Silver Service Class Example
A Silver service class would be a somewhat downgraded version of the Gold class of service. Essentially, a middle-of-the-
road, lower-cost package, with adequate bandwidth for average subscriber usage needs.
Bronze Service Class Example
Subscribers purchasing a Bronze service class would pay a minimum rate, and consequently, their upstream and
downstream rates would also be much lower.
Tiered Service Examples
The examples shown in the table below illustrate scenarios in which SCNs are assigned into tiered services, using the
previously cited service class examples of:
Gold
Silver
Bronze
