LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 7, 2003

New High-Speed Services Give Users Instant Web Access

without Tying Up Phone Lines, All for the Same Price

as Traditional "Dial-Up" Services

DSL Extreme, one of the nation's fastest growing Internet service providers, today announced that it has expanded its low-cost, high-speed Internet services to the national market, giving consumers in select cities fast connection for $24.95, among the lowest price packages available.

DSL Extreme's high-speed Internet service enables instant-on connection at speeds up to 50 times faster than the standard dial-up service. Customers can surf the Web, check email and Instant message without tying up their telephone line. Free nationwide customer support, anti-spam filters and pop-up stoppers are included, as well as remote email access capabilities so customers can check and send email while away from home.

"Internet users want faster service, but the cost of high-speed has always been tough for many consumers to swallow," said Jim Murphy, president, DSL Extreme. "Not only do our customers appreciate the super-fast connection, they no longer have to worry about tying up their telephone line while using the Web."

In addition, DSL Extreme offers a unique "Hot Cutover" feature, which enables customers to move from their current DSL provider to DSL Extreme in a matter of hours. Traditional migration required up to two weeks of disconnection, leaving customers without Internet service.

"With the way the Web is today, the technology you buy is virtually the same," added Murphy. "The difference in your experience as a customer -- from the response time to your questions to the amount of spam in your mailbox -- is where your provider comes in, and that's where our company shines."

DSL Extreme's high-speed Internet service is available now. For more information about availability in your area or to order, call 800-774-3379 or visit www.dslextreme.com.
