BELL TAKES INTERNET ACCESS HIGH SPEED
By Adnews Staff
Bell Global Solutions of Toronto is going high speed. The company launched its high speed Internet access service this week in Toronto, Ottawa/Hull, Montreal and Quebec City. Bell is also investigating roll out plans for the service. Called Bell Sympatico High Speed Edition, Bell says the service is up to 30 times faster than traditional dial-up access. High Speed Edition offers unlimited access for $39.95 a month. Until March 31, Bell will waive the $14.95 monthly modem rental fee as an introductory offer. During the Christmas season, the service will also be bundled with the Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 99 CD. Sympatico High Speed Edition will be promoted using online and newspaper ads, as well as point of purchase materials. The campaign will be created by Cossette Communication-Marketing of Toronto.
