General Product Overview

• Line Sharing also known as Shared Loop, provides
  you with the opportunity to offer end-users
  advanced data services over the existing copper
  loop that provides the end-user's analog
  voice-grade (Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS))
  service. This is done by using the frequency
  range above the voice band of the copper loop
  where Qwest provides voice service to the
  end-user. This frequency range is referred to as
  the High Frequency Spectrum Unbundled Network
  Element (HUNE).
• Line Splitting provides you with the opportunity
  to offer advanced data service simultaneously
  with an existing Unbundled Network Elements
  Platform (UNE-P) Plain Old Telephone service
  (POTS) by using the frequency range above the
  voice band on the copper loop. The advanced data
  service may be provided by the CLEC/DLEC or
  another service provider chosen by you.
• Loop Splitting provides the CLEC/DLEC with the
  opportunity to offer advanced data service
  simultaneously with an existing Unbundled Local
  Loop by using the frequency range above the voice
  band on the copper loop. The advanced data
  service may be provided by the CLEC/DLEC or
  another service provider chosen by you. For
  purposes of this web page CLEC will refer to the
  voice provider and DLEC to the advanced data
  service provider.

• Customers requiring detailed product training
