California Internet users may no longer have to suffer the frustrations

caused by busy signals, bandwidth bottlenecks, data traffic jams or

downloading delays.

Pacific Bell and ORCONET, a statewide data solutions and Internet service

provider, have teamed up to bring state businesses and residents the

hottest offering in Internet access technology.

Internet users can access this high-speed service via Pacific

Bell/ORCONET's asymmetrical digital subscriber lines, more commonly known

as ADSL. ADSL is a dedicated service that provides "always on" Internet

access without interfering with voice calls traveling over the same

telephone line. ADSL can download data over existing copper telephone

lines at a rate of up to 1.5 megabits per second, or 50 times faster than

traditional dial-up connections.

The ADSL service is currently available to businesses or residents located

within approximately three miles of a Pacific Bell central office. ADSL

service is being deployed through at least one central office in the

following Southern California cities: Costa Mesa, Laguna Hills, Corona Del

Mar, Newport Beach, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Irvine, Garden Grove, Tustin,

Fullerton, Hollywood, Burbank, Los Angeles, Sherman Oaks, Northridge, Van

Nuys and more. Northern California cities include Simi, Pleasanton, Santa

Clara, San Jose, Sunnyvale, Walnut Creek, Berkeley, Concord, Fremont, San

Francisco and more.

"This (ADSL) is fabulously fast and saves me so much time," said Dan

Sirkin, president of Miracle Offset Printing of North Hollywood, who has

been using the ADSL service for ORCONET. "I can download a 7-megabyte file

in one-and-a-half minutes where in the past this same size file would have

taken a half-an-hour to download."

ORCONET's monthly fee for ADSL access varies depending on the level of

service ordered, but monthly access fees start at $98 a month for a

one-year commitment for 384kbps/128kbps (kilobits-per-second) service. The

$98 fee includes Internet access, e-mail and all telephone line fees.

Modem installation costs are not included.

For companies needing more high-powered access for video conferencing and

business-to-business data transfer, 1.5Mbps/384kbps service is available.

"Business-to-business Internet users have been clamoring for reliable

high-speed connectivity for E-mail, data, video and other time-sensitive

digital services," said John Leon, ORCONET's network development officer.

"ORCONET has met that demand and is one of the first companies in Southern

California to offer this service through Pacific Bell's FasTrack DSL

program."

ORCONET's ADSL network is designed with high-capacity redundant SONET

connections, leading-edge routers and power backup systems. The network is

100 percent fiber optic, self-healing and offers redundant digital rings.

In addition, the network is directly connected to the Internet through

multiple tier-one backbone providers, allowing users to experience the

highest quality voice, data and video transmission possible, Leon

explained.

"We have designed and built a secure, reliable and powerful communications

network capable of ATM (asymmetric transmission mode) connections and LANE

(Local Area Network Emulation) throughout California," said Maury Rosas,

ORCONET's president. "Our Internet services are offered as integrated

solutions or can be tailored to meet individual needs."
