AT&T BROADBAND OFFERS HOME NETWORKING FOR AT&T BROADBAND INTERNET USERS
Company teams with Linksys to offer easy-to-use solution

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - AT&T Broadband Internet customers wanting to maximize their high-speed cable Internet connections can link multiple home PCs together with the company's easy-to-install wired and wireless home networking solutions, AT&T Broadband said today. The home networking hardware solutions are being provided and supported by Linksys, a leader in networking, Internet sharing, and mobile computing.

According to a survey entitled "Connecting the Home: Home Networking Market Forecast and Analysis, 1999-2004," about 22 million U.S. households have a second computer. Home network users discover that when they link multiple home computers they get more use from their second PC. In a networked environment, multiple users can share a single Internet connection that provides each computer with the high-speed and always-on features that customers receive from AT&T Broadband Internet. With a home network, users also can share files instantly without having to carry disks between computers as well as share printers, scanners and other devices.

"AT&T Broadband's home networking solution is a major step in evolving the broadband home," said Scott Russell, product director for AT&T Broadband. "At AT&T Broadband, we're committed to offering innovative solutions to our customers so they can make the most of their broadband connections." AT&T Broadband Internet users can link up to five computers via a wireless or wired solution. Users may want to install the 802.11b Wi-Fi certified wireless home network if they have computers in different rooms or want the flexibility to roam anywhere at home. The wireless solution is the easiest way to get a home network up and running. Wired solutions are best for users who have multiple computers and devices in one room or need Fast Ethernet speeds of 100mbps between computers.

Self-installation typically takes about 30 minutes for the experienced computer user. Linksys provides free 24x7 technical support for customers who need assistance.

"This is an exciting time to see home networking become part of AT&T Broadband's integrated solution. Providing a solution together demonstrates both company's commitments to offering a complete package that enhances the broadband experience," said Linksys vice president Janie Tsao. AT&T Broadband's home networking solution can save users money because the solution requires the user to have only one cable modem. Customers pay about $45.95 for AT&T Broadband Internet service and the lease of a cable modem. Customers can add up to four additional computers for $4.95 each. The additional fee gives each computer a unique IP address allowing simultaneous access to the Internet.

Customers can learn about and purchase the home-network solution online at http://www.attbroadband.com/homenetworking . The cost of the solution can vary depending on the number of computers and the type of solution a customer chooses. A wireless home network solution linking two computers will cost less than $350. Currently, customers receive free shipping when they order online and typically receive their package within 48 hours.
