Mean Time to Repair (MTTR): is the period of time commencing with the date and time the Customer first informs the Company of a circuit Service Outage (i.e. opens a "Trouble Ticket") and ending on the date and time that service on that circuit is restored.
Service Availability: Service Availability is the total number of minutes in a monthly billing period during which service on that circuit is available for use by the Customer, divided by the total number of minutes in that monthly billing period. For the purposes of this SLA, Service Availability will be calculated by taking into account the time between the initiation of a Trouble Ticket for a Service Outage and reductions in time for factors or conditions that are not the Company's service responsibility.

Service Installation: The Company guarantees installation of qualifying service within a Service Installation Period which does not exceed the longer of (i) the period specified for installation in the Customer order or (ii) the above listed number of days, excluding weekends and Company holidays, based on circuit type. If, at any time during the Service Installation Period, the Company ascertains that it lacks the facilities necessary to install service and so notifies the Customer, the Company will be relieved of any obligation to issue any SLA credits to the Customer with regard to the affected service.
