For Latency measurement purposes, OneFibre divides the network into zones, namely the Access Zone, the OneFibre Zone (OneFibre’s national IP network) and the 3nd zone called the “Public Internet Zone”. If the Access Zone is terminated at the Service Demarcation Point with a OneFibre Network Interface Device then OneFibre target that the round trip Latency

        between the Service Demarcation Point and a OneFibre Network Core Internet Router will be no greater than 30ms. If no such device is provided, then OneFibre target that the round trip Latency between the OneFibre Network PoP and a OneFibre Network Core Internet Router will be no greater than 50ms. If the Latency so identified is greater than the target, the Customer may claim re-imbursement up to 10% of the monthly rental for the relevant Connection, PROVIDED THAT in calculating the average round trip Latency there shall be deducted from such calculation any increase in the Latency as a result of the Customer’s breach of this Agreement, or a disruption to the power supply to the Equipment, or a disruption to the Internet Services caused by the Customer or the Customer’s own equipment, or a failure by the Customer to provide access to the Site and/or the Premises or as a result of an event of Force Majeure PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT OneFibre’s total aggregate liability to the Customer under this Service Level Agreement shall not exceed the sum of one year’s Annual Rental for the relevant Connection.

      2. The Latency between the OneFibre Network PoP (or the Service Demarcation Point if a Network Interface Device is provided) and the designated Core Internet Router will be monitored and reported to the Customer only if the Customer so requests, and OneFibre agrees to such monitoring taking place. OneFibre will agree to such a request once a Quarter, if necessary. The Latency will be calculated by averaging the Latency measurements recorded over a 60 minute period. Any compensation awarded to the Customer pursuant to this Agreement will be credited by OneFibre against the next following payment due from the Customer or if no payment is due it will be payable by OneFibre by cheque to the Customer at the end of the relevant monitoring Quarter.

      3. Latency on access ports below 10Mbps will be targeted for 64 byte frames only.

      4. In respect of a 3rd party circuit, OneFibre will be liable to the Customer for compensation for Latency to the extent only that a third party supplier is liable to OneFibre.

    3. Public Internet zone performance

      1. Latency target and Credits

        Public Internet Zone “Network Latency” refers to the period of time taken for an IP packet to travel between OneFibre upstream Tier 1 IP Transit provider’s nominated core internet nodes and back again (also referred to as RTT or Round Trip Time). OneFibre target average Network Latency between these nominated core nodes in the Public Internet Zone as identified in the table below not to exceed the following thresholds during a calendar month:

        Region Description

        Target average network latency (during a calendar month)

        Intra-Europe

        Averaged RTT across all links between – European Core Nodes 50 ms

        Europe-US*

        Averaged RTT between Europe and the US (the New York PoP) 250 ms

        Network Latency in the Public Internet Zone shall be demonstrated by OneFibre’s upstream transit providers based on averaging sample measurements taken during a calendar month.

        When the target is not met, the Customer shall be entitled to request a credit equal to the prorated charges for the affected Internet Services for two (2) days during the calendar month in which the Network Latency target was not achieved.

      2. Packet Loss Target and Credits

        OneFibre target that average packet loss between its nominated core internet nodes in the Public Internet Zone across the identified regions will not exceed the following thresholds during a calendar month:

        Region Description

        Target average network latency (during a calendar month)

        Intra-Europe

        Averaged packet loss across all links between Nominated Upstream Provider European core nodes 0.3 %

        Europe-US*

        Averaged packet loss between Nominated Upstream Provider Europe and the US (New York PoP) 0.3 %

        Packet loss shall be determined by the Nominated Upstream Provider based on averaging sample measurements taken during a calendar month. When the target is not met, the Customer shall be entitled to request a credit equal to the charges for the affected IP Service for two (2) days during the calendar month in which the packet loss target was not achieved.

    4. Changes in Bandwidth

      1. Subject to paragraph 2.4.5 the Customer may submit to OneFibre by email, a request for OneFibre to increase or decrease the bandwidth of any particular Connection (the “Capacity Change Request”).

      2. OneFibre will acknowledge the Capacity Change Request and confirm whether the bandwidth capacity is available to execute the Capacity Change Request. OneFibre will, subject to the capacity limits of any associated Tail Circuit, arrange for the appropriate increase or decrease in capacity to the Customer’s Connection.

      3. The target response time to vary the bandwidth is 24 hours from the OneFibre acknowledgement being sent to the Customer.

      4. The Customer’s invoice reflecting the change in bandwidth will be incorporated in the next invoice to be sent to the Customer following the relevant bandwidth change. The minimum duration of any Capacity Change Request will be one calendar month from the date of the change in bandwidth being effected.

      5. The Customer may not request a decrease of bandwidth below the Customer’s Initial Capacity Order.

      6. For the avoidance of doubt compensation is not payable if OneFibre does not meet the target time to vary the bandwidth set out in paragraph 2.4.3.

  3. Service Level for circuits connecting the Premises and/or Site to the OneFibre Network

    1. OneFibre target the Availability of a Connection it provides as part of the Internet Services from the Service Demarcation Point to the Public Internet to be at least 99.95%. The calculation used is based on the recorded number and duration of Service Affecting Faults per Connection within the Measurement Period.

    2. If the performance level of the Internet Services delivered to the Service Demarcation Point falls below the relevant supplier’s quoted % availability per annum, the Customer may claim compensation set out below PROVIDED THAT in calculating the Availability of a Connection there shall be deducted from such calculation if the Availability is disrupted as a result of a Planned Outage, the Customer’s breach of this Agreement, or a disruption to the power supply to the Equipment, or a disruption to the Internet Services caused by the

      Customer or the Customer’s own equipment, or a failure by the Customer to provide access to the Site and/or the Premises or as a result of an event of Force Majeure PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT OneFibre’s total aggregate liability to the Customer under this Service Level Agreement shall not exceed the sum of one year’s Annual Rental for the relevant Connection.

    3. In calculating the Availability of each Connection, any Service Affecting Fault attributable to the loss of service or failure in the operation of switches and/or routers supplied by OneFibre shall not be taken into account.

    4. The above compensation is calculated at the end of the Measurement Period and will be credited by OneFibre against the next following payment due from the Customer or if no payment is due, it will be payable by OneFibre by cheque to the Customer at the end of the next following Quarter. Compensation payable to the Customer for failure to meet Target Time to Repair shall be deducted from the above compensation payments if attributable to the same Fault.

    5. For the avoidance of doubt compensation is not payable for a Non Service Affecting Fault or for any service where a Target Time to Repair is not specified in the SOF.

      Connection Availability at end of Measurement Period

      Amount of Compensation

      0.01%-0.09% below quoted availability

      5% of annual rental of the affected Connection

      0.1%-0.34% below quoted availability

      7.5% of annual rental of the affected Connection

      0.35% or more below quoted availability

      10% of annual rental of the affected Connection

  4. Tail Circuits

    1. OneFibre’s liability for Target Time to Repair, circuit Availability, and Latency in respect of a 3rd party Tail Circuit will at no time better the published contractual liability of the third party supplier of such Tail Circuit.

    2. Following payment of compensation to OneFibre by the third party supplier, OneFibre will credit the Customer with the relevant compensation against the next following payment

      due from the Customer, or, if no further payments are due from the Customer, OneFibre will pay compensation by cheque to the Customer at the end of the next following Quarter.

  5. Outages/Re-routing

    1. In maintaining the Internet Services, OneFibre may with reasonable notice, request a Planned Outage or re-routing of the Internet Services. Wherever reasonably possible OneFibre will notify the Customer of the Planned Outage or re-routing at least 20 Working Days in advance and will co-operate with the Customer as to timing of the Planned Outage or re-routing. However, if OneFibre and the Customer cannot agree the timing of the Planned Outage and/or re-routing, then the decision by OneFibre shall be final. When notice of a Planned Outage and/or re-routing has been given to the Customer, the Customer will not be entitled to any compensation and lack of Availability will not be counted in any Measurement Period.

    2. If there is an Outage and/or re-routing that has not been previously notified to the Customer, this will be regarded as a Fault.

  6. Customer Responsible Faults

    1. OneFibre is not responsible for any Fault identified as attributable to the Premises, the Site, the Customer’s equipment, a breach of this Agreement by the Customer, a disruption in the Customer’s power supplies or the action or inaction of the Customer’s employees and/or agents or a failure of the Customer to provide access to the Site and/or the Premises. In such event OneFibre will quote its terms and conditions (including price) for any remedial work necessary for OneFibre to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement but the provisions relating to Target Time to Repair shall not apply and the lack of Availability will not be counted in any Measurement Period. In the event of responsibility being the subject of dispute between OneFibre and the Customer then the decision of OneFibre in this regard shall prevail.

  7. Third Party Attributable Faults

    1. If a Fault is identified as being attributable to a third party (i.e. neither the Customer nor OneFibre), the lack of Availability will not be counted in any Measurement Period. In such event OneFibre will use all reasonable endeavours to restore the Internet Services within the Target Time to Repair but will not be liable to pay the Customer compensation as a result of any Fault attributable to a third party.

  8. Cancellation of Service

    1. If the Customer cancels the order set out in the SOF prior to the Connection Ready for Service Date the Customer shall upon demand immediately pay to OneFibre the following; (i) all third party costs directly incurred in consequence of cancellation by the Customer; and (ii) the relevant Miscellaneous Charges listed in Schedule 2.

    2. Where an Installation Charge was not payable or it was discounted, OneFibre may at its sole discretion claim from the Customer reasonable costs (including but without limitation all third party costs) incurred as a result of such cancellation and the Customer shall become liable for payment of such costs forthwith. Where an Installation Charge was discounted the

      amounts claimed under this paragraph 8.2 shall be in addition to any sums claimed under paragraph 8.1.

    3. The above amounts are payable in addition to any termination payments due under this Agreement.

  9. Modification of the Internet Services

    1. If the Customer significantly modifies the order set out in the SOF (e.g. changes an address, point of presence or network presentation) prior to the Connection Ready for Service Date the Customer shall be liable to pay, in addition to the Installation Charge, the relevant Miscellaneous Charges set out in Schedule 2.

    2. Where an Installation Charge was not payable or it was discounted, OneFibre may at its sole discretion claim reasonable costs incurred as a result of the modification of the Internet Services and the Customer shall become liable for payment of such costs forthwith. Where an Installation Charge was discounted the amounts claimed under this paragraph 9.2 shall be in addition to any sums claimed under paragraph 9.1.

    3. Where the Customer modifies the order set out in the SOF, OneFibre will present the Customer with a revised installation charge (‘revised installation charge”).

    4. If such revised installation charge is LESS than the Installation Charge, the amount due under this paragraph 9 will be credited by OneFibre against the revised installation charge.

    5. If such revised installation charge is MORE than the Installation Charge, the amount due under this paragraph 9 will be added by OneFibre to the revised installation charge and shall be payable by the Customer in accordance with clause 12 of this Agreement.

    6. If the Customer modifies the order set out in the SOF by requesting a “Move and

      Change” for either the “A” end location and/or address and/or a “B” end location and/or address of a Connection and/or an increase/decrease in bandwidth for a Connection already installed by OneFibre, the Customer shall be liable to pay all relevant costs incurred by the relevant Move and Change. This paragraph shall apply to all Internet Services provided by OneFibre under the terms of this Agreement.
