BELTSVILLE, Md., Dec 17, 2002 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Broadband.com is

Broadband provided high-speed Internet access to more than 160,000 homes
and
businesses across the United States. Broadband.com is the Internet's
leading web
portal for researching and purchasing broadband services. It is uniquely
positioned to help customers find alternative service providers no matter

Inc.,

participating service providers via Broadband.com's user-friendly web
interface.
Business customers also have access to a Solutions Specialist who provides
free
professional consulting and service recommendations based on the user's
specific
needs and technical requirements. "Our experience in the marketplace
allows us
to understand the diverse needs of our customers," says Kmele Foster, Vice
President of Broadband.com. "Many of our customers need more than just
Internet
access; for those that need Static IPs, have multiple locations, or even
specific security and access requirements, we have brought together the
tools
and the partnerships necessary to assist them all."
According to Broadband.com president Joel Sam, the site significantly
reduces
the time needed for business and residential consumers to research
multiple
provider options.

our
customers make the most informed decisions on services that are almost as
critical as a utility for so many Internet users." Customers are
guaranteed the
latest pricing and promotions available from all of the participating
providers.
"There are some extremely competitive offers available for customers who
need an
alternative provider or, who are looking to step up to broadband for the
first
time. Many providers are offering free installation and equipment with
introductory monthly fees as low as $19.99/month," says Sam.
