Metro Ethernet
Metro
Ethernet services transport data traffic between two or more Ethernet local
area networks (LANs) within a designated metropolitan area. Metro Ethernet
can be configured as a basic service or as a dedicated
point-to-point service. As a basic service, speeds of 10 Mbps,
100 Mbps, and 1 Gbps are supported. As
a dedicated point-to-point service, speeds of 100
Mbps and 1 Gbps are supported. In addition to Metro Ethernet service,
OTM offers Premium Ethernet services, which include other features and functionality.
For information about Premium Ethernet services contact the OTM Network
Infrastructure section.

How To Order
Agencies
interested in acquiring Metro Ethernet service should complete and submit an OTM-51
Metro Ethernet Agency Request for Vendor Quote Form to OTM. OTM will determine
which vendors are able to provide the service in the requested area(s) and obtain
and validate rate quotes from the available vendors. OTM will then provide the
quote to the requesting agency. If multiple vendors respond to the request for
quote, the requesting agency may choose from the responding vendors based on
the agency's specific technical needs, timeline, or price.
To accept the quote and
order the service, the agency should complete and submit to OTM either an OTM-38
AT&T Metro Ethernet Service Order Form or an OTM-83
Independent Metro Ethernet Order Form.
Billing
