[-SASKATCHEWAN GOVERNMENT: High speed Internet service expanded to Swift Current] Presswire - April 16, 1998 19:57 V%M2 P%M2PR M2 PRESSWIRE-16 April 1998-SASKATCHEWAN GOVERNMENT: High speed Internet service expanded to Swift Current (C)1994-98 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD Deputy Premier and Crown Investments Corporation Minister Dwain Lingenfelter today announced that SaskTel is now offering its Sympatico High Speed Internet service to residential and business customers in Swift Current. "Since SaskTel first offered high-speed Internet service to residential customers in Regina and Saskatoon in 1996, demand for this leading-edge technology from customers outside of these cities has increased," Lingenfelter said. "By expanding this service, SaskTel will not only meet this demand, but will strengthen the Crown's position as a leader in the interactive and multimedia service industry both within Saskatchewan and outside of the province." Sympatico High Speed offers high-speed Internet access at up to 50 times faster than basic Internet dial service. It also allows simultaneous phone conversations and Internet use on one phone line. In November, 1996, SaskTel became the first telephone company in North America to offer high-speed Internet service using DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) technology with the introduction of Sympatico High Speed to Regina and Saskatoon. In January, 1998, this service was expanded to both residential and business customers in Prince Albert and Moose Jaw. On March 16, 1998 SaskTel offered a Static IP (Internet Protocol) optional feature for all Sympatico High Speed Internet subscribers in Saskatchewan. Static IP allows customers to attach servers (such as those used for web hosting and E-mail), to share access and to perform multi-computer functions. As of today, this service will be available to most residential and business customers in Swift Current. SaskTel's Sympatico High Speed dealer in Swift Current is Computec Incorporated. "By offering this service to more customers, SaskTel will build on its reputation as a leader in the competitive Internet market," said Dan Baldwin, Senior Vice President, Strategic Business Development and Marketing, SaskTel. "Having high-speed Internet technology available to more people in more Saskatchewan locations is a top priority of SaskTel." SaskTel's current Special Introductory Offer of Sympatico High Speed offers the service to all SaskTel long distance subscribers for $59.95 per month. For non-SaskTel long-distance subscribers, the price is $79.95 per month. As well, until May 30, 1998, the standard $99.00 service connection charge will be waived for all new subscribers. The Static IP option costs $100.00 per month extra. SaskTel is the leading full service communications company in Saskatchewan, providing voice, data, Internet, text and messaging services over a fiber optic-based, 100 per cent digital network, as well as cellular, paging and FleetNet 800 service through its SaskTel Mobility division.
