issue raised by the customer to Bell and at the request of the │
customer to test the services provided by the Company, the │
Company completes testing activities and finds that there is │
no fault in the Company's facilities; or when a truck roll is │
required to an end-user's premises and no trouble is found in │
the Company's facilities and/or equipment but such trouble │
continues to be present when the customer-provided │
equipment is reconnected to the Company's facilities and/or │
equipment, a charge as specified in Item 4210.1.(b) – │
Diagnostic Maintenance Charge applies. If however, within │

│
(a) For charges for Serving Area Manager Fees, Multiple │
Domain Names, Administration Fees and Gateway Mapping │
Administration Fee, see Item 5410 4.(f). │
│
(1) Two alternate Serving Area Manager Fees are │
applicable. The first fee option is used to activate the │
Province of Ontario serving area or the Province of Québec │
serving area in the Company's territory. The second fee │
option provides for the activation of all serving areas in the │
Company's territory. │
│
(2) Multiple Domain Names: │
│
(i) One time rates apply for programming the Broadband │
Access Server (BAS), on the same logical path with the first │
additional domain name and subsequent additional domain │
names on the same order. │
│
(ii) Multiple domain names are limited to a maximum of │
fifteen. │
│
(3) Administration Fees: Administration Fees provide for │
business office work that is required to perform the │
following functions: Customer Name Change, Mergers and │
Acquisitions and Customer Cutover or Access upgrades, │
including Access speed changes for end-users. │
Administration fees will not apply to customers migrating │
an AHSSPI from the Company's ATM network to its IP │
network. │
│
(4) Gateway Mapping Administration Fee: The Gateway │
Mapping Administration Fee addresses the work required to │
remap logical paths from each of Bell's BASs to the │
customer's PoP site allowing for end-user authentication. │
The number of BASs is dependent upon the number and │
specific location of the serving areas the customer has │
chosen to offer service. Larger urban centres require more │
BASs, this translates into higher numbers of BASs that may │
be impacted by mergers and acquisitions, customer cutover │
or access upgrades and potentially name changes. Gateway │
Mapping Administration Fees will not apply to customers │
migrating an AHSSPI from the Company's ATM network to │
its IP network. Service providers with the same │
configuration for all BAS in a serving area will be charged │
one Gateway Mapping Administration Fee for each serving │
area when changes to BASs are required. N

the serving wire centre, and node as appropriate, fibre │
facilities between the serving wire centre and node, and │
cross connection of such equipment to Company or CLEC │
provided voice service. One GAS-FTTN Access is required │
for each end-user. │
│
(f) The point of demarcation for ADSL AHSSPI is │
dependent upon speed and is defined as follows: │
│
(1) for DS-3 and OC-3, the point of demarcation is the │
Fibre Management Facility associated with the ATM switch │
or concentrator nearest to the service provider's PoP; │
│
(2) for Ethernet 10 Base-T, Ethernet 100 Base-T, Ethernet │
400 Mbps, and Ethernet 1000 Mbps, the point of │
demarcation is the patch panel associated with the network │
devices nearest to the service provider's PoP. │
│
(g) GAS-FTTN Access will only be provisioned over │
Company provided primary exchange service, unbundled │
local loops used to provide CLEC primary exchange service │
and dry loops. │
│
(1) The Company will not offer additional services to the │
end-user over an unbundled local loop being used by a │
competitor for GAS-FTTN when it is provided over dry │
loops. N

TN 7290B
Item
│
│
(h) The ADSL equipment is subject to operational │
constraints related to the characteristics of the underlying │
loop facility. Service providers may use GAS-FTTN to │
establish high-speed connections to only those end-user │
premises located within the operational range of the ADSL │
serving equipment associated with suitably equipped remote │
locations. Service providers may not use GAS-FTTN to │
establish high-speed connections to end-user premises │
located beyond the range of the ADSL serving equipment. │
│
(i) The GAS-FTTN customer is billed one (1) month in │
advance and is charged based on the number of end-users. │
│
(j) The service provider is required to provide at least one │
month's notice, in writing, of early termination of the │
GAS-FTTN Access Service contract. │
│
(k) If an end-user cancels their Company or CLEC │
provided voice service or if it is otherwise removed from │
service, billing for GAS-FTTN will continue until the │
Company has been notified by the service provider that │
GAS-FTTN is to be terminated. │
│
(l) Serving Area Activation is associated with the │
Broadband Access Server (BAS). The BAS is a network │
device which aggregates GAS-FTTN Accesses to a single │
point within a given broadband serving area, and provides │
the capability to 'switch' an individual access between │
multiple networks. The BAS supports Point to Point │
│
Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE).
│
(m) The Serving Area Activation is the element within the │
BAS that communicates with the end-user PC client's │
connection software. It "logically" connects the network │
destination with the appropriate logon "network name". │
Serving Area Activation is a one time activity only. │
│
(n) A service provider cannot have ATM and IP AHSSPIs │
within the same serving area. Service providers with an IP │
AHSSPI will be provided a maximum of 3 IP addresses per │
AHSSPI. N

TN 7290B
Item
│
│
(o) Service providers subscribing to GAS-FTTN will be │
responsible for obtaining the following elements required to │
make the service operational: │
- RADIUS Server. │
- Class C Address Block - "Aggregated" reserved for │
ADSL use and distribution by the Company activated by │
end-user login. │
- xDSL or other compatible high speed modem, subject to │
the Company's acceptance. │
- Filters – In some circumstances, end-users may detect │
audible noise on their telephone line following the │
installation of the modem, necessitating the use of │
voice/data filters installed directly in the telephone jack. │
- ATM or Ethernet connectivity between the Company's │
broadband network and service provider's PoP. │
│
(p) A customer who subscribes to GAS-FTTN and one or │
more of Gateway Access Service (GAS) (Item 5410), High │
Speed Access Service (HSA) (Item 5420) and High Speed │
Access Service – Fibre to the Node (HSA-FTTN) (Item │
5450) may use one Company-provided AHSSPI for all │
traffic from those services. │
│
(q) When transferring and/or acquiring existing Domain │
names, the transfer of end-users associated with these │
Domain names is required. The Service Provider is │
responsible for the transfer of the end-users to the Service │
Provider's profile. │
│
(r) As a condition of service under this tariff, and in │
accordance with paragraphs 50, 66 and 104 of Telecom │
Regulatory Policy CRTC 2009-657, Review of the Internet │
traffic management practices of Internet service providers │
(TRP 2009-657), customers employing Internet Traffic │
Management Practices (ITMPs) shall: │
│
(1) whether or not they are Canadian carriers, abide by the │
requirements of subsection 27(2) of the │
Telecommunications Act with regard to any ITMPs they │
employ;
│
(2) abide by the disclosure requirements described in │
TRP 2009-657; and │
│
(3) not use for other purposes personal information │
collected for the purposes of traffic management or disclose │
such information. N

TN 7290B
Item
│
│
(s) The customer is responsible for the installation, │
operation and maintenance of any equipment, apparatus or │
devices that the customer or end-user provides and which is │
attached or connected to or used with the Company's │
facilities and/or equipment. When, as a result of a service │
issue raised by the customer to Bell and at the request of the │
customer to test the services provided by the Company, the │
Company completes testing activities and finds that there is │
no fault in the Company's facilities; or when a truck roll is │
required to an end-user's premises and no trouble is found in │
the Company's facilities and/or equipment but such trouble │
continues to be present when the customer-provided │
equipment is reconnected to the Company's facilities and/or │
equipment, a charge as specified in Item 4210.1.(b) – │
Diagnostic Maintenance Charge applies. If however, within │
a two week period, testing activities identify fault with the │
Company's facilities; or if the trouble is no longer present │
upon reconnection of the customer-provided equipment, no │
charge will apply. │
│
(t) GAS-FTTN does not support the routing or │
transmission of multicast traffic. │
│
(u) GAS-FTTN does not support the sharing of modems │
between the Company and the GAS-FTTN customer. │
│
(v) If an end-user chooses to receive Internet service from │
the GAS-FTTN customer and IPTV service from the │
Company, and a second loop is available, the GAS-FTTN │
customer shall pay the GAS Access Over Dry Loops rates │
and charges set out in Item 5410 – Gateway Access Service, │
in addition to all other applicable GAS-FTTN rates and │
charges. If a second loop is not available, GAS-FTTN │
service will not be provided. │
│
(w) GAS-FTTN Accesses are provided on the Company's │
fibre to the node facilities. GAS-FTTN Accesses are not │
available on the Company's fibre to the home facilities. │

4. Rates and Charges │
│
(a) For charges for Serving Area Manager Fees, Multiple │
Domain Names, Administration Fees and Gateway Mapping │
Administration Fee, see Item 5410 4.(f). │
│
(1) Two alternate Serving Area Manager Fees are │
applicable. The first fee option is used to activate the │
Province of Ontario serving area or the Province of Québec │
serving area in the Company's territory. The second fee │
option provides for the activation of all serving areas in the │
Company's territory. │
│
(2) Multiple Domain Names: │
│
(i) One time rates apply for programming the Broadband │
Access Server (BAS), on the same logical path with the first │
additional domain name and subsequent additional domain │
names on the same order. │
│
(ii) Multiple domain names are limited to a maximum of │
fifteen. │
│
(3) Administration Fees: Administration Fees provide for │
business office work that is required to perform the │
following functions: Customer Name Change, Mergers and │
Acquisitions and Customer Cutover or Access upgrades, │
including Access speed changes for end-users. │
Administration fees will not apply to customers migrating │
an AHSSPI from the Company's ATM network to its IP │
network. │
│
(4) Gateway Mapping Administration Fee: The Gateway │
Mapping Administration Fee addresses the work required to │
remap logical paths from each of Bell's BASs to the │
customer's PoP site allowing for end-user authentication. │
The number of BASs is dependent upon the number and │
specific location of the serving areas the customer has │
chosen to offer service. Larger urban centres require more │
BASs, this translates into higher numbers of BASs that may │
be impacted by mergers and acquisitions, customer cutover │
or access upgrades and potentially name changes. Gateway │
Mapping Administration Fees will not apply to customers │
migrating an AHSSPI from the Company's ATM network to │
its IP network. Service providers with the same │
configuration for all BAS in a serving area will be charged │
one Gateway Mapping Administration Fee for each serving │
area when changes to BASs are required. N
