Questions for TekSavvy:

  1. Not including any reports submitted to you by your wholesale providers, does your company compile information about your wholesale service providers’ average service delivery time associated with the provision of mandated services to your end-users? If so, provide this information for 2014 to 2016 on a monthly basis for service installation, repair, and any other service changes. If available, describe and provide a breakdown of the information requested above for each of your wholesale service providers.
  2. Identify, and quantify to the extent possible, any barriers to switching wholesale service providers for mandated wholesale services. For example, outline any initial network-related investment as well as any cost to migrate customers over to a new underlying wholesale service.
  3. Provide your views on the feasibility of negotiating the inclusion of quality of service intervals in any off-tariff agreement for mandated wholesale services. Where your company has completed or attempted this in the past,
    1. explain the process you undertook;
    2. identify the other party, the wholesale service(s) in question, and any associated intervals; and
    3. describe the desired outcome, and the actual outcome of the negotiation.
