Press Release

New “Double Quicksm” Dial-Up Internet Services from Body Wise® Communications/Advantagesm

Telecommunications firm completes testing of new service and calls it the “best alternative to DSL for the money”.

Sutter Creek, California, July 23, 2002:  Eric Shippam, Director of Communications/Advantage LLC the official Internet and telecommunications provider to Body Wise® International, Inc. and its thousands of Independent Consultants said in Sutter Creek,  California today that they have successfuly completed a 60-day test of their new Double Quicksm Internet Access Service. The new service is available to all residents of California.

Eric Shippam said, “For some time there has been a demand for faster Internet Access transmission speeds. Our customers tell us they hate the slow speeds of standard dial-up services and many cannot get DSL or Cable service, so we decided to test a low cost alternative. Today, we are delighted to announce that our customers can go twice as fast, as their current dial up service, and pay as little as  $24.95 per month for the service. That is, twice the speed for little more than most people pay for standard dial-up connections from our competitors,” Shippam noted. “In the past, getting speeds faster than 56 Kilobits per second wasn’t possible locally unless you purchased ISDN (128Kbps) or DSL Service. At $80 for ISDN, it was not a good option for most folks and DSL just is not available to most of us.  The new Double Quicksm Internet Service ends the wait for faster speeds.”

Test Results

The first subscriber to the new service was San Andreas based Calaveras Enterprise Newspaper:

Nick Baptista, Editor of the paper, said, “The service is twice the speed of the service we had before and we are actually paying less than we did with our old dial up service.” 

As for quality, he said,  “So far, we are very happy with the speed and reliability of the service. With a busy office like ours, we can’t afford downtime on our network at any price and Double Quick has stood the test.”

 

Sutter Creek Telecommuter, Steve Gomann, has this to say about the new service from,

 

Communications Advantage in an email to Bobby Keeling, IT manager at the company, “Thanks for

 

your help with getting my computer ready for Double Quick. It works like a charm and I am up

 

and running. I didn't even need to change anything with my work VPN and Outlook. Thanks

 

again and I'd be happy to be a reference for you should you need one.”

“Responses like this from business and consumers are great to receive and I am pleased to say, not at all uncommon. Our employees understand our business is to provide solutions for our customers and we want to help them get what they want, when they want it.  We understand there are a lot of choices when it comes to Internet Access,or telecommunications services and we like to offer clear advantage to our community.”  Eric Shippam said.
