Line 510 - Descriution of Comuliance with Service Oualitv Standards and Consumer Protection:

The Frontier ILEC companies certify that they comply with applicable state and FCC service quality standards. Service quality metrics are monitored and reported on a monthly basis. Frontier has implemented numerous Consumer Protection measures to protect customer information from improper use and disclosure as well as to protect against fraud. For example, Frontier has implemented Customer Proprietary Network Information (policies and procedures) that are consistent with the FCC's regulations. Frontier regularly trains employees who have access to CPNI on the rules and our procedures for securing accounts and authenticating callers. Frontier also has a comprehensive Identity Theft Protection Program (or Red Flag program) which is consistent with the FTC's guidance on measures to detect and prevent identity theft. All employees are trained on Frontier's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which requires employees to protect sensitive customer information from improper use and disclosure. Frontier also has a Data Privacy and Security policy which applies to all employees. Further, Frontier also has implemented a strict third-party qualification protocol to prevent unauthorized charges ("Cramming") from appearing on customer's bills. Frontier also follows a "First Call" resolution policy, which aims to resolve customer complaints about unauthorized charges in one call, without referral to any third party. In addition to the foregoing, Frontier, has implemented customary IT security measures to protect our network and customer information. REDACTED FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION

Line 610 - DescriPtion of Functionalitv in Emeraencv Situations

The Frontier ILEC companies certify that they follow best practices that are designed to allow them to remain functional in an emergency situation through the use of back-up power to ensure functionality in the event of a limited commercial power failure. Frontier‘s policy is that at sites where there is a generator, it will also have batteries capable of providing three-to-four hours of backup power. Sites that are provisioned to allow portable generators typically have up to eight hours of battery backup power available. Frontier adheres to formal maintenance and testing schedules of batteries and generators based on the GTE practices, the Bell standard and manufacturer standards. Batteries are load tested routinely. On site generators are tested monthly with an annual “blackout” test also incorporated. Routine maintenance occurs regularly throughout the year. Portable generators are load tested once a year along with performing the manufacturer recommended maintenance.

The companies’ network is engineered to provide maximum capacity in order to handle excess traffic in the event of traffic spikes resulting from emergency situations. Carrier audits its circuits in order to provide redundancy in its network where feasible for use in re-rerouting traffic when facilities are damaged. REDACTED FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION

Further, Frontier also has implemented a strict third-party qualification protocol to prevent unauthorized charges (“Cramming”) from appearing on customer’s bills.

In addition to the foregoing, Frontier, has implemented customary IT security measures to protect our network and customer information. REDACTED FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION

The Frontier ILEC companies certify that they follow best practices that are designed to allow them to remain functional in an emergency situation through the use of back-up power to ensure functionality in the event of a limited commercial power failure. Frontier‘s policy is that at sites where there is a generator, it will also have batteries capable of providing three-to-four hours of backup power. Sites that are provisioned to allow portable generators typically have up to eight hours of battery backup power available. Frontier adheres to formal maintenance and testing schedules of batteries and generators based on the GTE practices, the Bell standard and manufacturer standards. Batteries are load tested routinely. On site generators are tested monthly with an annual “blackout” test also incorporated. Routine maintenance occurs regularly throughout the year. Portable generators are load tested once a year along with performing the manufacturer recommended maintenance.

The companies’ network is engineered to provide maximum capacity in order to handle excess traffic in the event of traffic spikes resulting from emergency situations. Carrier audits its circuits in order to provide redundancy in its network where feasible for use in re-rerouting traffic when facilities are damaged. REDACTED FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION

Line 510 - DescriDtion of ComDliance with Service Oualitv Standards and Consumer Protection:

The Frontier ILEC companies certify that they comply with applicable state and FCC service quality standards, Service quality metrics are monitored and reported on a monthly basis. Frontier has implemented numerous Consumer Protection measures to protect customer information from improper use and disclosure as well as to protect against fraud. For example, Frontier has implemented Customer Proprietary Network Information (policies and procedures) that are consistent with the FCC‘s regulations. Frontier regularly trains employees who have access to CPNI on the rules and our procedures for securing accounts and authenticating callers. Frontier also has a comprehensive Identity Theft Protection Program (or Red Flag program) which is consistent with the FTC‘s guidance on measures to detect and prevent identity theft. All employees are trained on Frontier’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which requires employees to protect sensitive customer information from improper use and disclosure. Frontier also has a Data Privacy and Security policy which applies to all employees. Further, Frontier also has implemented a strict third-party qualification protocol to prevent unauthorized charges (“Cramming”) from appearing on customer’s bills. Frontier also follows a “First Call” resolution policy, which aims to resolve customer complaints about unauthorized charges in one call, without referral to any third party. In addition to the foregoing, Frontier, has implemented customary TT security measures to protect our network and customer information. REDACTED FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION

Line 610 - DescriPtion of Functionality in Emeraencv Situations

The Frontier ILEC companies certify that they follow best practices that are designed to allow them to remain functional in an emergency situation through the use of back-up power to ensure functionality in the event of a limited commercial power failure. Frontier’s policy is that at sites where there is a generator, it will also have batteries capable of providing three-to-four hours of backup power. Sites that are provisioned to allow portable generators typically have up to eight hours of battery backup power available. Frontier adheres to formal maintenance and testing schedules of batteries and generators based on the GTE practices, the Bell standard and manufacturer standards. Batteries are load tested routinely. On site generators are tested monthly with an annual “blackout” test also incorporated. Routine maintenance occurs regularly throughout the year. Portable generators are load tested once a year along with performing the manufacturer recommended maintenance.

The companies’ network is engineered to provide maximum capacity in order to handle excess traffic in the event of traffic spikes resulting from emergency situations. Carrier audits its circuits in order to provide redundancy in its network where feasible for use in re-rerouting traffic when facilities are damaged. REDACTED FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION

Line 510 - DescriDtion of ComDliance with Service Oualitv Standards and Consumer Protection:

The Frontier ILEC companies certify that they comply with applicable state and FCC service quality standards. Service quality metrics are monitored and reported on a monthly basis. Frontier has implemented numerous Consumer Protection measures to protect customer information from improper use and disclosure as well as to protect against fraud. For example, Frontier has implemented Customer Proprietary Network Information (policies and procedures) that are consistent with the FCC’s regulations. Frontier regularly trains employees who have access to CPNI on the rules and our procedures for securing accounts and authenticating callers. Frontier also has a comprehensive Identity Theft Protection Program (or Red Flag program) which is consistent with the FTCs guidance on measures to detect and prevent identity theft. All employees are trained on Frontier’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which requires employees to protect sensitive customer information from improper use and disclosure. Frontier also has a Data Privacy and Security policy which applies to all employees. Further, Frontier also has implemented a strict third-party qualification protocol to prevent unauthorized charges (“Cramming”) from appearing on customer‘s bills. Frontier also follows a ‘First Call” resolution policy, which aims to resolve customer complaints about unauthorized charges in one call, without referral to any third party. In addition to the foregoing, Frontier, has implemented customary IT security measures to protect our network and customer information. REDACTED FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION

Line 610 - DescriDtion of Functionalitv in Emeraencv Situations

The Frontier ILEC companies certify that they follow best practices that are designed to allow them to remain functional in an emergency situation through the use of back-up power to ensure functionality in the event of a limited commercial power failure. Frontier’s policy is that at sites where there is a generator, it will also have batteries capable of providing three-to-four hours of backup power. Sites that are provisioned to allow portable generators typically have up to eight hours of battery backup power available. Frontier adheres to formal maintenance and testing schedules of batteries and generators based on the GTE practices, the Bell standard and manufacturer standards. Batteries are load tested routinely. On site generators are tested monthly with an annual “blackout” test also incorporated. Routine maintenance occurs regularly throughout the year. Portable generators are load tested once a year along with performing the manufacturer recommended maintenance.

The companies’ network is engineered to provide maximum capacity in order to handle excess traffic in the event of traffic spikes resulting from emergency situations. Carrier audits its circuits in order to provide redundancy in its network where feasjble for use in re-rerouting traffic when facilities are damaged. REDACTED FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION
