Atlantic.Net Press Releases

GAINESVILLE (June 11, 1998) — Atlantic.Net: Internet Connect Company, Inc., one of Florida’s most popular Internet service providers, is pleased to announce that 56K Internet access is now available to subscribers in the Lake City calling area.

Users with 56K-compatible modems will be able to access Web pages and use other Internet utilities at nearly twice the speed of a standard 28.8Kbps modem, at no additional cost.

“We’re happy to be introducing the 56K-capability to our subscribers in Lake City,” says Atlantic.Net president and CEO Marty Puranik, “I think people will be pleasantly surprised at how fast it really is.”

Customers already using 56K modems will see an immediate improvement in connection speeds, others will notice more reliable connections due to the clarity of the digital signal. And because it is a digital service, customers may also use dial-up 64Kbps ISDN terminal adapters to access the Internet at higher speeds for the same monthly fee. Dial-up 128Kbps ISDN access is also available for an additional charge.
