The following information is prepared as responses for sections in the Cable
Television Franchise Agreement, Attachment C, Customer Service Standards.
1) Cable system office hours and telephone availability-
As of October 11, 1999, AT&T Cable Service customers are assisted by AT&T
personnel 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Office hours are Monday— Friday, 8 am to 6pm and Saturday, 9 am to 5pm
During office hours, phone calls and local Customer Service Representatives assist walk-
in customers.
After normal working hours, all telephone calls to our local numbers are
automatically directed via a phone switching system to the AT&T Call Center in Denver.
All after hours calls are answered by a specially trained group of AT&T Customer
service agents who have access to account information that allows them to assist
customers with repair problems, billing or account questions, and ordering information.
Most inquiries are handled immediately. For emergency repair, call center personnel are
able to contact our stand-by technicians for resolution. For non-emergency situations,
calls are forwarded to our office for response the next business day.
The Lucent phone switch installed mid-1999 allows us to measure and track
phone calls to insure adherence to standards set forth in the franchise agreement.

2. Installation, outages and service calls
Standard installations are completed within the required seven-day window.
Appointment windows are in two-hour blocks during normal business hours. Service
interruptions are handled the same day if possible, especially when the customer is
experiencing a"no picture" situation. In any event, service calls are handled within a
24-hour window unless the customer requests otherwise. Our `On-Time Guarantee'
insures customers a $20.00 refund if our technicians are late for an appointment or
miss an appointment. Appointments are not canceled by AT&T Cable Service. If a
scheduled technician is not available, work is routed to other personnel and the
appointment is kept. In the event that a technician is running late, customers are
contacted and arrangements are made to fit the customers needs. Again, the `on-time
guarantee' is applied when appropriate.

2) Communications between AT&T Cable Service and cable customers:
Each new customer receives a"welcome kit' either at the time the order is taken
in the office or at the install. The information is also available for current customers and
will be mailed upon request.
AT&T Cable Service endeavors to adhere to the notification guidelines as stated
in section 2 whenever possible. Local franchise authorities are notified 60 days in
advance in writing and/or through personal contact with an AT&T Cable Service
representative. Customers are notified the required 30 days in advance via coverage on
local cable channels, through radio or print media, direct mail pieces and/or statement
messages or inserts.
A copy of a customer statement is included in this packet. AT&T advocates
solving customer concerns, including billing disputes and credits, at the time of first
contact. Trained representatives are capable of explaining the billing procedures and
making adjustments or credits immediately. Written complaints are responded to upon
receipt via phone when possible and/or through correspondence. Refunds are processed
and checks generated through our corporate office in Denver and sent directly to the
customer.
AT&T Cable Service agrees with and adheres to the statement of equal
opportunity as well as other applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.

AT&T Cable Service technicians constantly monitor and maintain the cable plant
to FCC Standards in order to swiftly correct malfunctions. Technicians are in constant
radio communication with dispatch during normal working hours. After hours, a team of
stand-by technicians carry pagers and cellular phones in order to service emergency
problems reported through the AT&T Denver Call Center.
Service calls are responded to within 24 hours unless other arrangements are
made for the customers' request. Planned interruptions of service for maintenance,
repair, etc. are made "at times which least affect typical subscriber television viewing
habits."
Customer complaints are resolved in the most expedient and customer friendly
way possible. AT&T Cable Service Customer Service personnel and technicians are
empowered to resolve issues immediately. Customers with complaints are assisted
immediately or passed on to the appropriate supervisor or manager for resolution. Credit
for service not restored within eight hours is available upon request and readily given in
the amount of 1/30th the monthly charge for each service unavailable.
The AT&T Customer Service Philosophy is
to treat each customer as our only customer.
