DSL Services Complement Gateway's Web Hosting and E-Commerce Services,
Giving Customers Turnkey Solutions to Take Their Businesses to the Web
SAN DIEGO, July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Gateway Inc. (NYSE: GTW) expands its
eServices for small business customers with the addition of high-speed DSL
Internet access service plans, the first in a series of high-speed broadband
connectivity services for business clients. Gateway also offers a full range
of Web hosting and e-commerce plans, providing small and medium businesses
with turn-key solutions that help them take their business to the Web. With
DSL service available in top business markets across the United States, small
businesses can affordably replace their dial-up connection with a DSL line,
connecting an entire office to the Internet over a single dedicated phone
line.
With a high speed connection up to 14 times faster than the highest speed
modem and up to six times faster than ISDN, DSL's "always on" connection
eliminates the need for "dialing" into the Internet to access e-mail or the
Web. With DSL's blazingly fast speed, users can quickly view complex web
pages, send large e-mail attachments or download files without the wait
associated with dialing up to the Internet. An added benefit, DSL dedicated
connection can be shared by multiple users without impacting regular phone
service.

high-speed Internet access with single-rate plans that help simplify the
service selection process. Beginning today, businesses can call Gateway's

NOTE: Because DSL speeds vary from location to location, the type of plan
purchased and distance from the nearest phone exchange, connection speeds can
vary from 144K Kbps up to 1.5 Mb. DSL typically takes from 4 to 6 weeks to be
installed, from the time the order is placed with Gateway. DSL service
requires customers to have an Internet Service Provider.
