Speakeasy Announces New Business VoIP Customers

SEATTLE, WA—March 14, 2006—Long known for its superior broadband connectivity for businesses, Speakeasy's Business VoIP (Voice over IP) service is the company's fastest-growing product and is far exceeding the company's growth projections. Speakeasy Business VoIP has been the choice for small and medium businesses because it helps them reduce their communications costs, increase productivity with versatile feature sets and, when combined with Speakeasy Broadband, simplifies vendor management to a single solution.

Forward-thinking technology companies like DocuSign, Spam Arrest, and Cleverset, Inc. were among the first adopters of Speakeasy Business VoIP. Multi-location manufacturers, entertainment and media companies, as well as professional services firms like Rodem International and Design Integrations, have also been quick to recognize the many benefits.

• DocuSign "Voice over IP is more efficient and cost-effective, and the feature set is much more extensive than anything you can get with a POTS system. Our Speakeasy service has been extremely reliable, so now we have the confidence to try things we wouldn't even have dreamed of in the past."
• Spam Arrest "Speakeasy's solutions allow us to focus on our core business, without wasting our time and resources on dealing with unreliable connectivity and maintaining our own phone system. The advanced VoIP features, like auto-attendant, voicemail to email, and remote office capabilities allow us to conduct our business in a professional and efficient manner, whether we are in the office or on the road, and it's all manageable from an easy to use web interface."
• Flying Lab Software "Speakeasy Business VoIP gives small companies like ours the capabilities of a PBX solution for just a small, up-front investment and none of the management headaches. There's no solution like it."
• Pace International "We'll save thousands a year in long distance, and since the service is hosted, we'll eliminate all the headaches associated with maintaining phone system hardware in-house. When you combine all these benefits, switching to Speakeasy VoIP rapidly becomes a no-brainer."
• Capstone Granite "Speakeasy Business VoIP offers tremendous flexibility and low capital costs on the introduction. You can buy toward the future rather than being simplistic in your thinking. As we open our other facilities, the cost advantage will be substantial."
• Gorilla Tango "If I didn't know Speakeasy was reliable, I wouldn't be doing it. With Speakeasy we are able to get full-featured broadband services at a fraction of the cost of inferior services. This is a huge value to small business like ours."
