NEW YORK, Jan 16, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --

Metromedia Fiber Network, Inc. (MFN), the leading provider of optical communications infrastructure solutions, starts 2003 with the announcement of its new Gigabit Ethernet service, MFN Metro Gig-E, a private, direct fiber optic Internet access solution. Already boasting several top tier customers from sales in its pre-launch stage, MFN Metro Gig-E offers customers top quality performance and always available 1000 mb/sec Internet capacity - making it a cost effective optical alternative to copper circuits.

This new service combines MFN`s valuable metropolitan fiber optic network with its top-rated Internet backbone, creating a high-capacity, cost-effective solution that is unmatched in the industry. MFN`s Metro Gig-E solution is designed to seamlessly absorb usage bursts without latency to give customers the capability to meet high-bandwidth demands for mission critical, content-intensive and streaming media applications. Customers currently using DS-3`s or multiple T-1`s for Internet access will realize the benefits of this solution immediately.

Leveraging its metropolitan fiber network, MFN uses a pair of dedicated fiber strands to assure transport security for MFN Metro Gig-E customers. These fiber strands connect customers to MFN`s optical Internet backbone, creating a 100%-private optical solution that eliminates metro bandwidth bottlenecks, and the additional technology, complexity and cost associated with managing multiple network access providers.

`MFN Metro Gig-E(TM) service allows customers to migrate to a high performance optical platform at a very affordable price,`said Andrew Schroepfer, President and Founder, Tier 1 Research. `This product differentiates itself in the market by connecting customers directly to the MFN IP backbone over private metro fiber providing virtually limitless bursting capabilities.`

`Our Metro Gig-E solution allows us to meet an immediate need of our customers by using our existing infrastructure,`said John Gerdelman, president and Chief Executive Officer, MFN. `This is just the latest example of how our metropolitan fiber and IP networks can be used to create new, exciting and in-demand products. We are looking forward to rolling out our Metro Gig-E solution and continuing to provide our customers with cost-effective, high-performance alternatives to traditional services.`
