Guide to Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (ILEC)
Choosing Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers
An Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier is a telephone service carrier that provided local service when the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was passed. ILECs are generally Regional Bell Operating Companies, sometimes called "Baby Bells," that were created after the break up of AT&T in the 1980s. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allowed the Regional Bell Operating Companies to offer long distance service in exchange for allowing competition for local phone service and DSL.
Two types of telephone companies were born: Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers, or ILECs and Competitive Local Exchange Carriers, or CLECs. Competitive Local Exchange Carriers use rack space and lines provided by the ILEC and resell the services to local customers. An ILEC company is often the default carrier and competes with CLECs for phone service and other offerings like DSL. When choosing between an ILEC or a CLEC, here is what you must do:
1. Find out who the ILEC and CLEC providers in your area are.
2. Compare the cost of services from different types of companies.
3. Evaluate service levels and customer service from both types of providers.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Find an incumbent local exchange listing
When you set up phone service and DSL, you need to find out who your local telephone service carriers are. This information can be found on your state's Public Utility Commission website.
I recommend:
The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissions provides a map with links to each state's Public Utility Commission. Check your state utility commission to find out who your ILEC is. Contact the Federal Communications Commission to get information about regulations or how to file a complaint.
Get reliable service with a large ILEC carrier
Chances are, your local ILEC is a company that has been in operation for decades. Many ILECS are huge companies that operate in a large area of the country. Their experience and the fact that they own the equipment means fast, reliable service, although rates and customer service may not be as competitive.
I recommend:
Some of the ILECS that operate in large regions include Verizon, Qwest and AT&T. These companies also offer competitive service in areas where they are not the ILEC, and provide additional services like high-speed Internet, wireless and satellite television.
Check out your area's competitive local exchange carrier
Depending on where your business is located, you may have a wide range of choices of CLECs that offer local service as well as long distance and high-speed Internet services. Companies include locally based, small providers and large national providers that provide services throughout the country.
I recommend:
One Communications is a CLEC that provides service to the eastern parts of the United States. MetTel Inc. is a large CLEC that offers service in areas throughout the United States.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide- Keep in mind that, while competitive local exchange carriers may offer great rates, their control over system outages is limited.
