Time Warner Telecom Delivers Metro Ethernet and Collocation Services to Horizon Eye Care

--Supports imaging and patient record applications

--Provides hardened facility protection for business continuity and disaster recovery

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—February 2, 2006—Time Warner Telecom Inc., (NASDAQ: TWTC), a leading provider of managed voice and data networking solutions for businesses, today announced the installation of metro Ethernet services to Horizon Eye Care’s five metro area facilities. The company is a full service provider of eye care services, including laser vision correction services, throughout the Charlotte metro area.

“We chose Time Warner Telecom because they clearly delivered the best value.” said Rod Roeser, chief executive officer for Horizon Eye Care in Charlotte.  “Time Warner Telecom’s metro Ethernet solution has enhanced our ability to run this medical practice more efficiently. Metro Ethernet gives us the capacity and scalability we will need to deploy new ophthalmology imaging, electronic medical record and voice over IP (VoIP) applications.”

Before this service was installed, Horizon Eye Care employees would create a DVD with a patient’s eye exam images and then courier them to other locations. Time Warner Telecom’s 10 Mbps connectivity between five clinics will replace an inefficient, time consuming process with an “on-demand” electronic records transmission process. This will allow a patient to walk into any of the company’s facilities and have their vision records available in that office.

“We are looking to leverage technology, specifically Time Warner Telecom’s metro Ethernet services, to deliver exceptional service to our patients,” added Roeser. “Both from a quality and administrative standpoint, I believe these services will help us achieve that goal.”

Additionally, Horizon Eye Care contracted collocation services at the Time Warner Telecom central office.  Horizon Eye Care will migrate its data center infrastructure to the hardened central office, while maintaining a disaster recover environment at their headquarters location.

“The central office supports business continuity protection by being on the nearby airport’s electrical grid, backup generators and redundant fiber connections,” explained Roeser. “Not only will our network be much more stable and reliable.  Should any of our satellite locations go down, the other sites will not be affected.”

“Our high-capacity, highly-scalable metro Ethernet solution is well received among health care providers that need to move a lot of data,” said Bob Senn, vice president and general manager for Time Warner Telecom in Charlotte. “Health care companies like Horizon Eye Care require high-bandwidth infrastructure to deploy cutting-edge applications needed to deliver the best patient care. Horizon Eye Care also plans to use our fiber to deploy a cost-saving VoIP solution.”
