Speakeasy.net Expands Footprint with New Edge Networks; ISP Will Gain New Coverage in Small and Midsize Cities
SEATTLE and VANCOUVER, Wash. – (August 7, 2001) – Speakeasy.net, a national broadband service provider, has selected New Edge Networks for providing high-speed Internet access and expanding its coverage into small and midsize cities around the country.
Under terms of an agreement, Speakeasy.net will resell Digital Subscriber Line service powered by New Edge Networks, the largest broadband and enhanced data communications services provider for small and midsize cities. New Edge Networks will install, test and maintain the DSL lines on behalf of Speakeasy.net throughout its network that spans more than 360 cities in 29 states.
“Working with New Edge Networks provides us the opportunity to offer our services to consumers and businesses located in traditionally under-served markets,” said Michael Apgar, President and CEO of Speakeasy.net. “We want to extend the Speakeasy broadband experience to as many people as possible. We’re confident New Edge can augment our present infrastructure and aid us in achieving this goal.”
Speakeasy.net will begin accepting orders from all New Edge-served markets this week.
“We expect Speakeasy.net to hit the road running as an important reseller partner,” said Dan Moffat, president and CEO of New Edge Networks. “They have a proven performance record and outstanding customer reputation. Their back office system and Web interfaces with customers are in a class of its own and breed contagious demand from referral business.”
