                            ARGUSS SHAREHOLDER GROUP
                         CORRECTS LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
              AND URGES SHAREHOLDERS TO REPLACE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

         NEW YORK, NEW YORK, January 8, 2001. Ronald D. Pierce and Kenneth R.
Olsen, shareholders who own approximately 8.6% of Arguss Communications, Inc.
(NYSE: ACX) (the "Company"), announced today that they are making a correction
to their December 28, 2001 letter to the Company's shareholders in connection
with their solicitation to replace the Company's current Board of Directors. The
December 28 letter incorrectly set forth the percentage of the Company's net
sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 represented by AT&T Broadband,
Inc. and Charter Communications, Inc. The letter stated that the percentage was
approximately 64% whereas the correct number is approximately 37%.

         Messrs. Pierce and Olsen continue to pursue their solicitation efforts.
Mr. Pierce stated "I remain convinced that it is time for a change in
management. We urge all Arguss shareholders to sign, date and return our GOLD
consent card and not to sign any BLUE consent revocation card sent to them by
management."

         Messrs. Pierce and Olsen filed a definitive consent statement (the
"Consent Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") on December 21, 2001. Please read the Consent Statement carefully
because it contains important information concerning the consent solicitation.
