Dear Valued Customer: We're writing to inform you of a change to our SwitchNet 56® product offering. Pending approval of your State’s Public Utility Commission, no orders for new SwitchNet 56 lines will be accepted as of January 14, 2002. Customers using the service on a monthly basis may, however, continue to use it for a period of three years. For these customers, SwitchNet 56 will be discontinued on December 31, 2004. Qwest will continue to honor all SwitchNet 56 contractual agreements by making the service available to contracted customers for the length of the existing contract. Additions, rearrangements, changes or moves of existing installations for contracted customers will continue to be made where the required equipment and facilities are available.
