This deployment augments Rhythms' coverage in the state, as service in Northern Connecticut, including Hartford, was announced in early November. Rhythms' solutions help remote offices, teleworkers and home users access information from the Internet and networks at industry-leading speeds combined with end-to-end support. "Connecticut businesses and consumers now have a high-speed access alternative," said Steve Stringer, President and COO of Rhythms.

Rhythms provides managed Internet access and network services for businesses and consumers, based on "always on" DSL connections ranging in speeds from 144 kbps to 7.1 Mbps (approximately 125 times the speed of today's fastest dial-up modem). The company offers its services to businesses of all sizes and to home users through its channel partners, including competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), interexchange carriers (IXCs), Internet service providers (ISPs), network integrators, and value-added resellers (VARs).
