NETPLEX History and Background  
              NETPLEX 
                was founded in early January 1995 and is a privately-owned, Limited 
                Liability Company located in Hartford, CT, USA. Our mission is 
                to provide cutting-edge Internet access for personal, business, 
                educational and community use.
              In our efforts over the years to become  
                Connecticut's largest independent 
                ISP, we have identified several points that we think distinguishes 
                us from other ISP's in the area:
              
                - We provide the latest state-of-the-art Internet 
                  technology to businesses, individuals, public institutions, 
                  and non-profit organizations.
 
- We offer the highest quality Internet access 
                  available.
 
- We concentrate on offering technical muscle and 
                  know-how, while avoiding marketing hype that does little for 
                  the consumer.
 
- We are honest and open with our customers, and 
                  we offer an unsurpassed support infrastructure which enables 
                  us to resolve problems in a timely manner. 
              
NETPLEX 
                became Connecticut's largest 
                independent ISP because we are in the 
                unique position of having a strong infrastructure and the technical 
                ability to offer competitive services that some our competition 
                cannot. We 
                have what it takes to make the Internet work for you.
              About our Connectivity
              NETPLEX provides nothing less than state-of-the-art 
                Internet connectivity to our customers. We rely upon industry 
                standard vendors for our technical hardware, including Cisco 
                Systems routers.
                
                
              NETPLEX maintains  multiple 
                 Tier 1 (backbone) connections.
                
                
                We also have peering arrangements with local ISPs. 
                Our network was the first in the state to incorporate the public 
                ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network to connect customers. 
              
              
                
                We recognized long ago that 
                it is crucial to ensure that our systems are available at all 
                times, and are capable of scaling to meet the demands 
                of our ever growing customer base. 
              
 The majority of server applications and software 
                that we use are open 
                source, which are based on true open non-proprietary Internet 
                standards. This means that we're not locked into any one software 
                vendor's proprietary formats, and can provide a much broader 
                range of services. 
              
Combine all of these things together, and you have 
                an ISP that knows the business. By using the best technology from 
                the hardware and software realms, we provide custom solutions 
                that fit customer needs to the letter. Why not let us find a solution 
                that's right for you?
