I got this email from Speakeasy today. I hope this doesn't mean the end of one of the few broadband options with friendly terms of service. Covad's TOS for residential service was not as unequivocally user-friendly as Speakeasy's; neither company has emphasized marketing to residential customers for some time. Most of Speakeasy's last-mile services were coming from Covad anyway, so the merger makes sense in that regard. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Important News from Speakeasy Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2010 19:41:35 -0400 From: Bruce Chatterley <information-Gl5qaZz6ULitklLLTrIj/Q at public.gmane.org> Reply-To: Bruce Chatterley <information-Gl5qaZz6ULitklLLTrIj/Q at public.gmane.org> To: <mark-OGhnF3Lt4opAfugRpC6u6w at public.gmane.org> June 10, 2010 Dear Speakeasy Customer, Today is an important day for Speakeasy. Speakeasy has reached an agreement to join with Covad Communications Company, a leading national provider of IP broadband services in North America and MegaPath Inc., a national provider of voice, data, security, managed services and VPN services. This new entity combines Speakeasy?s expertise in smaller business voice and data communications; MegaPath?s wide selection of products and value-added services with Covad?s robust network infrastructure. By combining these market leaders, the merger promises to provide a superior selection of cost-effective IP voice, data, and security solutions for all segments of the business market. Customers have been asking us to take a broader role in helping them meet their evolving communications needs, and the new company will accomplish this as the only managed service provider capable of providing a full range of Internet, voice, security, and VPN services, backed by a nationwide network. The resources of the combined company will enable us to expand our service offerings and provide more choices and value for you. The relationship with our customers has always been the most important aspect of our business. Through our partnership with you, we have grown over the last 15 years to become one of the country?s leading providers of voice and data communications. This merger will add additional resources and capabilities to expand our investments in serving you. We plan to deliver new value added service offerings, expanded network coverage, and innovative new support tools, in addition to all of the benefits and products you currently receive from Speakeasy. We have some exciting plans for the future, and we look forward to our continued relationship. We will continue to update you regarding this event. For more information, please read the press release posted on www.speakeasy.net/press. As always, we appreciate your trust and support, and we can?t wait to show you the exciting future we have planned. Sincerely, Bruce Chatterley President and CEO Speakeasy ============================================== You are receiving this email because you are a Speakeasy Customer.
