Speakeasy Rocks Broadband Competition with iPod? Giveaway to New Subscribers! Leading Broadband Service Provider Offers MP3 Player to New Business DSL or T-1 Customers
SEATTLE ? October 3, 2002 ? Speakeasy, the largest independent broadband service provider in North America, today announced it will give the super-hot iPod? to every new subscriber who signs up for Speakeasy.net business DSL or T-1 services in October. Retailing for $299, the sought-after iPod? is the first MP3 player to pack 1000 songs and 10-hour battery life into a 6.5-ounce package that can be taken practically everywhere. The new model is now Macintosh and Windows compatible and features a wired remote.
?Customers come to Speakeasy for innovation and quality ? the same attributes that make the iPod such a great device. This promotion will bring ?like minds? together and allow us to introduce new customers to our premier broadband services and to a device and passion that is such a natural extension of broadband usage,? said Mike Apgar, CEO of Speakeasy. ?Whether it?s our top-rated customer service, specialty broadband packages or innovative promotions, we continue to blaze trails in a way no other provider can.?
Speakeasy is fast becoming the broadband provider for discerning customers ? especially business-oriented subscribers. Speakeasy allows subscribers to run their own web servers with no port/protocol blocking, has a tremendous record of network reliability and is Linux, PC and Macintosh friendly. Speakeasy boasts the largest national broadband coverage area and its high-performance network has data centers connected to 11 Internet backbones which enables customers to enjoy extreme connection speed for email and web browsing. Speakeasy?s commitment to customers is legendary and its service is top ranked by DSL Reports, the industry?s leading broadband reporting group. Speakeasy is currently rolling out a Direct Account Representative program, which assigns a technically skilled, dedicated rep to every business customer. ?These are not sales managers,? notes Apgar, ?they are individuals trained in tech issues, billing and service enhancements and become the ?dedicated caseworker? for their business clients. This is how we ensure that, for Speakeasy customers, one call addresses any issue.?
Speakeasy service is available in most metropolitan areas within the 48 contiguous states.
