Structure of Rates

Connectivity rates are structured hierarchically. The rate decks from higher-level accounts in the hierarchy are inherited by their corresponding child accounts.

A conceptual diagram of the rates hierarchy is shown here.

Rate Options for Child Accounts

There are two rate options that can be applied to child accounts as described in this table.

Rate Setting	Description
