Common use of Loop Clause in Contracts

Loop. 45.1. CenturyLink will provide CLEC access to Local Loops, including Copper Loops, DS1 Loops, DS3 Loops, Hybrid Loops, FTTC Loops and FTTH Loops. The following section includes the terms and conditions for Copper Loops, DS1 Loops, DS3 Loops, Hybrid Loops, FTTC Loops and FTTH Loops. Terms and conditions for making any network modifications resulting from CLEC’s request for Local Loops are contained in Section 54. 45.2. At CLEC’s request, and if Technically Feasible, CenturyLink will test and report trouble on conditioned loops for all of the line’s features, functions, and capabilities, and will not restrict its testing to voice-transmission only. Testing shall include Basic Testing and Cooperative Testing. Optional Cooperative Testing and Joint Testing are performed only at CLEC’s request. To the extent CLEC requests testing that would require CenturyLink to purchase new equipment, establish new procedures, or make systems modifications, CLEC will compensate CenturyLink for costs incurred to provide such testing. Request for additional testing must be submitted pursuant to the BFR Process in Section 42. 45.2.1. Basic Testing shall include simple metallic measurements only. Basic Testing does not include cooperative or joint testing efforts that require CenturyLink’s technician to work jointly with CLEC’s staff (“Cooperative Testing” or “Joint Testing”). 45.2.2. Cooperative testing is provided on service order activity only and will be provided by CenturyLink at CLEC’s expense. CenturyLink technicians will try to contact CLEC’s representative at the conclusion of installation. If the CLEC does not respond within three (3) minutes, CenturyLink may, in its sole discretion, continue its attempts to contact the CLEC’s representative, and xxxx the CLEC in increments of fifteen (15) minutes for the technician’s time for so long as such efforts continue, or CenturyLink may abandon the test and CLEC will be charged for the test and any additional technician time involved (beyond the initial 3 minutes) at the rates set out in Table One. 45.2.3. Joint Testing is provided on maintenance activity only and will be provided by CenturyLink at CLEC’s expense, when requested. CenturyLink technicians will try to contact CLEC’s representative to initiate Joint Testing after completing the requested activity. If the CLEC does not respond within three (3) minutes, CenturyLink may, in its sole discretion, continue its attempts to contact the CLEC’s representative, and xxxx the CLEC in increments of fifteen (15) minutes for the technician’s time for so long as such efforts continue, or CenturyLink may abandon the test and CLEC will be charged for the test and any additional technician time involved (beyond the initial 3 minutes) at the rates set out in Table One. Loops involving multiplexing prohibit the reading of a short. 45.2.4. CenturyLink will charge CLEC at the rates set out on Table One, when the location of the trouble on a CLEC-reported ticket is determined to be in CLEC’s network or on the CLEC end user’s side of the Demarcation Point.
