Wisconsin Service Level Agreement (SLA) between Level 3 Private Line Services and the customer ensures a high-quality, reliable, and secure communication network infrastructure. This agreement outlines the specific standards and performance metrics that Level 3 will adhere to while providing private line services to customers in the state of Wisconsin. The Wisconsin SLA defines various key aspects that both Level 3 and the customer must agree upon to ensure satisfactory service. These aspects include but are not limited to: 1. Availability: The SLA establishes the minimum acceptable uptime for the private line services. Level 3 guarantees a specified percentage of uptime, which ensures that customers have uninterrupted communication and connectivity to their network resources. 2. Latency: The SLA defines the maximum acceptable latency or delay in transmitting data across the private line network. This ensures that customers experience minimal delay in data transfer and real-time applications perform optimally. 3. Packet Loss: The SLA outlines the maximum allowable percentage of packet loss during data transmission. Level 3 commits to minimizing packet loss to maintain data integrity and overall network performance. 4. Jitter: The SLA establishes the acceptable range of jitters, which refers to the variation in delay experienced by data packets. Maintaining jitter within specified limits ensures consistent and predictable data delivery across the network. 5. Equivalence: This specific SLA type defines the commitment Level 3 makes to providing the same level of service across various private line connections within Wisconsin. It ensures uniform service quality, regardless of the specific location within the state. 6. Enhanced Support: Some SLA variations may provide additional support options beyond basic connectivity guarantees, such as faster response times, dedicated technical assistance, or priority ticket handling. These options can be tailored to meet the unique needs of the customer, allowing for more personalized and proactive support. The specific terms and conditions of the Wisconsin SLA may vary depending on the customer's requirements, network architecture, and specific private line service package chosen. Customers are encouraged to review the SLA thoroughly to understand the commitments, remedies, and potential consequences associated with any service discrepancies. It is essential for both Level 3 and the customer to maintain open lines of communication to promptly address any service-related concerns, initiate troubleshooting efforts, and resolve potential issues in accordance with the agreed SLA terms.
