Description Of Change
Please improve CLEC access to the DSL pre-qualification information to reduce the number of error messages and give CLEC at least the same access to the same information as Qwest receives. Often, when Eschelon uses Qwest’s IMA-GUI loop pre-qualification tool, the result is indeterminate. Instead of a yes or no response, Eschelon receives an error message. For example, the error message may indicate that the address and telephone number did not match. When Eschelon then calls Qwest, Qwest is able to run the request and receive a yes or no answer, even though Qwest is using the same address and telephone information used by Eschelon. In some cases, the customer already has DSL (and wants to upgrade speed, etc.). Even though the customer already has DSL, Eschelon cannot get pre-qualification information using IMA-GUI. But, when Eschelon calls Qwest, Qwest is able to retrieve the information using its internal systems. Eschelon has been working with Qwest to try to resolve this issue. Recently, Qwest has indicated that the issue may be addressed in Release 9.0, which will not occur until the end of the year. That is too long to wait. Also, no documentation has been provided as to what changes will be made during Release 9.0 and whether any changes will fully address the issue.

Call Karen Clausen at Eschelon to discuss the fix going I for Mega Bit (Qwest DSL) Loop Qual and make sure that it addresses Eschelon’s concerns
