56k Upgrade Offer Extended

[Robert Dinse <nanook@eskimo.com>]

     I am extending the offer for a free 56k upgrade with the purchase of a
one-year or two-year 56k dial-up subscription through July. 

     That is to say, all your remaining v.34 time will be upgraded to 56k at no
additional charge with the purchase of a one or two year extension at the 56k
dial access rate.  The one or two-year subscription will then extend your
subscription time one or two-years past your present expiration date.

     The 40MB disk quota that comes with a one-year 56k dial-up subscription
and the 100MB disk quota that comes with a two-year 56k dial-up subscription
will also be effective as soon as your subscription extension payment is
received. 

     The 56k access numbers will also support v.34 modems (28.8k/33.6k) as well
as slower speed modems all the way down to 300 baud (yes I did try it).  With a
v.34 modem they will generally get 2-4k better connect speeds in Seattle, and
even greater improvements in Tacoma. 

     If you have not previously had a trial of the 56k service and would like
a free two week trial, please apply at:

     Put in your existing login and password, select the 56k account type, and
in the "Where did you here about us?" box, put "existing customer" or something
to that effect. 

     We now have 56k and ISDN access in 35 US states, 5 Canadian provinces, and
Tokyo Japan.  So even if you don't plan on upgrading your modem anytime soon or
care about the additional speed you may get with your existing modem, but you
travel, this may be worth while. 

     Access is planned for the following locations:

	In the United States:

	Anchorage, Alaska
	Tucson, Arizona
	Lexington, Kentucky
	Louisville, Kentucky
	Omaha, Nebraska
	Reno, Nevada
	Buffalo, New York
	Syracuse, New York
	Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
	Austin, Texas
	Norfolk, Virginia
	Richmond, Virginia
	Virginia Beach, Virginia

     * There are also some locations coming to Washington state, but I don't
know the details and time frames yet.

	In Canada:

	London, Ontario
	Quebec, Quebec

	Elsewhere:

	Hong Kong, China
	Sidney, Australia
	London, England

     * Actually, I don't know the time frames for any of these.  When dealing
with telco's and port wholesalers, these things tend to happen when they
happen.
