SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. - More consumers and businesses in the state can enjoy the benefits of high-speed Internet access now that Verizon Online has expanded its availability in seven additional Wisconsin communities.

Verizon Online DSL is now available in Athens, Brodhead, Edgar, Lomira, Oakfield, Pleasant Prairie and Unity as a result of the company's most recent expansion and upgrade of its local telecommunications network.

Currently, Verizon Online is offering its basic consumer DSL service for $29.95 per month in an annual service plan or when purchased as part of a package of Verizon local and long-distance services. This service offers a maximum connection speed of 1.5 Mbps (megabits per second) downstream and 384 Kbps (kilobits per second) upstream.

Verizon Online has also enhanced its DSL service by introducing a super-fast maximum Internet connection speed of 3 Mbps (megabits per second) downstream and 768 Kbps (kilobits per second) upstream for as low as $39.95 per month for qualifying customers in an annual service plan or when purchased as part of a package of calling services. In addition, the company has lowered the cost of its entry-level business service.

Consumer DSL customers who sign up for DSL service for one year currently receive a free DSL home gateway router, which is a combination DSL modem and wireless or wireline router.

"If you've wanted DSL service from us in the past, but it wasn't in your neighborhood, now's the time to check with us on current availability," said Paul Fuglie, Verizon's vice-president - regulatory and governmental affairs for Wisconsin.

DSL subscribers can have news in an instant, share digital photos, quickly send e-mail attachments, download movies and play interactive multi-media games in real time. DSL-powered businesses can increase productivity by spending less time doing research, paying bills online and e-mailing orders to suppliers.

Not only is Verizon DSL available to more people than ever before, but Verizon can help customers make the most of high-speed access to the Internet or other broadband services. With a home network, customers can have additional security and connect several computers to one DSL connection to access the Internet at high speeds. A home network also lets subscribers share files and printers among several computers.
