telephone service", "voice-grade equivalent", "end user", "residential lines", "presubscribed interstate long distance carrier", "own local loop facilities", and "UNE-Platform".
If in Part II you report voice-grade equivalent lines or voice-grade equivalent wireless channels for service provided to end users, you must provide in Part V a list containing the 5-digit Zip Codes of the
locations to which you provide those lines or channels. See Instructions.
Do not report anywhere in the form special access lines or any high-capacity connections between two locations of the same end user customer, ISP or communications carrier. Note that competitive LECs
