Internet
access via dial-up modem is the standard for residential users and small to mid
sized businesses over the past few years. Even with today’s 56K modems, it is
unusual to connect at speeds greater than 33.8kps. In comparison, DSL can
achieve speeds 50 x greater. Connection to the Internet must be achieved each
time a user decides to surf or check email. This is a slow and frustrating
process of fighting busy signals and unstable connections. Normally a user must
connect with their same telephone line preventing incoming phone calls. Many
people have installed an expensive second line that will allow voice
conversations while using the Internet. DSL enables your business or home to use
your existing telephone line for voice calls and we install a dedicated data
line (at no additional cost) for Internet usage.
