-- August 28, 2006 Email Received From MTI: Hi Peggy, Here are some recent PONs were the consecutive unit was unavailable and we encountered problems: pon provided-The typed FOC had the incorrect ECCKT information pon provided-The typed FOC had the incorrect ECCKT information pon provided-The typed FOC had the incorrect Due Date information The following 2 orders were to deliver 2 UBLs to the same address. What ending up happening is the PON numbers and the slot numbers were mixed up, so when we thought we had received 2 circuits, we had only received one. pon provided pon provided pon provided There are hundreds of other examples over the past few years, but these are some of the current ones. If you need further information, please contact me. Thank you, Julie Stearns Service Delivery Manager Mountain Telecommunications, Inc.

August 28, 2006 Email Sent to MTI: Hi Julie, Thank you for talking with us today. It would be very helpful if you would provide us with some PONs where this problem/edit caused you to fax orders into Qwest. We would like to look at the PONs in order to determine what exactly occurred and what was encountered. That data will give us a better idea as to what would need to be done for this request. I appreciate it. 3-5 PONs would be great. Thanks again, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Wholesale CMP
