Note:
1. Prices will be applied in accordance with the ‘Conditions’ section of the Ethernet Access Direct Rugged Services Contract
2. A Site is assumed to be served by suitable fibre from the local exchange. All Orders taken for the provision of Ethernet Access Direct Rugged are subject to feasibility checks to ensure that service can be technically provided. BT reserves the right to charge Excess Construction Charges where necessary including in situations where suitable fibre from the local serving exchange does not exist or is deficient.
3. The ECC Exemption of £2,800 is not available on EAD Rugged. Excess Construction Charges will be raised in addition to normal connection charges where additional infrastructure is provided to give new or extended service at a remote street furniture site or other requested location where BT would otherwise not choose to extend its network on the basis of normal commercial criteria. Excess Construction Charges apply to situations of extended reach, including provision to a new location, but do not apply to situations where existing capacity needs to be increased. There is no ‘within tariff’ allowance - the full value of any applicable charge is payable. Excess Construction Charges are detailed in the Service Products section of the price list, can be found at:http://www.openreach.co.uk/orpg/pricing/serviceproducts.do
4. Phase Synchronisation is available for EAD Rugged 1Gb. The Phase Synchronisation activation fee is a single charge added to the Connection charge of the circuit when requested as part of the provision order (requested at order placement) or as a single discrete charge when activation is requested on an in-life circuit.
5. EAD Rugged 1Gb (Non-Local Access) will incur Openreach's 'EAD Main Link Charge' and/or EAD 'R02 Resilience Main Link Charge' on both 36 month and 60 month minimum period variants.
6. The price applicable to Connection will be that price quoted as part of the Order process which will be that applicable at the date of Order placement. When prices change the new prices will only apply to new Orders received subsequent to the date that a price change applies from. Where orders are amended in flight, the connection price for the service delivered will be billed as at the rate which applied at the Order Validation Date for the EAD Rugged order.
7. Openreach amends its process for billing for products where the annual charge is not divisible by twelve. Openreach will flex the monthly charges by a penny up or down, so that over the course of the year the total price charged is no more than the price listed. The flexing of the monthly charges is shown below.
For the period 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023: April to October £0.016; November to March £0.015
8. For circuits ordered or modified on or after 22/02/2021 the postcode-to-exchange mappings in the LAD file will be used to identify the serving exchanges. The Mainlink distance will be calculated as the radial distance between those serving exchanges, regardless of how the circuit is routed by the planner.
