Cavalier Telephone, a facilities-based CLEC based in Virginia, began offering a DSL service priced at $25 per month with free modem, free installation and no contract. Cavalier recently entered into an agreement with Paradyne to deploy ADSL2 technology for faster link speeds. The company said it believes its DSL price to be the lowest in the U.S.
Cavalier has just completed a significant upgrade in its Baltimore/Washington DC network to a fully redundant fiber backbone. The network upgrade eliminates Cavalier's dependence on any third-party carrier throughout the region.
