Points to remember-2mbps and above.

1) Tariff is given for Chargeable Distance 5 to 500 kms .

2) For Local leads 3 way charging principle applicable.

3) No additional charge for local lead if

Distance > 500 Kms

AND

Capacity / Bandwidth is 45 Mbps and above

4) When the circuit is provided on MLLN System NTU charge is

to be billed, if MLLN Modem is provided by BSNL

5) Modem rent Rs 10000/- per annum for 2Mbps V35/G703 type

and Rs.18000/- for 2Mbps Ethernet.

charged, if the system is provided by BSNL


High Speed Data Circuits N*64Mbps

Tariff for capacity ranging from 128 Kbps to 1 Mbps is

arrived at by multiplying the tariff for leased circuit of 64

Kbps by the Co-efficient given in the tariff letter; subject

to Maximum of respective distance slabs of 2 Mbps

rates.

NTU charges Rs.3500/- for 64Kbps and Rs.5000/-

N*64 (Contd..)

Limiting the charges to 2Mbps.

Eg: CD is 15 Kms and Speed=512kbps

64 kbps for 15 Kms=18463

512kbps for 15 Kms= 18463*4.8=88622

Rate for 2mbps for 15 Kms=33344

Hence the rate of 512kbps for 15 kms should be limited

to Rs.33344.

Time Dependent Bandwidth

MLLN system is capable of providing deferential

time dependent bandwidth on request

Minimum Period: One Month and in multiples

thereof

Minimum time per day: Six hours.

Bandwidth up-gradation shall be allowed. The

down-gradation is not permitted


Time Dependant Bandwidth - Tariff

(Difference in charges of two bandwidths per month)

x1.5 fixed) x hours per day (minimum 6 hours) /24.

Charges for period more than one month but less

than one year : In multiples of one month.

Charges for one year or more (at one time) :

(Monthly charges as per (i) above x number of

months) less 15% as discount. The period beyond

1 year shall be in multiples of complete month only.


Illustration

MLLN Circuit 300 Kms, 512 Kbps

Required higher bandwidth for 960 Kbps for 3 months, 6

hours daily

Charges for higher bandwidth

512 Kbps 4.8 times

960 Kbps 7.6 times

Difference in charges 2.8 times

Rate for 300 Kms MLLN for 64 Kbps = Rs.37,487

Additional charge Rs.37,487 x 2.8 x 1.5 x 6 x 3

State Wide Area Network (SWAN)

BSNL will provide OFC without any additional cost for

POPs which have an aggregated BW of minimum 10

Mbps (5x2 Mbps)

State Government has to give a commitment that it will

procure entire BW from BSNL for a period of 5 years.

Discount of 74% on main channel is allowed

Discount of Local Lead @ 30% is allowed on the total

local lead charges for SWAN projects

Discounts are allowed only if the State Government does

not charge for ROW

MPLS - VPN Service

MPLS is an acronym for Multi Protocol Label Switching

MPLS based VPNs reduce customer networking

complexity, costs and totally do away with the

requirement of in-house technical work force.

It is a cutting edge technology which offers data rates

that can be increased from 64kbps to 155 Mbps.

It provides absolute security through exclusive labeled

path for transacting business using this network

Billing Aspects

Circuits are billed annually in advance as per the annual billing cycle

of SSA.

Now customer can opt for quarterly billing of circuits as per order

dated 5.9.2001 and 18.11.2003

In respect of new customers opting for quarterly billing from 1st year

itself, undertaking for minimum period of hiring of the leased line for

one year to be obtained.

Since there is no integrated commercial and billing package for

leased circuits, monitoring of receipt of completed advice note is to

be ensured through maintaining of advice note registers. This will

avoid non billing of circuits.
