Vancouver, British Columbia – Thursday, November 10th, 2005 – Peer 1 Network Enterprises, Inc. (TSX-V: PIX) today announced that Vonage Canada has selected Peer 1 to provide Internet infrastructure for Vonage Canada’s Internet phone service roll-out to a growing number of Canadian homes and businesses. 

Vonage Canada and its parent company Vonage Holdings Corp. currently supply more than 1,000,000 customers in North America with telephone service over the Internet, providing customers with a reliable network and secure infrastructure for dependable, trustworthy service.  To further expand its network, Vonage Canada sought to partner with an Internet network and infrastructure provider that could provide world-class service uptime, full redundancy and disaster recovery solutions to minimize service disruptions.  As consumer acceptance of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) grows, and more people subscribe to Vonage Internet Phone Service, Peer 1 Network’s scalability across numerous locations becomes even more critical.

“Vonage is widely recognized as a pioneer in the VoIP marketplace.  We are pleased that Vonage Canada has recognized Peer 1’s ability to meet their needs and scale future growth to provide their customers with the consistent reliability they require,” said Geoff Hampson, president and chief executive officer of Peer 1. “Peer 1 holds a unique position in the Canadian Internet infrastructure landscape in terms of being able to provide Vonage Canada with industry-leading network performance and top-quality customer care combined with data center space and expandable network capability any time it is needed.”

“The general public expects and demands high-quality, reliable telephone service.  Service interruption is unacceptable,” said Bill Rainey, president of Vonage Canada.  “For that reason, we decided that Peer 1 Network offered the best Internet network performance as well as the infrastructure that would allow us to deliver a reliable, scalable service to our customers -- anytime and anywhere.”
