[Flashcom: another Boston-NY DSL VAR/Integrator Rollout... anyone keeping score here?]
Boston and New York Tri-State Area; Flashcom
Begins Offering Digital Subscriber Lines in the
Northeast
August 18, 1998
WESTMINSTER, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE) via
NewsEdge Corporation -- Flashcom, a National
Digital Services Provider (DSP), Monday announced
they are now providing broadband DSL service to
Boston and the New York Tri-State region.
Flashcom is the nation's largest DSL exclusive
supplier and is currently providing service to both
Northern and Southern California. At its top speed,
Flashcom's DSL service is up to 50 times faster
than most dial-up modem connections and 20 times
faster than ISDN. And, unlike dial-up services, there
is no wait to connect and no busy signals.
Once installed, the high-speed connection is always
on and available. The DSL service is also a flat-rate
service with no usage charges -- eliminating both
costly, unpredictable charges often associated with
ISDN and the need for a separate phone line. DSL
is perfect for applications that require high
bandwidth such as Video, Audio, Local Area
Networks, secure large file transfers and Web
Hosting.
Flashcom maintains a Digital Network that was
designed exclusively for DSL and is unique in its
ability to provide private, secure connections
between sites without using the Internet.
"By focusing exclusively on DSL technology, our
customers are assured of the finest high speed
experience, knowledge and support available,"
stated Brad Sachs, president of Flashcom. "Our T1
speed circuits are only $395 a month with zero local
loop charges and for a limited time we are offering
free installation on all speeds. If you are currently
using multiple dialup accounts, ISDN, Frame Relay
or T1 circuits, Flashcom can save you hundreds to
thousands of dollars per month."
"We look forward to having a strong, national player
like Flashcom provide their service here in the
Northeast," said Chuck Haas, vice president of
Sales and Marketing for Covad. "Together, we offer
a powerful partnership that delivers innovative, cost
effective solutions to our customers."
Flashcom's new high-speed data service is available
now. Customers interested in ordering the service
and taking advantage of our special offer can sign
up immediately on its Web site at
flashcom.com.
