"We are committed to providing customers with the greatest choice and value as they make their broadband decisions. And with this new service, we now offer the widest range of broadband options in the market."

FastAccess DSL Xtreme 6.0 adds a fourth choice for consumer from Bell South's tiered menu of DSL services. These services now include the 256 kbps FastAccess DSL Lite, FastAccess DSL Ultra with 1.5 Mbps of bandwidth, and the 3 Mbps FastAccess DSL Xtreme. The new service will be available in the fourth quarter of this year.
