Frontier Telephone Companies INTERSTATE SERVICE GUIDE AND PRICELIST NO. 8 Original Title Page 1 ACCESS SERVICE Interstate Service Guide and Pricelist for Customers of Detariffed Access Services within the operating territories listed on the Title Pages LEGAL NOTICE The FRONTIER Interstate Service Guide and Price List (Guide) applies to the FRONTIER "Detariffed Services" (as defined below) and other telecommunications services that are set forth in this Service Guide. Detariffed Services, as described in this document, are interstate special access services for which tariffs were withdrawn pursuant to FCC Report and Order, FCC 17-43, released April 28, 2017. Beginning upon the effectiveness of the withdrawal of Detariffed Service tariffs, Detariffed Services will be subject to and provided pursuant to the rates, terms and conditions of this Service Guide, unless a separately executed service agreement between you and Frontier provides otherwise. Prospective customers wishing to purchase services at the rates, terms and conditions in the Service Guide may do so by initiating orders through the same processes used to order services from FRONTIER's interstate access tariffs. Service that is ordered without a separately executed service agreement between you and FRONTIER that applies to that order, will also be subject to the FRONTIER Interstate Access Service Agreement at https://wholesale.frontier.com/docs/wholesaledocs/frontier-interstate-access-service-agreement.pdf. The services described in the Service Guide may be available through negotiated agreements, which may include rates, terms or conditions more favorable to you than those in the Service Guide. Prospective customers wishing to purchase Service Guide services at rates, terms or conditions different from those described in the Service Guide and the applicable FRONTIER Interstate Access Service Agreement may contact their FRONTIER service representative or go to the FRONTIER website at https://wholesale.frontier.com/wholesale/access-services/interstate-service-guide.
