SEGNET.COM CONFIRMS CAPACITY TO PROVISION VITTS AND OTHER ORPHANED BROADBAND CUSTOMERS

Enfield, New Hampshire - January 22, 2001 - Responding to the startling announcement this morning by VITTS Networks of its severe business and network downturn, segNET Chief Technology Officer Steve Goldsmith confirmed that segNET.COM stands ready to provide service to soon-to-be orphaned clients of Vitts Networks and other failed broadband providers.

segNET.COM continues to service its prestigious base of corporate and institutional clients with over 99.9% network reliability.

Said Goldsmith, "We are saddened to learn of this unfortunate development and extend our sympathies to the hundreds of former Vitts team members."

"However, in this trying time, our number-one priority is to provide high-end connectivity to orphaned customers. We hope that our efforts will help ensure that those customers who elect to migrate will face the minimum possible downtime."

"Our connectivity services are grounded in the region's most advanced ATM-based fiber optic network featuring the largest aggregate upstream Internet connectivity in northern New England. With our first-rate network engineering staff, I am confident that business and institutional connectivity clients will find a stable new home with us."

segNET.com specializes in providing customized digital communications solutions to the most sophisticated companies in the Northeast. One satisfied client, Wayne St. Jacques, MIS manager of Geographic Data Technology (designated as the year 2000's Best Large Company in New Hampshire to Work for), recently commented: "segNET's multimegabit service has allowed us to scale delivery of data dynamically, providing the necessary bandwidth to fulfill our Internet Mapping and VPN requirements. Network performance is outstanding, and segNET's service has been top-notch."
