Broadband Network Services Incorporated (BNSI) today announced a new suite of DSL service offerings targeted at the small- to medium-sized enterprise (SME) market. These new DSL product offerings combine a set of essential services that meet the demands of enterprises for Internet and World Wide Web access as well as provide the opportunity to create an effective Internet presence.

BNSI offers its new products using Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology. Using this technology, enterprises within approximately three miles of any telephone company central office facility may be serviced by BNSI.

Depending on actual distance and existing line quality, BNSI offers customers three different access speed combinations: 512Kbps/128Kbps; 1,500Kbps/384Kbps; and 640Kbps/640Kbps. The first number of each pair represents the effective bandwidth from BNSI to the customer's premises. The second number represents the effective bandwidth from the customer premises to BNSI.

BNSI combines its always-on DSL access technology with additional services to create a single point of service for all the enterprise's Internet needs. The services included in each DSL service offering are:

• A static IP address
• Domain Name Service (DNS) for up to five customer domain names
• 10 Managed e-mail accounts (POP3/Webmail)
• and corporate Web site hosting with 15MB storage and 500MB monthly traffic.

Additional domain names, mailboxes, and Web site services are available on request.

With these new service offerings, BNSI continues to be the preferred Internet Service Provider for the greater Charlottesville area. In business since June 1, 1995 BNSI continues it's tradition of knowledgeable, professional, and superior service to its customers.
