HiWAAY: Information/Internet Services
High-speed Internet Zooms into Athens and Decatur
Huntsville, Ala. (May 18, 2000) - HiWAAY Information Services is proud to announce that it is
now offering Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service in the Athens and Decatur areas.
"HiWAAY is always working toward providing our customers with the highest quality of service
and this step is no exception. As we continue to grow, so does our DSL service and we are
excited about the continuing expansion into more towns across the state of Alabama, " Mark
Derrick, HiWAAY's chief technical officer said.
HiWAAY's DSL access service provides a high-speed, low-cost solution for residential or
business Internet applications. DSL allows data transfer speeds of up to 1.5 Mbps.
Residential DSL allows faster access to the Internet from your home. "We are delighted to bring
DSL to individual users because now they can enjoy doing things on the Internet at up to 50
times the speed they were used to with a standard modem, and it doesn't tie up their phone
lines," Redge Swing, HiWAAY's chief administrative office said.
"HiWAAY's DSL for businesses is a truly unique solution you're not likely to find elsewhere. In
addition to high-speed access, HiWAAY DSL customers will also receive full domain name
services, web hosting and email boxes," Brad Towery, HiWAAY's sales manager said.
