[ISP deploys WSTL FlexCAP2 in Cincinnati] OneNet Communications Inc. Unveils ADSL to Cincinnati; High Speed Data at Reduced Cost CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 24, 1997--Cincinnati-based OneNet Communications, Inc. is taking instantaneous communications to its zenith by introducing the OneNet ADSL line, which allows users to communicate at speeds five times the speed of a standard T1 line. It is the first large-scale deployment of Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line (RADSL) Technology in Cincinnati's downtown commercial properties. RADSL is a modem-based technology that transmits technology over standard telephone lines at speeds up to 75 times faster than today's more common analog modems. Cincinnati is said to be one of the only half a dozen markets where this service is available. The largest Corporate Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the Greater Cincinnati area, OneNet is the first ISP to offer the asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL), which can instantly transfer even such large data loads as large-format graphics, huge data files, and even high resolution video. The ADSL service is powered by FlexCAP2(TM) RADSL from Westell Technologies, which allows downtown businesses to receive multi-media content at data rates exceeding T1 digital lines, saving customers money on installation, equipment, and monthly service fees. "The ADSL line allows companies of all sizes to have real-time speeds on a real-time budget," says Rodney Sizemore, OneNet director of sales and marketing. "For a cost as low as $800, companies can transfer enormous data files at the blink of an eye. The expanded bandwidth of ADSL even enables on-site video conferencing with quality that is pleasantly surprising." To find out more about this breakthrough technology and how it can help improve the speed and quality of data communications, contact the OneNet Communications corporate office at 513/554-1NET or at its web site at one.net . Based in Evendale, Ohio, OneNet Communications, Inc. is the largest corporate Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the Greater Cincinnati area.

With a full, redundant T-3 connection directly to UUNet Technologies, OneNet is part of the Internet backbone, serving up Internet access to more than 11,000 corporate and community clients.
