Hypernet is Offering New Promotion through Staples
Cleburne, TX - July 20, 2001-Hypernet Communications and Staples, The Office Superstore, have teamed up to promote Internet service to the local community. Surfing HyperUSA, the Internet brand of Hypernet, will offer 30 days of free Internet access for dial-up accounts through the Cleburne Staples location. HyperUSA will also waive the $25 activation fee for all new Internet accounts.

According to James Cassidy, Staples General Manager, this promotion will benefit Staples customers. "It's an opportunity for our customers to benefit from a local company and support a local industry at the same time," Cassidy said.

Surfing HyperUSA provides customers with DSL, dial-up, ISDN, and T-1 connections to the Internet. With this local ISP, Staples customers will become part of the growing Internet community and benefit from 24-hour, dedicated customer support. With the help of Surfing HyperUSA, Staples customers will not only receive a discount for new dial-up Internet access, they will receive local dial-up access numbers which will save those Internet users money.

"We are excited about the new program and are looking forward to working with Staples to provide the customers with the best service possible."
