31801/ 15087 – Change DD’s in Verizon West on Loops Requiring Conditioning

Jurisdiction: Verizon – West

Description: This initiative will establish specific intervals on 2 Wire non-designed UNE loops that require conditioning. The new intervals impact ADSL, IDSL, SDSL, and ISDN Capable loops.

Details: Currently the process for provisioning ADSL, IDSL, SDSL, and ISDN Capable loops when conditioning is required results in the assignment of a DD (Due Date) that is too short. As a result these loop orders receive a jeopardy and the DD is moved out to accommodate the work order for the conditioning activity. The new specific intervals for 2W non-designed UNE loops that require conditioning are:  Texas - 10 business days  All other states - 11 business days.
