888-Leave-AOL program Waives Setup Fee and Guarantees Price for Next 2 Years
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- US Internet Corp. today announced the
"888-Leave-AOL" program for customers interested in leaving America On-Line.
This special promotion includes waiving the $24.95 setup fee, guaranteed price
protection for the next 2 years, one e-mail account, 10 megabytes of storage
for personal web use, "change-of-address" system, 24 hour toll-free tech
support and a copy of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4.0 on CD-ROM with account
activation.
Joe Caldwell, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, commented, "We
believe this is an incredible opportunity. AOL users will no longer have to
deal with busy signals, being bombarded by advertising or more potential rate
increases. US Internet offers the most comprehensive, inexpensive and
user-friendly change-over program available."
Supplementing US Internet's superior access and customer service is its
content affiliate relationship with Planet Direct, the Web's leading personal
online service. Planet Direct offers the ease-of-use consumers have come to

entertainment information, chat and discussion groups, national yellow and
white pages, mapping and driving conditions and local and national weather
forecasts. Offering a completely localized experience for hundreds of cities
across the country, Planet Direct seamlessly integrates brand name content
with links to popular content sites and other services, intuitively presented
for quick access to a member's personal interests. Planet Direct is a free
service for US Internet customers, accessible via the Planet Direct link on US
Internet's home page (http://www.usinternet.com) or directly on the Web at

US Internet's knowledge of its customers' connectivity and support
requirements, is a powerful equation that equals real value and security,"
