LOS ANGELES, CA, August 5, 2008 - DSL Extreme, a leading provider of DSL and business-related Internet services, announced today that it now offers higher-speed Covad ADSL 2+ and T1 broadband services to business customers. These new service offerings provide small to medium-sized businesses with faster data speeds, so they can reliably power today's bandwidth intensive applications, including file sharing and video conferencing.

"With broadband innovation from Covad and comprehensive support from DSL Extreme, our business customers get a distinct competitive edge," said George Mitsopoulos, VP and General Manager of DSL Extreme. "Employees can work more efficiently. And with 99.9% guaranteed uptime on T1 plans, employers can ensure 24x7 productivity."

The ADSL 2+ service is available today in Los Angeles, San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area in California, as well as Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Washington, DC. Customers in these regions can choose ADSL 2+ download speeds between 8.0 and 15.0 Mbps, with an upload speed of 1.0Mbps on all packages.

The T1 service is offered in 30 metro areas and provides symmetrical download/upload speeds of 1.5/1.5 Mbps. For customers who require maximum bandwidth for e-commerce, video, online data storage, and other demanding applications, DSL Extreme offers bonded T1 service, which harnesses the power of two full T1 lines and boasts speeds of 3.0/3.0 Mbps.

"There are a lot of synergies between Covad and DSL Extreme," said Juliet G. Settlemier Ivey, Vice President of Sales for the Wholesale Group at Covad. "With our nationwide footprint and their success in the broadband market, DSL Extreme can continue to expand its reach into the business user marketplace."

"Our customers can purchase their Internet access, enterprise email service and web hosting from a single trusted provider. And they'll know they're getting reliable service at the fastest possible data speeds."
