Dedicated outbound service is distinguished from other services by the existence of a dedicated, special access connection from the Customer’s premises to the Company’s Point of Presence (POP). The dedicated facility would at a minimum be an Integrated DS-1 that provides a digital connection to the Customer.

  2. Terms and Conditions 
    Minimum Service Period:
    The minimum service period for Dedicated LD service is one year except where special construction is requested and in which case the minimum period may be longer. Special construction agreements require minimum commitment periods and are defined via contractual agreements. 

Minimum Facility Requirements:
The Dedicated LD minutes will be carried on an Integrated DS-1 facility. Integrated DS-1 facility allows a Customer to access multiple Company Services on the same facility. These facility arrangements are normally at minimum one-year commitments and are billed in advance of Service and reflect the rates in effect as of the date of the invoice. The non-recurring and monthly recurring charges for the dedicated access facility are in addition to the usage rates detailed below for the dedicated LD product.

Facility Ordering:
In order to prevent interference or impairment of this service and any other service provided on the facility, the Customer must order an adequate number of access paths to handle the expected demand. The Customer should consider the following items when ordering the facility: (1) total call volume, (2) average call duration, (3) time-of-day sensitivity, and (4) busy hour. 

Early Termination Charges:
If service is disconnected prior to the expiration of the term, early termination charges will apply for both the dedicated facility and dedicated LD usage.

  1. Early Termination of the dedicated facility:
    Customers who terminate service prior to the end of the service term as selected will be liable for the cancellation charge associated with all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the dedicated facility and shall be calculated as follows:

    2. any disconnection, early cancellation or termination charges reasonably incurred and paid to third parties by Company on behalf of Customer, plus
    3. all Monthly Recurring Charges associated with the dedicated facility for the unexpired balance of the current term. 
  2. Early Termination of usage charges: 
    Customers who terminate service prior to the end of the service term as selected by Customer will be liable for a cancellation charge which shall be calculated as follows: Cox shall re-rate Customer’s usage for services provided up to the date of termination by charging Customer the difference between the monthly rate for the service term selected by Customer and the rate for service applicable to the longest term plan for service the Customer could have satisfied prior to discontinuance and multiplying this difference by the number of minutes of service actually provided to Customer. All per-minute charges for each month shall be at the per-minute charge based on rate associated with Customer’s highest MOU for the month. Cox bills in six-second increments and rounds up to the nearest six-second increment. If this Call Plan is terminated prior to the expiration of the selected term, or Customer fails to meet all of the conditions set forth in this tariff, Cox will re-rate Customer's usage as provided in this Section.
