October 14, 2006 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – DSLExtreme (http://www.dslextreme.com), a high-speed Internet services provider whose services include web hosting, has “expanded its coverage” to include the Qwest DSL network in its growing residential and business broadband platform. The network currently covers Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
"Adding Qwest services to our network gives us a quick fourteen state expansion and competitive DSL access product for potential new customers in those territories," said Jim Murphy, DSLExtreme President. IKANO Communications, a leading provider of private-label Internet services, recently acquired the operations of DSLExtreme. "IKANO's network infrastructure and strong relationship with Qwest meshed well with our existing network and DSL provisioning system. The platform allows us to expand our retail and wholesale business simultaneously."
DSLExtreme’s expansion enables the company to offer a highly competitive stand-alone broadband solution to customers without requiring traditional residential telephone services. The company will continue to offer its traditional services, including connections, dial-up access, email, and exchange hosting alongside web hosting and dedicated services.
The acquisition has allowed IKANO (http://www.ikano.com) to leverage DSLExtreme to expand coverage and build additional network relationships that will allow its existing customer base to benefit from the acquired solutions. "The new growth of our DSL network is part of IKANO's present strategy to ramp wholesale DSL services across the country while continuing to service our existing dial footprint," said George Naspo, IKANO CEO. "Our company will keep on the expansion push in order to provide our customers with even larger consolidated networks at reduced rates." IKANO's recently upgraded wholesale DSL services, restructured pricing, and expanded territory with Bell Canada will be announced at the upcoming tradeshow ISPCON, taking place November 7-9 in Santa Clara, California. |
