ITB Product Breakdown
Description of LCR - Least Cost Routing
Outgoing calls are prefixed with either a 3 or 4 digit code, which routes the call from the BT exchange via an alternative network, providing the caller with reduced call charges.
Description of CPS - Carrier Pre Select
An indirect voice service enabling the routing of a certain type of call via a carrier other than the incumbent, without the end user having to dial a prefix code before the destination number or having to have a PBS or LCR.
Description of Direct Connect (Voice, Integrated access - dedicated channels for Voice and Data)
A direct pipe 30 channels or IDSN is installed by an alternative carrier, this will incur a 1 year contract and installation/rental charges may be applicable.  This will eliminate all BT charges, therefore reducing call charges even further.  ITB may install pipes to offer a primary circuit for outgoing calls, whilst retaining the original BT circuit for incoming calls.
Description of Lease Lines (Point to Point, Internet)
These are lines of varying bandwidth (between 64k and 2meg) installed between sites for either data passing or for internet provision.
