Covad and Speakeasy offer 3.0 Mbps Consumer DSL

Speakeasy, a national broadband provider, introduced a consumer DSL service featuring maximum downstream speeds of 3.0 Mbps and upstream speeds of 768 kbps. The service is delivered over Covad Communications' national DSL network.


Speakeasy's Basic 3.0/768 residential service is offered for $69.95 per month for the first three months, $99.95 thereafter. Unlike some competitors, Speakeasy does not port block or limit bandwidth usage. Subscribers have the flexibility to run their own servers (including Linux and Macintosh); and have no restrictions on, or charges for, in-home wireless connections.


Speakeasy is also offering a "Gamers 3.0/768" package that includes at least two static IPs, 10mb of web space, eight email accounts and a year's free subscription to the Mercury FileShack gaming site. http://www.speakeasy.nethttp://www.covad.com
