Halifax, NS -- Aliant, Atlantic Canada’s leading provider of dial and high-speed Internet service, today announced the full-length on demand video of the upcoming Alanis Morrissette concert in Toronto exclusively for its High-Speed Internet customers. To view the concert on December 16, users simply go to aliant.net Broadband Zone -- an exclusive, free service available to Aliant High-Speed Internet customers that includes on-line news clips, full-length music videos and box-office and video trailers.

Since announcing the on-demand concert on aliant.net last week, visitors had the opportunity to win two tickets to the Feast on Scraps concert on December 12 in Toronto – including airfare, hotel accommodations and $250 spending money – by simply watching an Alanis video on the site. David Maffett from Dartmouth will be heading to Toronto and to the Alanis Morissette concert courtesy of Aliant.

“We visit aliant.net to check local weather and news all the time because it’s convenient and jammed with information – including video clips and entertainment that you don’t find anywhere else,” says Maffett. “Winning the trip to see Alanis Morissette was a fantastic bonus.”

Winners of Alanis CDs and free subscriptions to Aliant’s enhanced broadband service Music on my PC will be notified directly.
