October 21, 2002

In an effort to meet the needs of a constantly growing clientele, Lino Solutions Internet de Télébec is pleased to announce the opening of a completely new high-speed service point in the Magdalen Islands. This new service was previously announced by Isabelle Courville, President and Chief Executive Officer of Télébec, during a press conference held last August 9th.

This initiative will make it possible for the Magdalen Islands residents to surf the Internet 30 times faster than with a conventional modem. In addition, businesses will be able to subscribe to LINO’s High-Speed Web! Access service or a new package, Duo Web High-Speed.

"High-speed service is all the rage today, as more and more people are logging onto the world directly. One of the many benefits of high-speed service is definitely being able to talk on the telephone and at the same time surf the Internet, download files, animations or images and send faxes," says Bernard Gauthier, Chief General Manager – Internet Service.

To find out more about the benefits of high-speed Internet access service or for full information on points of sale, check out LINO’s website at www.lino.com or call 1 888 730-LINO (5466).
