Pacific Bell has a new service, thought I would relay it to Telecom. DATA ACCESS LINE DATA ACCESS LINE: Provides a needed customer service, a "cleaner line", for faster, more reliable communication over the switched network. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION/TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION Data Access Line is an analog local loop which is provisioned and maintained to higher quality standards appropriate for data. If necessary, electronic circuitry is added to the line which improves frequency response and compensates for delay and loss. Tests are performed to insure the assigned cable pair meets tight limits for impulse and background noise. If available, an ESS number will be assigned, to help prevent noise caused by electomechanical switches. With an appropriate modem, a customer could reasonably expect to attain 4800bps on most calls within the Service Area. PRICE: The rates for establishing Data Access Line are - MONTHLY RATE SERVICE CHARGE $22.25 per line $175.00 per line The FCC End User Common Line charges apply as well. PRODUCT CONSIDERATIONS: Customers may continue to transmit data over standard access lines. However, we will no longer upgrade these lines when customers experience data problems. A customer's modem will determine what type of jack is required (rj45s, rj11 etc.). A data jack does not improve line quality. Data Access Line is available on a measured basis only, where measuring capability exists.
