InternetNOW
Ascend's ISDN Internet Access Program
for California Businesses
One-stop shopping for the Internet
Setting up a business account to access the Internet can be confusing,
time-consuming and costly. But not with InternetNOW - the first turnkey
solution designed specifically for companies that need high-speed access to
the Internet. Make just a single phone call and get everything you need.
The solution, provided by Ascend and a network of certified Ascend/Pacific Bell
Sales Representatives, includes an ISDN BRI line from Pacific Bell, a business
account from a leading Internet service provider and an Ascend Pipeline 50 ISDN router.
InternetNOW Saves Money
Arranging for an on-ramp to the information superhighway can easily
cost $3,000 or more in equipment charges and installation fees.
With InternetNOW, companies pay no up-front fees. Pacific Bell has waived
its installation fee for an ISDN line. Participating Internet Service Providers
have waived their charges for setting up an Internet business account.
And the Ascend Pipeline 50 is provided for a monthly rental fee of just $95.
In most cases, InternetNOW certified resellers charge no installation fees.
Customers making a two-year commitment to the program are billed monthly for
equipment rental and service charges.
