Disclosure of Broadband Internet Access Service Network Management Practices, Performance and Commercial Terms

Introductory Note

This disclosure applies solely to the broadband services offered by Coalfields Telephone Company (CTC) on a standardized basis to residential customers, small businesses and other end-user customers. This disclosure does not apply to any other broadband service (e.g., specialized or enterprise services) or to any dial-up Internet access service. CTC may revise this disclosure from time to time without notice by posting a new version of this disclosure on the CTC website at http://www.coalfields.net/legal/. Accordingly, users of CTC’s Internet access services should consult this document regularly to ensure that they remain aware of changes to the practices described in this disclosure. In the event of a conflict between any subscriber agreement or the Acceptable Use Policy and this disclosure, the terms of the subscriber agreement or Acceptable Use Policy shall govern. This disclosure does not create enforceable rights in the subscriber or any third party edge provider.

Introduction to Our Broadband Services
Coalfields Telephone Company (CTC) operates a robust and modern ip based network, which spans portions of Eastern Kentucky. CTC provides several services over this ip network including Voice and Broadband Internet Access. CTC contracts with Mikrotec Internet and the East Kentucky Network for access to the outside world via redundant fiber optic rings, then peering with major internet providers in Lexington, KY.

Core Network Overview
CTC utilizes a 10Gig core network to transport all broadband services to the rest of the world. No prioritization or discrimination of forwarding traffic is performed, either within a service type or between service categories.
Distribution Network Overview

CTC utilizes 1Gig distribution switches to transport broadband services. No prioritization or discrimination of forwarding traffic is performed, either within a service type or between service categories.

Access Network Overview

CTC operates 2 access networks with only 1 service type, Broadband Internet.
• An ADSL network which utilizes Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) for the last mile loop.
• This is the legacy network, which is being overbuilt by our ethernet access network.
• This network transports strictly broadband internet and performs no prioritization or discrimination of forwarding traffic.
• Available Bandwidth packages available range from 256Kbit to 4Mbit download speeds.

An ADSL2+ network which utilizes Ethernet and Virtual LAN technologies for the last mile loop.
• This network transports strictly broadband internet and performs no prioritization or discrimination of forwarding traffic.
• Available bBandwidth packages available range from 256Kbit to 6Mbit download speeds.

Network Edge Overview

Currently CTC contracts with Mikrotec Internet Services (MIS) and the East Kentucky Network (EKN) to fulfill its edge network requirements:
• EKN provides a 10G redundant fiber optic loop from our Harold location to EKN’s facility in Winchester KY.
• MIS provides a 10G redundant fiber optic loop from EKN’s Winchester facility to MIS’s Lexington facility.

General Network Principles

CTC, as much as reasonably possible, designs and operates its network based off on the following guiding principals:
• For security purposes network traffic is categorized into discreet service types via separate VLAN segments. Specifically this references segmenting management traffic from broadband internet traffic.
• All subscriber broadband Internet packages should be provisioned slightly larger than advertised to allow for protocol overhead so that the customers expectations are exceeded whenever possible.
• Maintaining the security of the network is a top priority and, to this end, we implement commonly accepted security best practices subject to cost and technical considerations.

Network Practices

Congestion Management Practices
While CTC does not currently utilize any form of congestion management. CTC may in the future use various tools and techniques to manage its network, deliver its service, and ensure compliance with the Acceptable Use Policy available at http://www.coalfields.net/legal/aup. These tools and techniques may be dynamic, like the network and its usage, and may change frequently. For example, these network management activities may include identifying spam and preventing its delivery to customer email accounts, detecting malicious Internet traffic and preventing the distribution of viruses or other harmful code or content and using other tools and techniques that CTC may implement in order to meet its goal of delivering a high quality broadband Internet experience to its customers.

Non-Discrimination Practices
CTC does not currently have any policy in place theat would prefer one type of Broadband Internet traffic, protocol, provider, service, application, or site over another. Subject to the AUP and the security practices listed below, the customer is free to choose any device type, protocol, service, provider, application, etc., without experiencing any type of service degradation or slow down. CTC reserves the right (but does not undertake the responsibility) to block or degrade content, applications and services that are unlawful, that may violate the rights of third parties (e.g., copyright infringement) or that may pose a harm to our network or other customers.

Device Attachment Rules
CTC does not restrict what types of devices are eligible to connect to our network, however we can only provide direct end user support for devices for which we are familiar. In addition all attached devices must be capable of making a valid access request (DHCP). At each DSL modem we provide a single ethernet port for Broadband Internet and if a customer wishes to use multiple devices, the customer will need to provide their own router, which will provide NAT. For residential service, each cable modem customer is dynamically assigned a single public IPv4 address. For commercial service, multiple IPs are available if needed. CTC reserves the right (but does not undertake the responsibility) to prohibit devices that may pose a harm to our network or other customers.

Security Practices

In an effort to maintain the security of the CTC network and our subscribers as well as to abide by good Internet Citizenship, CTC utilizes the following listed security practices, which affect forwarded traffic delivered to our subscribers. In addition to this list, CTC utilizes multiple other mechanisms to promote the Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability of the CTC network,; however, only those having a direct bearing on customer forwarded traffic are listed here.

Access Network
• In order to assist in the world wide fight against unsolicited commercial email (SPAM), commonly accepted network practices dictate that ISP’s block outbound traffic destined for the SMTP service (port 25). This doesn’t preclude a customer from being able to run a mail server at their site, but does require a simple change to the normal configuration, i.e. using our mail server as a smart relay host.
• Only traffic destined for a valid IP/mac address pairing is terminated to a subscriber,; broadcast flooded traffic is not delivered to the end user.
• DHCP broadcast requests destined to UDP port 67 (attempting to connect to a DHCP server) are not permitted to terminate to a subscriber end point.
• Traffic entering our access network sourced from RFC1918 address space is denied.
• In the event of malicious activity, CTC may implement a temporary block at this network level restricting traffic, which may be harmful to the network as a whole. If such activity is necessary, the affected customer(s) would be contacted and worked with in an effort to remove the underlying threat.
• CTC collects performance characteristics in the aggregate at thise net level (link level utilization), which allows us to proactively plan in advance proper network scaling.
• If needed, when working with a subscriber to troubleshoot a problem, properly trained staff within CTC may perform real time traffic analysis of subscriber traffic.

Distribution Network
• In the event of malicious activity, CTC may implement a temporary block at this network level restricting traffic, which may be harmful to the network as a whole. If such activity is necessary, the affected customer(s) would be contacted and worked with in an effort to remove the underlying threat.
• CTC collects performance characteristics in the aggregate at this level (link level utilization), which allows us to proactively plan in advance proper network scaling.
• If needed, when working with a subscriber to troubleshoot a problem, properly trained staff within CTC may perform real time traffic analysis of subscriber traffic.

Core Network
• In the event of malicious activity, CTC may implement a temporary block at this network level restricting traffic, which may be harmful to the network as a whole. If such activity is necessary, the affected customer(s) would be contacted and worked with in an effort to remove the underlying threat.
• CTC collects performance characteristics in the aggregate at this level (link level utilization), which allows us to proactively plan in advance proper network scaling.
• If needed, when working with a subscriber to troubleshoot a problem, properly trained staff within CTC may perform real time traffic analysis of subscriber traffic.

Edge Network
• In the event of malicious activity, CTC may implement a temporary block at this network level restricting traffic, which may be harmful to the network as a whole. If such activity is necessary, the affected customer(s) would be contacted and worked with in an effort to remove the underlying threat.
• CTC collects performance characteristics in the aggregate at this level (link level utilization), which allows us to proactively plan in advance proper network scaling.
• CTC collects netflow data on all external traffic flows to better understand network attacks.
• If needed, when working with a subscriber to troubleshoot a problem, properly trained staff within CTC may perform real time traffic analysis of subscriber traffic.
• Traffic entering our network edge from the external side, sourced from an IP address within one of our network ranges is denied.
• Traffic traversing our network edge sourced from RFC1918 address space is denied.
• Traffic traversing our network edge sourced from loopback, link local or ‘this’ address (as defined in RFC 3330) is denied.

Performance Characteristics

Service Description
1. CTC provides an ADSL2+ based DSL modem service. Data rates are available from 256k to 6Mbps depending on service needs. Our DSL service is based on a “best effort” technology. That means that all advertised speeds are an “up to” rating and is not a committed information rate.

2. The “actual” speed that a customer will experience while using the Internet depends upon a variety of conditions, many of which are beyond the control of an ISP such as CTC. These conditions include:
• Performance of a customer’s computer, including its age, processing capability, its operating system, the number of applications running simultaneously, and the presence of any adware and viruses.
• Type of connection between a customer’s computer and modem. For example, wireless connections may be slower than direct connections into a router or modem. Wireless connections also may be subject to greater fluctuations, interference and congestion. CTC does not recommend wireless modem connections for use with its higher speed tiers as many wireless connections do not perform at the speeds delivered by these tiers.
• The distance packets travel (round trip time of packets) between a customer’s computer and its final destination on the Internet, including the number and quality of the networks of various operators in the transmission path. The Internet is a “network of networks.” A customer’s connection may traverse the networks of multiple providers before reaching its destination, and the limitations of those networks will most likely affect the overall speed of that Internet connection.
• Congestion or high usage levels at the website or destination limit speed. If a large number of visitors are accessing a site or particular destination at the same time, your connection will be affected if the site or destination does not have sufficient capacity to serve all of the visitors efficiently.
• Gating of speeds or access by the website or destination limit speed. In order to control traffic or performance, many websites limit the speeds at which a visitor can download from their site. Those limitations will carry through to a customer’s connection.

For these reasons, CTC, like all other ISPs, advertises speeds as “up to” a particular level, and does not guarantee them.
• The customer premises is supplied one 10/100 meg ethernet port.
• Data obtained from our sampling of a hosted speedtest.net server has shown that our average performance speeds for the period from 08/01/2011 through 11/11/2011, including all customer locations and packages, were as follows (peak time is from 7:00pm until 11:00pm):
• Overall Download 3.32Mbps
• Overall Upload 451Kbps
• Overall Latency 29ms
• Peak Download 2.89Mbps
• Peak Upload 426Kbps
• Peak Latency 34ms

Impact of Specialized Services
• CTC does not currently offer any specialized network services that would negatively impact the last mile capacity or the performance of broadband internet access service.

Coalfields Telephone Company’s demonstration of ability to function in emergency situations for voice and broadband services:

Coalfields Telephone Company (“Company”) hereby certifies that it is able to function in emergency situations as set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47, Part 54, Subpart C, §54.202(a)(2)1 and the Kentucky Administrative Regulations (KAR), 807 5:061, Section 24. The Company’s network is designed to remain functional in emergency situations without an external power source, is able to reroute traffic around damaged facilities, and is capable of managing traffic spikes resulting from emergency situations as required by Section 54.202(a)(2). The Company can change call routing translations as needed to reroute traffic around damaged facilities. Changing call routing translations will also allow the Company to manage traffic spikes throughout its network, as emergency situations require.

Specifically, Coalfields Telephone Company in accordance with 807 KAR 5:061. Telephone, Section 24, has a written plan in place to meet service emergencies resulting from failures of power service, sudden and prolonged increase in traffic, fire, storm, or acts of God, and has trained employees on emergency procedure. Each central office building is supplied with standby generators and battery back-up that enable the central office to keep running for at least the minimum of four (4) hours, or until system changes are made to reroute traffic. The Company has battery backup at all office locations and in its electronic equipment sites in accordance with the specifications identified in Section 24 of the 807 KAR, 5:061, Emergency Operations.

The company’s standby generators and battery back-up support both voice and broadband network equipment should an emergency situation occur.

Definition
Illegal Robocalls are calls generated by autodialers for commercial purposes without the permission of the called party. These calls may be from a recorded voice or be auto transferred to a live agent; they will often appear from a disguised number; and they will either claim a pre-existing business relationship (“car warranty” or “Microsoft refund”) or disguise their commercial intent with false claims of fraudulent activity (“IRS notice” or “Amazon account hack”).

Robocalls for non-commercial reasons (school closings, political notices, for example) or for commercial reasons with the telephone owner’s prior consent (utility bill payment or appointment reminders, for example) are legal and permitted.

Screening of Use of Service – New Orders
To mitigate illegal robocalling, we will screen new service requests:
• We will not deploy large volume calling capability as a residential service or at an address shown in the company records as being residential
• Business requesting large volume calling capability must provide a tax ID and verification as to the nature of the business
• We verify addresses to look for overlapping / multiple deployed voice path subscriptions
• A company representative may visit the premise of the business to verify the number of users at the location is appropriate for the volume of calling paths requested

Screening of Use of Service – Existing Customers
We will monitor usage of our network to look for flags that suggest illegal robocalling is occurring and investigate as warranted. If notified by a third party that suspected illegal robocalling is occurring within our network, will investigate such complaints. Any such investigations will be at our sole discretion.

During the course of investigating any such complaints we may be required to review your calling patterns and release information about your calls or your service to third parties as required and permitted by law.

Investigation and Resolution of Illegal Robocalling
We are permitted but not required to investigate any claims of illegal robocalling in whatever manner we believe is appropriate based on the nature of the claim. Such investigation may include contacting the alleged robocaller to review and resolve, if possible, the complaint. If we are unable to resolve the complaint or you fail to respond to us, we may suspend or terminate your service with or without advanced notice. AT OUR SOLE DISCRETION, WE MAY CHOOSE TO REFUSE SERVICES THAT WE BELIEVE MAY BE USED FOR ILLEGAL ROBOCALLING.
