Fiber Leasing
Because special projects, such as video conferencing, require significant amounts of available fiber, ITC has established a fee-based fiber leasing service to departments. Fiber leasing is dependent on fiber availability. Rates were established based on cost experience over several years.
- Leasing is only available in special circumstances.
- Leases are available by annual contract.
- Maintenance for the leased line is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Diagnosis of network problems will be billed by the hour; current rate is $40 per hour.
- The department is responsible for repair charges for problems not related to the fiber.
- Time to repair is not guaranteed because of previous commitments, but an estimate of repair time will be given.
- Fiber connections between any two points are not guaranteed at all times, since, in the event of a shortage, ITC may need to temporarily take over a leased line.
