New Edge and Covad Enter National Frame Relay over DSL Deal

New Edge Networks and Covad Communications expanded their existing partnership to enable New Edge to sell Frame Relay services over DSL throughout their combined national footprint. The companies said Frame Relay over DSL would provide end-user cost savings of up to 50% over traditional Frame Relay services. The combined New Edge Networks and Covad DSL network spans over 2,300 central office locations, representing the largest national DSL carrier footprint in the country.

  • In April 2003, Covad Communications and New Edge Networks entered into resale agreements that enable each company to expand their coverage areas and customer reach for DSL and T1 services. Under the deal, Covad expands its reach to 600 New Edge Networks central offices in small and midsize cities, including eight new states that increase Covad's footprint to 43 states. New Edge Networks expands its DSL and T-1 reach into the Covad network that covers more than 1,800 central offices in 96 of the top metropolitan statistical areas.
