Flashcom Announces Availability of Nationwide DSL Reseller Program; High Speed Digital Subscriber Line Reseller Program for InternetService Providers Is First of Its Kind July 17, 1998 WESTMINSTER, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE) via NewsEdge Corporation -- Flashcom, a National Digital Solutions Provider, Thursday announced that it has developed a Reseller program to enable other Internet Service Providers the option of providing Digital Subscriber Line or DSL service to their customers. DSL is a new, high speed, dedicated connection technology that allows access to the Internet or company intranets at speeds of up to 1.5Mbps or 50 times as fast as current 28.8Kbps modems. It offers users the ability to simultaneously talk, fax and surf the Internet at the same time on a single phone line. Another advantage of DSL is that it can be used by a single user or support an entire Local Area Network (LAN) through one connection. DSL is perfect for applications that require high bandwidth connections such as Web hosting, Video Conferencing, Virtual Private Networks (VPN) or Video on Demand services. Flashcom's new Reseller program provides a "pay as you go" solution for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who would like to add DSL to their list of services. Previously, adding the equipment to handle this new broadband service was only affordable to the larger Service Providers. Flashcom now offers all ISPs the opportunity to add revenues from this exciting new technology without any capital expenditure. Flashcom maintains a digital Network that was designed exclusively for DSL and is scaleable to millions of subscribers. The company has connections with multiple DSL carriers in all regions and can provide service to the largest possible customer base in any area. "Currently we are providing service to numerous customers in Southern California," said Brad Sachs, president of Flashcom. "Our Nationwide deployment of DSL service is underway with facilities in the Bay Area and Boston opening within two weeks. In the next few months we will also be expanding service into the New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C., markets. Being focused exclusively on DSL technologies, Flashcom is well positioned to support our customers and Resellers as experts in the DSL arena. This new program will allow all ISPs the opportunity to compete with the big guys." Flashcom will route information or IP from the customer location through the local Phone Company Central Office into its network and then redirect it toward the proper ISP. Flashcom offers connections to its network in one of three ways: through the Internet backbone; via a DSL/Frame/ATM connection, or a direct circuit via a Fast Ethernet cable. About Flashcom Inc. Flashcom is a new type of Internet Service Provider which specializes exclusively in high-speed, dedicated, direct connect xDSL technology service. Being a full service Digital Solutions Provider, it also offers expert Web Development and Hosting, Server Co-location, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), Firewall Appliances and Long Distance Services.
