  • Pricing may be different
  • SLAs not available for delays, service availability, or time to repair (TTR)
  • Only the Efficient (Siemens) CPE is available with ECA services. The customer-provided CPE option will not be available with ECA services.
  • While customers can still access SMART, not all functionality will be available, and some information might not be updated in real time.
  • ECA services will be installed by a Covad partner and not a Covad technician.
