Flashcom Blasts Into Baltimore With Low Cost, High Speed Internet Access; Digital Subscriber Lines Deliver the Internet Over 100 Times Faster From $59.95 a Month WESTMINSTER, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 25, 1999--Flashcom, the premier National Digital Services Provider (DSP), Thursday announced the expansion of their high speed DSL service into the Baltimore metro area. Flashcom is the nation's largest DSL exclusive supplier and the only company currently providing service to thousands of businesses and power users in Northern and Southern California, Massachusetts, Washington, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, New Hampshire, Maryland, Virginia, Texas and Washington DC. At its top speed, Flashcom's DSL service is up to 100 times faster than dial-up modem connections and over 25 times faster than ISDN. And, unlike dial-up services, there is no wait to connect and no busy signals. Once installed, the high-speed connection is always on and available. Unlike existing high bandwidth transport technologies, DSL service is a flat-rate service with no usage or mileage charges. Superior to cable modems which operate in a shared environment, Flashcom's DSL offers a secure connection that is perfect for banking, day stock trading and e-commerce services. DSL is also well suited for high bandwidth applications such as Video on demand, Multimedia applications, Wide Area Networks, Voice over IP (VoIP), or Web Site Hosting. Flashcom provides its DSL service nationwide with a superior Digital Network that was designed exclusively for DSL and is unique in its ability to provide private, secure connections between sites without using the Internet. "By focusing exclusively on DSL technology, our customers are assured of the finest high speed experience, knowledge and support available -- including a variety of DSL solutions," stated Brad Sachs, president and chief executive officer of Flashcom. "Power users and small businesses now have a cost effective solution for high speed connectivity nationwide. With our prices starting at only $59.95 a month, current users of multiple dialup accounts, ISDN, Frame Relay or T1 circuits, can save hundreds to thousands of dollars per month." Flashcom's new high-speed data service is available now. Customers interested in ordering the service or viewing the company's specials can do so on the Web at flashcom.com or call toll free 877/Flashcom. About Flashcom Inc.
