Integra Telecom Launches Industry-Leading Broadband Internet in Colorado

Only Telecom Provider to Offer Multi-Circuit High-Speed Internet on Existing
Network Infrastructure
DENVER--(Business Wire)--
Integra Telecom Inc., a facilities-based, integrated communications provider, is
now offering Broadband Internet in its Colorado service areas. The new product
offers enterprise-level Internet access at rates that fit the small- and
medium-sized business budget.

Integra`s Broadband Internet products are the only offering of their kind among
competitive telecom providers in Integra`s territory today. The services combine
the bandwidth potential of Integra`s metropolitan network infrastructure with
two phone-grade copper lines to deliver download speeds of 5, 15 and 25 Mbps and
upload speeds of up to 2 Mbps.

"Integra`s Broadband Internet is custom designed for small-to-midsized
businesses, offering unprecedented speeds that were previously reserved for
larger, enterprise level businesses," Ken Worcester, senior vice president of
Integra Telecom of Colorado. "We`re utilizing the same copper wire technology
that businesses have relied on for more than a century to offer Broadband
Internet solutions at an affordable price point for Colorado businesses."

Quick facts on Integra Telecom`s Broadband Internet services:

* Dedicated bandwidth: Integra`s customers enjoy access to one of the finest
proprietary, business-only networks in the western United States, uniquely
designed to provide maximum bandwidth for businesses of all sizes. Integra
Telecom`s Broadband Internet delivers Internet access on dedicated circuits with
bandwidth reserved exclusively for them. Integra customers leverage the power of
this network and are never required to share bandwidth with other local
businesses or residential users like that of other technologies and local
networks.
* Availability: Integra`s new Broadband Internet service has broad availability
since it relies on Integra`s extensive metropolitan fiber networks together with
the embedded copper wire pair technology that already has extensive coverage to
businesses. Many businesses that do not have direct connections to other
land-based technologies, such as fiber or cable, will find the availability of
this service appealing in the Colorado metropolitan areas of Denver, Colorado
Springs, Boulder and Ft. Collins.
* Faster file transfer: Integra`s Broadband Internet services offer a marked
difference in upload and download speeds, providing superior access for remote
users.
* Price scalability: Designed for the business community, Integra`s Broadband
Internet services are offered at multiple speeds and price points, allowing
businesses to choose the service that meets their needs at prices that fit their
budget. Depending on the location, Integra`s Broadband Internet service is
available from download speeds of 5 Mbps to 25 Mbps at a range of $79.95 to
$99.95.
* Professional installation and care: As always, all Integra products and
services are installed and supported by locally based customer care
representatives and technicians.
