ISWest Grabs A Bigger Piece of the Verizon DSL Pie. Meanwhile they prove that e-companies can make money the old fashioned way, by earning it.

Agoura Hills, California (September 5, 2001) - ISWest, one of Southern California's largest and most successful Business-to-Business ISP's, today announced it has installed a new connection to Verizon (Nasdaq:VZ) which will speed up its current DSL subscriber base and allow tons of room for new customers. Bob Johnson, chief technical officer at ISWest. Says, "The new Verizon DS3 can hold up to 5000 DSL customers, depending on the usage of each customer." In addition, ISWest now offers new Verizon DSL speeds, making data fly so fast, customers will need a parachute while browsing the web.

Choosing ISWest over Verizon direct means that customers can minimize their chances of being caught in the shuffle. Director of Sales and Marketing at ISWest, Drew Kaplan, confirms that "ISWest’s DSL is more reliable than Verizon Online itself and others, because we manage our network much closer. We cater to all types of business DSL customers and we offer a higher Service Level Agreement. This is not a telephone company trying to turn fast profits; we are old guard Internet experts turning steady profits. It’s all we do and we’re good at it."

Digital Imagination, a local web development company, has been with ISWest for over five years. President and CEO of Digital, Craig Manning, highlighted the benefits: "The thing I like best about ISWest is that not only do their lines get progressively faster but, they have multiple backbones that enables them to reroute in case of failure. It’s like switching your service temporarily without having to spend twelve hours on the phone talking to a guy that doesn’t know a computer from a toaster."
