Speakeasy's New ADSL2 Features Download Speeds Of Up To 15 Mbps
SEATTLE, September 13, 2007—Speakeasy (www.speakeasy.net), one of the nation's top voice and data providers, is expanding its connectivity speed options and adding standalone ADSL2 which features download speeds of up to 8.0, 10.0 and 15.0 megabits per second (Mbps), and upload speeds of up to 1.0 Mbps. The new Speakeasy OneLink™ ADSL2 packages are perfectly targeted to small businesses that need more available bandwidth per employee at an extremely competitive price. The increased speeds are a significant improvement over previous Speakeasy ADSL plans, which offer a maximum down/up speed of 6.0/768. Speakeasy developed these new services to support increased customer adoption of high-bandwidth applications such as rich media, large file transmissions, and data backup services.
ADSL2 (also referred to as ADSL2+) is relatively new to the U.S. and is a next-generation DSL technology that provides a compelling alternative to traditional DSL and cable service. Speakeasy's OneLink ADSL2 service will be deployed in eleven key markets – Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington DC – for an installation cost of $149 and monthly prices starting at $149.95, depending on speed. The service runs on Speakeasy's nationwide, multi-redundant private fiber network for optimal performance. Speakeasy's OneLink ADSL2 is a dedicated line product, which means it does not require a local phone connection. It is ideally suited for individuals and businesses that use third party voice providers or cell phones as their primary voice service.
"Small business customers want broadband solutions that grow with their requirements, without breaking the bank. Speakeasy is one of the only providers to offer ADSL2 in the U.S., and it clearly has competitive and performance advantages to other Internet options," said Bruce Chatterley, Speakeasy's President and CEO.
Speakeasy has a long history of providing innovative services and was awarded PC Magazine's Readers' Choice Award for DSL for 2006 as well as PC Magazine's Fastest DSL Provider for 2007. OneLink ADSL2 is another example of Speakeasy leading the way in a competitive industry by listening to its customers and innovating to meet their needs.
