NOTE 34 FRAME EXPRESS

FrameExpress is a streamlined version of the X.25 packet switching system that has been designed to increase network speed with low network delays and effective utilization.

NOTE 34a The FrameExpress tariff structure comprises of 2 elements. These are monthly port charges and the flat rate Committed Information Rate (CIR) prices based on the port speed and the CIR purchased by the customer.

Port charges:

The maximum port speed of FrameExpress has been lowered to 1984Kbit/s. The port speed cannot be higher than the maximum speed of the access circuit. Each port speed has a minimum and a maximum CIR where the maximum will also be equal to the maximum speed of the port except for 1984 kb/s. When a 1984 kb/s port is rented, the maximum speed that is guaranteed, is the same as for 1024 kb/s. A customer renting a 1984 kb/s port can however operate at speeds ranging from the minimum speed up to speeds beyond the maximum speed guaranteed for the port when the network is not handling a full load.

Flat rate CIR:

The flat rate CIR prices have replaced the packet count charge that was traffic based. With the flat rate CIR prices the customer can have unlimited usage when the network is not busy but Telkom will only guarantee a CIR equal to the CIR price the customer is paying for when the network is busy. Higher CIR's can be purchased in allotments of 8 Kb/s. A new CIR flat rate prices have been added that is the only exception where the allotments of 8 Kb/s is not applicable.

NOTE 34b The circuit charges for access to FrameExpress are not included in the port charges. The Digital Access to FrameExpress prices are therefore applicable and must be applied over and above the port and CIR prices.

FrameExpress Diginet-Plus access speed

Although the maximum port speed for FrameExpress has been lowered to 1984Kbit/s, the Diginet-Plus access speed must remain at 2048Kbit/s to allow for management on the Diginet circuit. The management is absolutely essential to reduce data errors on FrameExpress to a minimum.

NOTE 34c Up to five Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVC's) can be configured on each FrameExpress port. No additional fees are charged for the configuration of PVC's.

NOTE 34d When PVCs need to be reconfigured or multiple configurations are needed, the current fee under Item A2.11.1 d (i) applies for every 5 configurations per occasion. Should a sixth configuration be necessary on the same occasion, the fee is charged again for the sixth configuration or any number of configurations between 6 and 10.

NOTE 35 AFTER-HOURS REPAIR SERVICE

NOTE 35a No charges are levied for after-hours repairs. The details of whether after-hours repairs should also be done in the case of party line services etc. is left to the discretion of regional offices.

After-hours repair service is rendered during the following hours:

Week-ends : From 17:00 on Fridays until 07:30 on Monday mornings
Public Holiday : From 17:00 on the preceding workday until 07:30 the next workday.

NOTE 41 MEGALINES AND ATM EXPRESS

NOTE 41a Pure Megaline and Megaline-Plus Bronze services may no longer be provided as new services. The "Silver" attribute has been removed from the Megaline Plus name. Only Megaline Plus services are offered as new services. Megaline-Plus services are enhanced Constant Bit Rate (CBR) broadband services. These services enable broadband (2M/bits or higher bandwidth) applications using Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switching and statistical multiplexing through the Telkom national network. ATM transports units of information in fixed length cells and supports wide area network applications consisting of data, video, voice and imaging over a single broadband access facility.

Megaline-Plus provides current Megaline customers with the benefits of new technology through Telkom's national ATM network. Customers will receive these benefits and improvements in service reliability on the main link portion of their service.

Megaline Plus is a further service enhancement using ATM switching to allow the addition or change of end locations, with customer selected priorities on an application by application basis. Both Megaline Plus and Megaline Plus provide guaranteed CBR speeds (2 M/bits, 34 M/bits & 140 M/bits) between the customer's end locations.

Note 41b Should a customer need a Megaline service for a period of less than a year and is unwilling to enter into a one year agreement, the higher price is available to accommodate his needs of less than a year.

Note 41c ATM Express

The "Silver" attribute has been removed from the ATM Express name. ATM Express services are Variable Bit Rate (VBR) services that provide scalable bandwidth speeds higher than 2 M/bits using Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switching. These services allow access to the extra bandwidth speeds (M/bits), when there is space on the link and are variable from a guaranteed minimum speed up to a specified limit.

ATM Express Standard (Old Bronze) is provided only at a 2M/bits bandwidth speed. ATM Express is provided as a total service solution up to and including the customer's premises. ATM Express enables bandwidth speeds of 2 M/bits, 34 M/bits, 140 M/bits and 10 BT. The service has a re-routing capability that can switch the connections automatically if failures occur on links

NOTE 41d Due to cost implications, temporary services cannot be provided on 34Mbit/s and 140/155Mbit/s.

NOTE 42 TELKOM INTERNET

NOTE 42a The two 64k/bit channels are combined in one 128k/bit channel. Telephone calls are double the price. The ISP will guide the customer how to convert to 128 k/bits and what equipment etc. is required.
