Common use of Diversity Feature Clause in Contracts

Diversity Feature. Customers may order two circuits for the same Customer Site for redundancy purposes by specifying the circuits as a diverse circuit pair (“Diversity Feature”). Two types of diversity are available as specified below. Customers will specify the service type (Tiered or Burstable Select described in clause 2.2 below) for each of the circuits within the diverse circuit pair. Customer shall also specify whether the second circuit in the pair should be an active or passive circuit. A Diversity Feature charge will be applied (detailed in the Service Order). Verizon recommends that the speeds of both circuits should be the same and Customer acknowledges that large differences between the speeds of the circuits may affect performance in the event of an outage. The Diversity Features enable access to the Network under circumstances where primary circuit is unavailable. Diversity Features are subject to availability and are available on a reasonable efforts basis. The term of such features is co-extensive with the term for Internet Dedicated Service.
