AlterNet Provides TCP/IP Service in 300 Cities Nationwide


UUNET Technologies, Inc. now offers 56 Kbps TCP/IP service in
approximately 300 cities in the continental United States through
UUNET's AlterNet networking service.  AlterNet's 56 Kbps service gives
the customer nationwide networking capabilities at a fraction of the
cost of setting up their own lines.

56 Kbps service is available at all continental U.S. locations where US
Sprint provides Digital Data Service (DDS).  Sprint provides DDS in
approximately 300 cities, including all major metropolitan areas.

56 Kbps AlterNet service costs $1,000 per month plus the cost of the
local loop.  Other speeds are available at prices ranging from $2,000
to $250 per month.

UUNET offers customers services such as electronic mail and USENET
news, connectivity to thousands of sites around the world, ftp and
telnet access, access to 1.5 Gigabytes of public domain software, and
global connectivity.

For information on UUNET and AlterNet services, contact UUNET at
