1.0 High Speed Internet Service Description
1.1 General
AT&T High Speed Internet Business Edition is a digital data service that lets Customer send
and receive data over existing telephone lines. A DSL signal travels on the same line that
Customers phone uses. DSL technology uses higher signal frequencies than those used by
voice or fax. A DSL filter splits data traffic from voice traffic and routes them separately.
Analog traffic (voice, and fax signals) is routed to the telephone or fax machine while the
digital data traffic is routed to the DSL modem. AT&T connects to a high-speed backbone
network using specialized DSL Access Multiplexers (“DSLAMs”).
AT&T High Speed Internet (“HSI”) Direct allows a Customer to connect to the
Internet without purchasing voice service. This alternative version does not
require a voice line or a DSL filter.
1.2 HSI Service Types
1.2.1 HSI Options with Required Voice Service
The types of HSI Service that AT&T offers which require a voice line are:

ADSL which is asymmetric data service to the Customer’s premises and is
provided over the voice telephone line at the End-User’s premises. The
downstream bandwidth (to the Customer from the network) is larger than the
upstream bandwidth (to the network from the Customer). The Customer eligibility
for these bandwidths depends upon the distance the user is from the Central
Office or Remote Terminal and the condition of the line.

SDSL is symmetric data service and is provided via a dedicated data line from
the End-Users premises to HSI Equipment located in a nearby Central Office.
The downstream bandwidth is equivalent to the upstream bandwidth and up to
416Kbps transfer rate in each direction. It is available only for Static IP service.
The maximum speed varies depending upon the distance of the Customer
location from the Central Office (where the phone line terminates) and the
condition of the line. The further the distance from the Central Office, the slower
the bandwidth and/or speed.
1.2.2 HSI Option without Voice Service
The type of HSI Service that AT&T offers that does not require a voice service on the line
is:

High Speed Internet Direct: This is an asymmetric (ADSL) data
service to the Customer’s premises that is provided over a line
without any telephone voice service to the End-User’s premises.
Customer eligibility for High Speed Internet Direct is the same as
ADSL with voice service.

Page 7 of 15
procedures and controls necessary to limit access to the Service and Customer will maintain
facilities and procedures external to the Service for reconstruction of lost or altered files, data or
programs.
Customer understands that AT&T will make commercially reasonable efforts to provision HSI.
However, provisioning of Service is contingent upon the availability of HSI capable local loops to
Customer’s location being made available to AT&T. If no such HSI-capable local loop is available
to AT&T, then Service will not be provisioned and if delivery of the local loop is delayed, then
provisioning of Customer’s Service will be delayed as well.
Customer understands that the actual bandwidth that can be delivered on an HSI capable loop
will not be determined until the time of service installation. The actual bandwidth may be different
than the estimated bandwidth provided to Customer by AT&T at the time of ordering the service.
The speeds quoted are maximum upload and download speeds and may vary during the Service
term.
Customer understands that even after the HSI circuit is provisioned and operational, certain
conditions may impact the quality and use of the line. With the self-installation option, actual loop
length is not known and may not be determined until the self installation is performed and a line
trouble occurs. In addition, environmental issues such as quality of the telephone line,
interference from other HSI connections, high frequency sources close to the telephone line, etc.
may deteriorate the quality or speed of the HSI circuit resulting in reduced throughput. AT&T will
undertake reasonable effort to restore the original quality or speed, but restoration is not
guaranteed and the line may be deemed technically not feasible. If the HSI circuit is deemed
technically not feasible, the customer will be asked to disconnect the circuit at no cost or without
penalty. If the Customer chooses to continue to use the circuit, after it is deemed technically not
feasible, Customer understands that the line will not be supported by AT&T from a maintenance
perspective.
Customer acknowledges that in the event of a trouble, Customer is responsible for on site
cooperative testing with AT&T Business HSI Customer Care to assist in the diagnosis of the
trouble.
Customer acknowledges that it may not permit, by action or omission, the sharing of any mailbox,
software, password or ID related to his account. Customer shall ensure that only the specific
individual that is authorized to register for a mailbox will use such mailbox.
9.0 HSI – Business Edition Level Agreements (“SLAs”)
9.1 General
AT&T will be the only party to determine (in its sole discretion) whether AT&T has not met
