Gainesville, FL (February 15, 2002) - Atlantic.Net, one of the
nation's fastest-growing Internet Service Providers, today announced
a special offer for current Broadslate customers in Florida whose
contracts with Broadslate are scheduled to terminate on March 15.
Atlantic.Net is offering free equipment and free activation to businesses
that sign a one-year contract for Atlantic.Net's Digital Subscriber
Line (DSL) Internet service, and free installation to businesses that
sign a two-year agreement for a high-speed T-1 connection.
This is the fourth time in the past six months that Atlantic.Net has
extended this offer to businesses statewide, as companies such as
Broadslate, Verio and BlueStar have announced the discontinuation
of service in selected areas due to factors such as acquisition and
bankruptcy.
Last week, Atlantic.Net was identified as the 22nd fastest-growing
private company in Florida in a University of Florida study. Since
1998, the company has been recognized annually as one of Florida's
fastest-growing private companies, making the top 25 three years in
a row.
Atlantic.Net can turn up the DSL circuits within 15 business days
after a contract is signed and typically installs a T-1 line in 30
days. In addition, Atlantic.Net is offering temporary connections
to businesses until their Atlantic.Net DSL or T-1 connections are
established.
To sign up for DSL or a T-1 connection, businesses can call 1-800-521-5881.
