The new BellSouth FastAccess DSL Internet service delivers residential customers downstream connection speeds of up to 6Mbps and upstream connection speeds up to 512Kbps.

"We are committed to providing the greatest choice and value to our customers -- and with this new service, BellSouth now offers the widest range of broadband options in our market." FastAccess DSL Xtreme 6.0, which will be offered to residential customers for $46.95 per month, will provide customers with a fourth FastAccess DSL service option. The new service is ideal for those who want to download large files like movies, or use online gaming at lightning-fast speeds. BellSouth's tiered approach to broadband already includes the following speeds: - FastAccess DSL Xtreme, with up to 3Mbps downstream X 384Kbps upstream, allows customers to download, surf and game online at lightning-fast speeds, and is available for $42.95 per month. - FastAccess DSL Ultra, ideal for downloading large files, enjoying streaming video and online games at speeds up to 1.5Mbps downstream X 256Kbps upstream, is available for $32.95 per month. - FastAccess DSL Lite, perfect for e-mailing, Web surfing and online banking without the delays and hassles of dial-up, at speeds up to 256Kbps downstream X 128Kbps upstream, is available for $24.95 per month. In the past year, BellSouth has continued to see tremendous growth in its DSL business as more residential and business customers upgrade to broadband.
