Internet Services
Network Availability
tw telecom ("TVVTC")'s Internet Services will be available to Customer at least 99.99% of the time in a calendar month
("Network Availability") or Customer will receive service outage credits per the table below. A service outage causing
Network non-availability is defined as the inability to transmit and receive data due to a failure in TWTC's equipment or
network ("Service Outage"). Credits are based upon a percentage of the monthly recurring charge ("MRC") for the non-
performing Internet Service as follows:
Per Service Outage Percentage Credit
Up to 5 minutes (99.99% availability) No Credit
5 minutes up to 4 hours 5% of the MRC
4 hours up to 8 hours 10% of the MRC
8 hours up to 12 hours 15% of the MRC
12 hours up to 16 hours 20% of the MRC
16 hours up to 24 hours 35% of the MRC
24 hours or greater 50% of the MRC
Network Latency
TWTC's Internet Services will have an average round-trip transmission of 45 milliseconds ("ms") or less between TWTC
Internet points of presence ("POPs") in the forty-eight contiguous United States and an average round-trip transmission of
75 milliseconds or less between TWTC Internet POPs in the forty-eight contiguous states plus Hawaii ("Latency"). If
TWTC fails to meet the applicable Latency standard, credits will be calculated per the table below. Credits are based
upon a percentage of the MRC for the non-performing Intemet Service as follows:
48 Contiguous U.S. 48 Contiguous U.S. + Hawaii Credits
0.00 to 45.00 ms 0.00 to 75.00 ms No Credit
45.01 to 55.00 ms 75.01 to 85.00 ms 5% of the MRC

60.01 to 65.00 ms 90.01 to 95.00 ms 15% of the MRC
65.01 to 70.00 ms 95.01 to 100.00 ms 20% of the MRC
70.01 to 75.00 ms 100.01 to 105.00 ms 35% of the MRC

Packet Delivery
TWTC's Internet Services will have packet delivery of 99.9% or greater. Packet Delivery is determined by averaging
sample measurements taken during the most recent full calendar month between TWTC Internet POPs. If TWTC fails to
meet the applicable Packet Delivery objective, credits will be calculated per the table below. Credits are based upon a
percentage of the MRC for the non-performing Internet Service as follows:
Packet Delivery Credits
99.9% or greater No Credit
99.5% to 99.8% 5% of the MRC
99% to 99.4% 10% of the MRC
98% to 98.9% 15% of the MRC
97% to 97.9% 20% of the MRC
96% to 96.9% 35% of the MRC
Less than 96% 50% of the MRC
On-time Installation
For Internet Services provisioned completely on TWTC's Network, TWTC will complete installation within 12 business
days from the date the Service Order is received by TWTC's Provisioning Network Operations Center ("PNOC"). For Off-
net Services (provisioned through another provider), TWTC will complete installation within 12 business days from the
date the Service Order is received by the PNOC, plus the underlying provider's actual installation interval. If TWTC fails to
meet the installation interval, it will provide Customer with a 50% credit off the installation fee set forth in the applicable
Service Order.
General Terms Applicable to Service Level Agreement
Customer shall report problems with its Services by contacting TWTC's Customer & Network Reliability Center ("CNRC)
at 1-800-829-0420. TWTC will open a trouble ticket and provide a trouble ticket number for tracking purposes. For the
purpose of determining the applicable credit, a Service Outage begins when the Customer reports the Service Outage to
TWTC's CNRC and ends when the Service is restored. Credits are provided to Customer only upon request by
Customer. The resources, equipment and methodology used to measure service level metrics are determined by TWTC
in its sole discretion.
Service Outages and failures to meet the performance objectives herein do not include outages and failures caused by
the equipment, acts or omissions of Customer or its End Users, Force Majeure events, fiber cuts caused by third-parties,
failure of elements of the Internet outside of TWTC's control or outages occurring during scheduled or emergency
maintenance. Standard maintenance windows are based on the time zone of a city's location and are available at:
http://info.tvitelecom.net/info.php?id=1. The duration of a Service Outage does not include any time during which TWTC is
denied access to the premises necessary to restore the Service.
The remedies set forth in this service level agreement and in the Standard Terms and Conditions executed by Customer
(incorporated by this reference) are Customers sole and exclusive remedies if there are Service Outages and/or failures
to meet the performance objectives in this Service Level Agreement. Credits issued during any calendar month, for any
reason(s), will not exceed the MRC associated with the troubled Service.
