		****** THE NEW IMPROVED APK NET LTD. ******
     ****** Far Fewer Busy Signals! T1 Speeds! Improved Access! ******
		****** Akron and Canton POP's coming ******
			 ****** ISDN Coming ******
	     ****** Brand New $29/$29/29 Plan for TCP/IP******

APK Net Ltd., an Internet Service Provider headquartered in Cleveland, OH,
is very pleased to announce that our Cleveland POP has moved from the
north- east corner of the city to the Keith Building, downtown.  This move
enables us to obtain a T1 connection to the Internet backbone, vastly
reducing connection delays, and also enables us to add phone lines as
needed (our capacity is now double what it was before), which will
eliminate busy signals.  We will soon be able to offer ISDN access to those
who want it, and we can offer connections up to 56K and T1 (right now we
only support low-volume T1, though.)

We completed the move at the beginning of the week and after fixing some
trouble with Ameritech's installation of our rotary, we are ready to serve
you.

We are also on track to open POP's in Akron and Canton. We have been waiting
for phone circuits to be available in that area and expect to have service
there by the end of the month.

We are also offering a new plan: $29/setup then $29/month for 29 hours of
SLIP/PPP connect time; no time restrictions. Our other plans are still
available. Normal charges of $2/hr apply after the initial 29 hours each
month. 

You can use graphical software like Mosaic or Netscape to connect to APK,
and you can elect to have charges billed on your credit card. However,
unlike Netcom and some other providers, we don't lock you into any
particular software and you do NOT need a credit card to make payments.
And our customer support staff and tech support staff actually respond
when you ask them a question. :) APK's people have experience on the Net,
and we will be happy to share it with you.

On behalf of Zbig Tyrlik, the system administrator, and Ian, Yaser, Dan
and myself (the tech support people), as well as customers and friends
who have helped APK grow throughout the years, I want to thank everyone
for their patience. (I don't get special privileges, I dial in too... so
I know how you felt!) I am excited by the growth of the Net in general and
of APK in particular, so I am looking forward to what the future holds!

APK: For Internet connectivity, there still is no other choice, Ohio!!
