5 Mbps Business Ethernet Provides Affordable, Higher Bandwidth Business-Class Connectivity

Speakeasy (www.speakeasy.net), a Best Buy company (NYSE:BBY), expanded its Business Ethernet broadband series, with a service offering 5 Mbps of symmetrical bandwidth, providing more than twice the speed of a standard T1 connection at a lower cost per megabit. The service provides small businesses with affordable, higher bandwidth connectivity, which includes 99.99 percent guaranteed uptime and 24x7 customer support. With the addition of 5 Mbps Business Ethernet to its portfolio, Speakeasy offers a full range of services to support virtually any small business broadband requirements.

The new service complements Speakeasy’s 10 Mbps Business Ethernet product, already making an impact on the market since its launch in June of this year. With industry-leading service level agreements and a lower price than a fractional DS3, “Nothing else in the marketplace is really matching Business Ethernet right now,” said Peter Goldman of Goldman Lockey Consulting, a San Francisco-based Speakeasy partner who provides IT consulting services to small businesses.

“The 5 Mbps Business Ethernet offers our small business customers a significant step up in performance from a T1,” said Bruce Chatterley, President and CEO of Speakeasy. “The addition of this new service gives small businesses a full suite of business-class broadband options to meet the increasing demands of a variety of industry segments such as finance, technology, media and other business services.”

Starting at $849 per month, 5 Mbps Business Ethernet is available in over 40 major metropolitan markets including: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New Jersey/New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington DC.
