[Aware] DSL Services Now Available from GTC Telecom Company Expands Online Services to Include Affordable High Speed Internet Access for Residential and Small Business Customers COSTA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 18, 1999--GTC Telecom (OTC BB: GTCC - news) Thursday announced that it will now offer DSL Services to residential and small business customers that desire high speed Internet access. DSL services are optimal for residential and small business users who desire affordable high speed Internet access. DSL provides service up to 50 times faster than a standard 56K modem connection. This service is available using access over Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ASDL). ASDL is a new modem-based technology that provides a connection to the Internet using an existing phone line. This technology allows for the sending and receiving of voice and data information simultaneously. Paul Sandhu, president and chief executive officer of GTC Telecom stated: ''We are proud to offer alternative, affordable ways for our customers to obtain high speed Internet access. GTC is currently offering wireless T1 services similar to those offered by PSINet (Nasdaq:PSIX - news) for its business customers. However, we wanted to provide our residential and small business customers with a high speed access option as well. ''Our new DSL option is perfect for the user who does not want to install any additional equipment or pay large fees every month for Internet access. GTC's DSL services will utilize the same ASDL technology that companies like Tut Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:TUTS - news), Pairgain Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq:PAIR - news) and Aware Inc. (Nasdaq:AWRE - news) offer. ''Our customers have requested an affordable, high-speed connectivity option. We believe that offering DSL services fills this request and keeps GTC on innovative ground when it comes to introducing new technology solutions to our customers. Much like our competitive pricing in our long distance programs, GTC believes that we can offer industry leading Internet programs as well.'' GTC Telecom's DSL services are available in selected areas within the state of California today. To sign up for GTC Telecom's DSL service, customers should call 800/486-4030. GTC Telecom is a communications company offering Internet services as well as long distance telecommunications services. GTC offers an array of Internet packages, including wireless T1 access for businesses and DSL access for residential customers. The company also launched an online long distance calling card e-commerce site located at www.ecallingcards.com. On the telecommunications side, GTC Telecom currently offers a long distance rate of 5.9 cents per minute in selected states as well as flat rate programs starting at $29.95 per month. Founded in 1997, GTC Telecom is an interexchange carrier and has long distance service offerings including outbound service, inbound toll-free 800 service, and dedicated private line services for data. GTC's position as an interexchange carrier gives the company the ability to function as a large telecom company but alleviates the overhead, thus allowing GTC to have rates lower than many of their competitors.
