raised. The full cost of any additional work, e.g. duct, which has been specifically incurred for the order by the time of the cancellation, will be recovered in addition to the cancellation charge. Should a Communications Provider request amendments to the Contractual Delivery Date and subsequently cancels the order, the cancellation charge will be calculated on the days between the dates that the Communications Provider notified BT of the first amendment and the original Contractual Delivery Date.

6) For Time Related Charges (applicable to Out of Hours Visits, Abortive Visits, Equipment Testing, etc.) refer to the Service Products section of the price list, can be found at:

http://www.openreach.co.uk/orpg/pricing/serviceproducts.do

7) Excess Construction Charges will be raised in addition to normal connection charges where additional infrastructure is provided to give new or extended service at a remote Site or other requested location where BT would otherwise not choose to extend its network on the basis of normal commercial criteria. Excess Construction Charges apply to situations of extended reach, including provision to a new location, but do not apply to situations where existing capacity needs to be increased. There is no ‘within tariff’ allowance - the full value of any applicable charge is payable. Excess Construction Charges are detailed in the Service Products section of the price list, can be found at:

http://www.openreach.co.uk/orpg/pricing/serviceproducts.do

8) Service Product charges will be applied in addition to standard connection charges, if applicable.
