System or Equipment. In addition, an equipment charge may be imposed for the repair or 

replacement of any lost, stolen or damaged Equipment. Cincinnati Bell makes no warranties, 

with respect to equipment or service provided by Cincinnati Bell or with respect to the 

Equipment compatibility with any Subscriber-owned equipment.

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS

Fioptics service requires an optical network terminal device (an “

ONT

”) that requires use of 

your electrical power. The ONT is a media converter that is installed by Cincinnati Bell during 

your Fioptics installation. The ONT that is installed will convert fiber-optic light signals to 

copper/electric signals to deliver you with TV service. If the ONT is unplugged, or in the 

event of a power outage, the Service will be inoperable.

PENALTIES FOR UNAUTHORIZED SERVICE

If unauthorized service is discovered by Cincinnati Bell, the cost will be billed to the 

Subscriber for an estimate of CATV services delivered, including the cost of inspection, 

investigation, reconnection, and cost of repair to Cincinnati Bell’s facilities, all of which 

must be paid in full before service can be reestablished or restored.

MONTHLY SERVICE CHARGES

The Subscriber shall pay Cincinnati Bell a one-time pro-rated monthly service charge from 

date of installation to the end of that billing cycle. Thereafter, the Subscriber shall pay 

Cincinnati Bell the full monthly service charge applicable to the services rendered, which 

amount shall be due as shown on the monthly billing statement.

Subscriber agrees to timely pay all monthly bills. Any amount outstanding after the due date 

on the Subscriber bill shall be deemed a “past due balance”.

Monthly service charges are subject to change at any time, although Cincinnati Bell will 

provide Subscriber at least thirty (30) days advance, written notice before instituting an 

increase in service rates. Failure to pay charges invoiced may result in discontinuance of 

service by Subscriber. For information on final billing following cancellation of service by 

Subscriber, see CANCELLATION BILLING POLICY below.

LATE PAYMENT FEES

Late payment fees will be assessed on any past due balance of $10.00 or more. For past due 

balances of greater than $10.00 and less than $400.00, the fee will be calculated: (A) for 

customers with internet and video service, or only internet service or only video service, as 

$8.00; and (B) for customers with home phone service and internet service or home phone 

service and video service, as $8.00 plus 2% of the past due internet/video balance. The fee 

for all past due balances of $400.00 and greater will be calculated as 2% of the past due 

balance.

The late payment fee will be added to the past due balance and included in future billing 

cycles.

DISPUTE PROCESS FOR BILLING DISAGREEMENTS

In the event of a disagreement about a Customer bill, please contact Cincinnati Bell 

Customer Care at 513-565-2210 or 888-CIN-BELL (246-2355).

Customer satisfaction is of the utmost importance to Cincinnati Bell, and it is our policy to 

fully investigate and resolve, to our satisfaction, all customer billing disagreements lodged 

within 60 days of the original due date.

Unless an investigation has been initiated through a customer inquiry, Cincinnati Bell 

reserves the right not to issue refunds or credits after the expiration of this sixty-day period, 

except where required by law or regulation.

CANCELLATION BILLING POLICY

Cincinnati Bell may suspend and/or disconnect service for nonpayment of undisputed 

monthly service charges that are not paid in full by the due date shown on the bill. 

Cincinnati Bell will provide customer with a minimum of ten (10) days advance, written 

notice of a disconnection of all or part of the Subscriber’s service, except where 

disconnection has been requested by the Subscriber, is necessary to prevent theft of 

service, or is necessary to reduce or prevent signal leakage as described by 47 CFR §76.61. 

Cincinnati Bell will not disconnect all or part of a Subscriber’s service for nonpayment until 

the bill is at least forty five (45) days past due.

Cancellation Billing Policy: The monthly charge for service will not be prorated for the final 

partial month of service. The full monthly service fees will apply, even if your service is 

active for only a partial month.

PREMIUM / PAY-PER-VIEW SERVICE

The new Subscriber may elect to receive premium service only after he has submitted an 

application for digital service and premium service. An existing digital service Subscriber 

can elect to receive premium service by submitting his application for such service, but in 

no instance will any Subscriber be permitted to receive premium service without Cincinnati 

Bell’s digital service or if Subscriber has a past due account.
