MegaPath Hits Milestone

(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
MegaPath, a provider of managed IP data, voice and security services in
North America, announced that its Site-to-Site MPLS VPN service
achieved a major milestone, connecting its 20,000th site.

The MegaPath Site-to-Site MPLS VPN service provides end-to-end Quality
of Service (QoS) on T1/T3 and DSL access and is the only MPLS VPN
service, according to the company, that is also available with cable,
satellite and wireless access. And, it features integrated Security
Gateways that allow customers to access the Internet over the same
circuit as their MPLS VPN without having to purchase, install and
manage a separate Internet connection and firewall.

"As the first to offer MPLS VPNs over broadband, MegaPath's MPLS VPN
market share dwarfs even the largest broadband providers," said Zeus
Kerravala, SVP of Enterprise Research at Yankee Group. "The company
continues to enhance its service with innovative enhancements that
others have failed to match, and is making significant investments to
ensure that its business customers receive the highest possible quality
for their most critical applications. As distributed organizations
search for ways to improve productivity by deploying new applications
like VoIP, MegaPath's fully managed Site-to-Site MPLS VPN service
delivers a high bandwidth, low cost alternative to legacy technologies,
such as Frame Relay."

MegaPath began offering its Site-to-Site MPLS VPN service over
broadband in April 2004 and added end-to-end QoS in April 2005. This
service leverages the company's optical nationwide network and MPLS
routing infrastructure to provide customers with up to five classes of
service to ensure that business-critical data, including financial
transactions, ERP/CRM applications and Voice over IP (VoIP), are
prioritized for the highest level of quality available.

"As a long time MegaPath customer, we look to the company's
Site-to-Site MPLS VPN service to deliver cost effective connectivity
without sacrificing reliability or performance," said Dianne Hurley,

Vice President of Information Technology at The BRIAD Group, the
largest T.G.I. Friday's restaurant operator. "MegaPath's leading-edge
service enables us to deploy the latest bandwidth intensive
applications, which increase employee productivity and customer
satisfaction. We have not seen any other secure connectivity solution
that offers the value we receive from the MegaPath Site-to-Site MPLS
VPN service."

"Unlike other providers that only deliver MPLS VPN services over T1s or
in some cases DSL, MegaPath provides its customers with complete
flexibility to select the right connectivity and bandwidth for each
site over the most expansive nationwide broadband network," said James
Cragg, President and COO at MegaPath. MegaPath has led the industry in
delivering the highest quality MPLS VPN and secure broadband solutions
for the last four years, and with this latest milestone, we are
continuing to outpace our competition. As the rest of the market plays
catch-up, MegaPath continues to offer innovative features, like
integrated Managed Security services, and superior customer support
that make our Site-to-Site MPLS VPN the best service of its kind."
