Dedicated Toll Free Service

1. General
   
   Dedicated Toll Free (TF) service permits Business Customers, with substantial toll free call volume, to receive inbound calls from diverse service areas. Dedicated Toll Free 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. The Rates and Charges as detailed in Section 3 are provided for On-Net facilities only. Off-Net facility pricing will be provided on a case-by-case basis.
