Common use of Unbundled Loop Modifications (Line Conditioning Clause in Contracts

Unbundled Loop Modifications (Line Conditioning. 2.5.1 Line Conditioning is defined as routine network modification that AT&T regularly undertakes to provide xDSL services to its own customers. This may include the removal of any device, from a copper Loop or copper Subloop that may diminish the capability of the Loop or Subloop to deliver high-speed switched wireline telecommunications capability, including xDSL service. Such devices include, load coils, excessive bridged taps, low pass filters, and range extenders. Excessive bridged taps are bridged taps that serves no network design purpose and that are beyond the limits set according to industry standards and/or the AT&T’s TR 73600 Unbundled Local Loop Technical Specification. AT&T shall provide Line Conditioning on Loops, as requested by Syniverse, even in instances where AT&T does not provide advanced services to the end user on that Loop. 2.5.2 AT&T will remove load coils only on copper Loops that are equal to or less than eighteen thousand (18,000) feet in length. AT&T will remove load coils on copper Subloops where the total loop distance (feeder plus distribution) from the AT&T central office to the end user is equal to or less than 18,000 feet or, if there is no copper feeder, the distance from the remote terminal (RT) to the end user is equal to or less than 18,000 feet. 2.5.3 For any copper loop being ordered by Syniverse which has over six thousand (6,000) feet of combined bridged tap will be modified, upon request from Syniverse, so that the loop will have a maximum of six thousand (6,000) feet of bridged tap. This modification will be performed at no additional charge to Syniverse. Loop conditioning orders that require the removal of bridged tap that serves no network design purpose on a copper Loop that will result in a combined total of bridged tap between two thousand five hundred (2,500) and six thousand (6,000) feet will be performed at the rates set forth in Exhibit A. 2.5.4 Syniverse may request removal of any unnecessary and non-excessive bridged tap (bridged tap between zero (0) and two thousand five hundred (2,500) feet which serves no network design purpose), at rates pursuant to AT&T’s SC Process as mutually agreed to by the Parties. 2.5.5 Rates for ULM are as set forth in Exhibit A. 2.5.6 AT&T will not modify a Loop in such a way that it no longer meets the technical parameters of the original Loop type (e.g., voice grade, ADSL, etc.) being ordered. 2.5.7 If Syniverse requests ULM on a reserved facility for a new Loop order, AT&T may perform a pair change and provision a different Loop facility in lieu of the reserved facility with ULM if feasible. The Loop provisioned will meet or exceed specifications of the requested Loop facility as modified. Syniverse will not be charged for ULM if a different Loop is provisioned. For Loops that require a DLR or its equivalent, AT&T will provide LMU detail of the Loop provisioned. 2.5.8 Syniverse shall request Loop make up information pursuant to this Attachment prior to submitting a service inquiry and/or a LSR for the Loop type that Syniverse desires AT&T to condition. 2.5.9 When requesting ULM for a Loop that AT&T has previously provisioned for Syniverse, Syniverse will submit a SI to AT&T. If a spare Loop facility that meets the Loop modification specifications requested by Syniverse is available at the location for which the ULM was requested, Syniverse will have the option to change the Loop facility to the qualifying spare facility rather than to provide ULM. In the event that AT&T changes the Loop facility in lieu of providing ULM, Syniverse will not be charged for ULM but will only be charged the service order charges for submitting an order.
