CLEC Makes Progress With Ethernet

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Progress Telecom, LLC, a leading broadband services provider, announced today that it will begin to offer Ethernet Transport with three distinct levels of service. These options will give customers the flexibility to choose the appropriate level of service to fit their requirements.

The services will be available throughout Progress Telecom's Eastern U.S. footprint and leverage the company's robust and reliable network. Voice Grade Ethernet Transport will offer the same service levels as traditional private line services while providing the scalability and flexibility inherent in Ethernet offerings. Data Grade and Basic Grade Ethernet Transport will provide customers with the opportunity to acquire lower-cost connectivity, suitable for less demanding applications.

"Progress Telecom continues to develop product and service offerings to address the demands of our diverse customer base," said Paul Aiello, vice president of sales and marketing with Progress Telecom. "Our carrier, government, and enterprise customers continue to request that we provide these levels of service. We're pleased to deliver another solution to accommodate their needs."
