INTRODUCING THE NEW AUSTPAC STANDARD TARIFF
|
||
---------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. Introduction
|
||
---------------
|
||
This message outlines the new AUSTPAC Standard tariff that was
|
||
introduced on 1 July 1991. Prices are outlined in this bulletin.
|
||
|
||
Briefly, the key features of the new tariff are:
|
||
|
||
. zone based charges for dedicated access
|
||
|
||
. abolition of time charges for dedicated access(A)!
|
||
|
||
. volume cap on dedicated usage(B)!
|
||
|
||
. dial-up time charges differentiated on a metro/country basis.
|
||
|
||
|
||
The charging zones are as follows:
|
||
|
||
Metropolitan - Charging in the Metro zone includes two categories,
|
||
they are:
|
||
|
||
* The local telephone districts of ALL Capital Cities
|
||
including Townsville and Karratha
|
||
|
||
* Local telephone zone of major regional cities
|
||
such as Geelong, Newscastle, Wollongong,
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
For example Dubbo, Morwell, etc

||
|
||

|
||
of these.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
AUSTPAC TARIFF PACKAGES
|
||
-------------------------
|
||
|
||
Standard Package
|
||
|
||
This package offers volume capping for dedicated line usage.
|
||
|
||
Most customers will use the standard package,however, AUSTPAC also offers
|
||
two optional Tariff Packages they are:
|
||
|
||
|
||
(1) Corporate Package
|
||
|
||
This package offers a flat (no usage) charging structure for
|
||
'intra-company' communications in a Virtual Private Network.
|
||
|
||
|
||
(2) Value Added Services (VAS) Package
|
||
|
||
The VAS Package offers volume discounts on usage for both Dedicated
|
||
and Dial-Up access. Discounts on volume include reverse charged calls.
|
||
|
||
|
||
These packages offer charging flexibility and allow you to choose
|
||
a charging option which best suits your needs.
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
Representative or Telecom's Consultancy and Information Centre

AUSTPAC TARIFFS--- SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED
|
||
------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
2. Charging and Billing Details
|
||
-------------------------------
|
||
|
||
The charging principles of AUSTPAC Standard include four major
|
||
components.
|
||
They are:
|
||
|
||
. Installation
|
||
|
||
. Access
|
||
|
||
. Usage
|
||
|
||
. Facilities
|
||
|
||
The following summarises the charging structure and procedures to
|
||
apply for each.
|
||
|
||
2.1 Installation - Dedicated
|
||
----------------------------
|
||
|
||
Installation is differentiated on a Metropolitan, Country and
|
||
Out of Area basis.
|
||
|
||
Installation is a once only charge and will be billed in full.
|
||
|
||
|
||
2.2 Access - Dedicated
|
||
----------------------
|
||
|
||
Like installation, zone based annual recurring charges apply.
|
||
Dedicated access is normally billed on a monthly basis.
|
||
|
||
2.3 Access - Dial-UP
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
Network User Identification (NUI)
|
||
|
||
The method of identifying users accessing AUSTPAC via the Public
|
||
Switched Telephone Network is the assignment of Network User
|
||
Identifiers (NUIs).
|
||
|
||
In brief, an NUI is in effect a password which enables a caller to
|
||
be identified.
|
||
|
||
There is no installation fee for an NUI, but there is an annual
|
||
recurring charge which is billed quarterly.
|
||
|
||
|
||
2.4.1 Usage - Dedicated
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
Dedicated Usage will consist of volume charges only as time charging
|
||
has been eliminated to simplify the tariff. Business and After Hour charging
|
||
|
||
still applies.Volume is capped so that charges cannot exceed a certain
|
||
amount each month.
|
||
|
||
|
||
2.4.2 Usage - PSTN/Dial-Up
|
||
--------------------------
|
||
|
||
Connect time charges apply for the amount of time terminals are connected
|
||
to AUSTPAC, these are differentiated for Metro. and Country zones.
|
||
The zones equate to dedicated zones, however Country also includes
|
||
Out of Area locations.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Standard volume charges will also apply but will not incur a monthly
|
||
volume cap.
|
||
|
||
2.5 Facility Charges

||

|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
The following information will clarify any issues relating to X32 tarrifs.
|
||
|
||
There are four components of charging for Dial-up services they are:
|
||
|
||
1. Connect Time - amount of time connected to AUSTPAC
|
||
|
||
|
||
Call Type Zone Bus Hrs After Hrs
|
||
(per hr) (per hr)

||
|
||
|
||

|
||

||
|
||

|
||

||
|
||

|
||

||
2. Usage - amount of volume transmitted measured in segments
|
||
3. Local Call Fee - billed on telephone account , currently $0.25
|
||
4. Unit Call Fee- for dial out calls, charged on AUSTPAC account, currently

Reverse Charging
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
A host offering reverse charging acceptance will only receive the volume cap
|
||
|
||
on non reversed charged calls. That is,reverse charge calls are calculated
|
||
at the normal usage rate, including PSTN time charges where applicable.
|
||
|
||
