Product Notification
CLECs, Resellers
Qwest DSL TM
Qwest is pleased to announce additional information for our CLEC and Resale customers regarding our DSL services. Historically, the following actions have occurred for Qwest DSL TM services:
 On December 13, 2003, the tariffed rates for Qwest DSL TM decreased significantly.
This means an even better value proposition for CLECs/Resellers when the lower tariffed rates are combined with the discounts that Qwest makes available to its CLEC/Reseller partners.
 Effective December 18, 2003, Qwest began offering a recurring discount, equal to your Wh olesale (“Resale”) ACS discount, on Qwest DSL service to CLECs interested in purchasing Qwest DSL on UNE-P POTS.
This exciting offer will allow UNE-P CLECs to receive a discount equal to the Resale discount on the tariffed monthly recurring charges associated with Qwest DSL for your UNE-P end users.
 On February 7, 2004, Qwest launched Qwest Choice DSL Deluxe, a new DSL product that includes downstream speeds of up to 1.5Mbps and upstream speeds of up to
1M.
 This offering will allow CLECs/Resellers to offer a broadband Internet access product that includes bandwidth comparable to cable modem, at a much lower price point.
 Effective February 28, 2004, Qwest launched Qwest DSL service via Resale without requiring an underlying local exchange voice service, “Qwest Stand Alone DSL”.
CLECs/Resellers are no longer required to market, sell and bill for voice services and can now “laser focus” on the broadband Internet access market.

A perfect fit for the growing wireless replacement voice market. These tech-savvy end users often require an always-on broadband Internet access solution.
In addition to Qwest’s compelling offers on the DSL line, Actiontec Electronics, Inc. has agreed to offer Qwest’s CLECs/Resellers an end-to-end solution that includes DSL modem purchase and fulfillment.
Action tec and Qwest agree that our collective scale and experience could be a tremendous benefit to Qwest’s CLEC/Reseller partners. Together, we have worked to design DSL modem solutions that include:
 Preferred modem pricing, supporting your profitable and competitive position.
 Fully customized, nationwide modem fulfillment and compatibility that will offer you a single source for modems that easily integrate into the nation’s largest DSL networks.
Note: In cases of conflict between the changes implemented through this notification and any CLEC interconnection agreement (whether based on the Qwest SGAT or not), the rates, terms and conditions of such interconnection agreement shall prevail as between Qwest and the CLEC party to such interconnection agreement.
