How do I reconnect my service(s)?

Non-pay disconnect:

Your services should be back on by the end of that same day.

So the long distance carriers are getting reductions in their costs, but my costs are increasing because of the ARC? Why is this fair?

The access revenues that local exchange carriers receive from the long-distance carriers help offset the cost of providing local service. The FCC recognizes that the local exchange carriers will need another revenue source to offset the revenues lost from these required access reductions. Therefore, the FCC is allowing local exchange carriers such as All West Communications to recover a portion of the revenues lost from these access reductions through the ARC. The FCC determined that the customer (you) chooses to place a long-distance call and the long-distance carrier that is used; therefore, the customer should bear more of the cost.

Is the ARC a tax?

No, it is not a tax. Tax-exempt organizations will also pay the ARC.

Which products or services will the ARC be applied to?

If you subscribe to local telephone service, an ARC charge may be applied.

Will all customers see an ARC charge?

Any customer with a Subscriber Line Charge (SLC) will see an ARC charge.

I didn't ask for this service. How can I get the ARC charge removed from my bill?

The ARC charge is associated with your landline telephone service and cannot be removed from your bill.

Is the ARC charge optional?

No. The ARC charge is not an optional charge and cannot be adjusted off the bill.
