Internet Access

* Re “Two Cities Accuse PacBell of DSL Discrimination,” Sept. 26

SBC Communications, the parent of Pacific Bell, is leading the competitive broadband industry in providing high-speed Internet access via digital subscriber line (DSL) technology to its valued customers in California and beyond. Through its Project Pronto initiative, the company will spend $6 billion to make DSL available to 80% of its customers by the end of 2002. No one is moving faster to meet the marketplace demand for high-speed DSL Internet access.

As our deployment continues, more and more Pacific Bell customers in Ventura County will enjoy the benefits of DSL at home and at the office.
