York, PA -- August 15, 1996 --
The Networks, Incorporated announces the immediate availability of high-speed ISDN access for all of its commercial customers in the Lancaster, Harrisburg and York markets.
Yes, we finally have ISDN in the York & Lancaster markets. While Bell Atlantic has enabled us to offer ISDN access to our customers in the greater Harrisburg and Lancaster markets, York has been patiently waiting, and waiting, and waiting....
We've completely overhauled our entire network to provide all-digital services at our points-of-presence throughout the region says David Dreyer, CEO. We completed our upgrade to a new switch fabric on our backbone to accommodate full PRI (23 channel) ISDN, Frame Relay, Switched-56 and digital/analog modem access. The tarriff for this service doesn't presently allow for unlimited access unless you're located in our service region, which is a big plus for our customers. Business-class users will find this to be a fast, economical alternative to analog dial-up service.
