Qwest SONET Ring Service may be purchased under three-year and five-year term pricing plans or a five-year volume commitment plan called the Partnership Program. See the pricing plan.

Qwest SONET Ring Service (SRS) offers new packaging for DS1, DS3, and OC3 circuits riding the Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) fiber ring architecture and Qwest's NETWORK 21-at prices that are lower than standard service rates.

This technology prevents fiber cuts and service degradations from stopping your network. It sends each piece of data twice, so that when a network path fails and stops one copy of your data, the identical counterpart makes it through on a different path. Your data continues flowing no matter what. And Qwest has the power to fix any breaks in the SONET network in 50 milliseconds.

See the SRS Configuration diagram and the SRS Performance Parameters.
