Alternative Routing  -  Only available for new supply via the EMP interface (WLR3)
Alternative Routing gives customers connection to their normal serving exchange over two different routes involving different cables and/or ducts (if available) and/or building entry points (if available), to a level requested by the customer.
Full ISDN30 connection and rental charges apply for channels which have been alternatively routed, the first alternatively routed transmission bearer attracting the New Installation Charge. In addition there is a minimum requirement for 8 channels on both the main and alternative route.
Where new network build is required, e.g.new ducts or fibre, Excess Construction Charges will apply and can be found in `Excess Construction Charges' in the Service Products section of this Price List at :
http://www.openreach.co.uk/orpg/pricing/serviceproducts.do
Diverse Routing   -  Only available for new supply via the EMP interface (WLR3)
Diverse Routing gives customers connection to a second exchange designated by Openreach, in addition to that used for their normal ISDN30 service. This provides two different routes involving different cables and serving exchanges and different ducts (where possible) and building entry points (if available).
Full ISDN30 connection and rental charges apply for channels which have been diversely routed, the first diversely routed transmission bearer attracting the New Installation Charge. In addition there is a minimum requirement for 8 channels on both the main and diverse route.
Two options are available for supplying this:
One option  allows connection to an adjacent exchange by linking to the adjacent local access network by the use of network build charged as Excess Construction Charges.
Where new network build is required, e.g.new ducts or fibre, Excess Construction Charges will apply and can be found in `Excess Construction Charges' in the Service Products section of this Price List at :
http://www.openreach.co.uk/orpg/pricing/serviceproducts.do
The other option allows connection to an adjacent exchange by routing the adjacent exchange via the local exchange and then over the BT transmission network.
For this option Out of Area charges will apply.
