Subject: NorthernTel Retail Quality of Service – Second Quarter 2022 Results

Dear Philippe Gauvin:

In Telecom Regulatory Policy 2009-304,^Footnote1 the Commission retained the requirement that retail quality of service (Q of S) reports be filed quarterly, and that monthly exception reports/action plans^Footnote2 be filed whenever a service indicator result is below standard for 3 consecutive months, or 7 out of 12 consecutive months.

On 29 July 2022, the Commission received the retail Q of S results for the second quarter of 2022 from NorthernTel Limited Partnership (NorthernTel). Commission staff notes that the results for the indicator 2.1B (Out-of-Service Trouble Reports Cleared within 48 Hours – Rural) were below the standard of 80% for three consecutive months. Commission staff also notes that NorthernTel did not file monthly exception reports/action plans.

Accordingly, Commission staff requests NorthernTel to file with the Commission a monthly exception report/action plan by 29 August 2022

Sincerely,

Original signed by

Michel Murray
Director, Dispute Resolution and Regulatory Implementation
Telecommunications Sector
