Tuesday March 9, 7:30 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: AboveNet Communications, Inc. Leading High-Tech Employment Web Site Moves to AboveNet and Experiences 100 Percent Faster Performance Westech VJF Now the Fastest Job Search Site on the Internet SAN JOSE, Calif., March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- AboveNet Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: ABOV - news), the architect of a global one-hop network that brings together high bandwidth content sites and ISPs in centralized co-location campuses, announced today that Westech Virtual Job Fair (VJF), has seen a 100 percent improvement in response times since it moved its Web servers to AboveNet. VJF, the largest Web site for high-technology career information and job listings recently selected AboveNet to provide co-location and Internet connectivity services at its San Jose-based Internet Service Exchange(TM) (ISX(TM)). Westech VJF now delivers the one of the fastest response time of any job search site on the Internet. Westech VJF provides a database of job listings and candidates used by job seekers and corporations to perform interactive searches on-demand. The site handles more than five million hits per week and traffic is growing quickly as the company moves a larger percentage of its business to the Web and continues to expand internationally. Before moving to AboveNet, Westech VJF experienced significant packet loss, which resulted in the decision to find a provider that could better serve its need for fast, reliable and scalable bandwidth. Since choosing to co-locate with AboveNet, Westech has seen packet loss drop from 25 percent to a negligible amount, speeding response time and ensuring users do not experience lengthy delays when executing job and resume searches. ''Our Web traffic is growing so quickly, we needed to find an extremely reliable bandwidth source to improve our ability to scale capacity, as well as a vendor who could handle our service and support needs,'' said Paul Burrowes, Founder of the Virtual Job Fair Web site. ''AboveNet offered both of these critical elements and repeatedly has delivered beyond our expectations.'' ''For database-intensive applications such as the Virtual Job Fair to continue growing, high packet loss is not acceptable,'' said Sherman Tuan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of AboveNet. ''We are pleased to bring the benefits of our ISX vision to Westech, a company which has helped tens of thousands find employment in the technology sector.''
