DSL provides blazing-fast Secure Internet access for web surfing,
MP3 downloading, and for sending/receiving large data files. Delivered right through a regular telephone line,
data rates can vary from 144Kb to 8Mb per second depending on the type and cost of the service. DSL can be delivered
to both homes and to businesses.
It’s also a service that you don’t have to dial into… Just turn on your PC, open a browser, and you’re ready to
surf. (No more hearing those annoying beeps and tones, then waiting to be connected…you’re always connected!) Beyond
Internet access, DSL also has the ability to carry additional phone lines and entertainment services using the
same pair of wires.
A DSL connection brings the Internet to life. DSL means high-speed Internet access up to 100 times faster than
today's dial-up modems. And DSL delivers always-on Internet access. What can you do with a DSL powered Internet
connection? Here are just some of the ways:
Cruise the Web with the top down. High-speed Internet access changes your Internet experience. The Internet becomes
an essential tool for doing a growing number of household activities such as shopping, banking, bill paying, investing,
customer support, and learning. High-speed DSL Internet access delivers dramatic productivity gains for businesses
as employees do more in less time.
Get instant Internet. An always-on DSL connection means the Internet is instantly available anytime on your desktop.
. No more squealing modem connections that seem to take forever. No more busy signals and no more disconnects.
Move files fast. High-speed means you can deliver digital content economically over the Internet. Downloading a
10MB file, for example, takes 32 minutes using a 56 Kbps. Using a 784-Kbps DSL connection, downloading a 10MB file
takes less than 2 minutes. That's a half an hour of your time to do something else.
Telecommute in the fast lane. DSL is a powerful tool for making you feel like you're sitting at a desk in the corporate
office even though you're working remotely. Using virtual private networking (VPN) technology over the Internet,
telecommuters can do work on the Internet as well as securely link up to the company network.
Get software. The Internet is rapidly becoming the software distribution medium of choice. You can quickly buy
your software online and download it. Software updates are quick and painless.
Deliver real-time information. Get live information feeds to your desktop, such as news, stock quotes, and sport
scores streaming down to your PC in real time.
Add voice and video to your Internet communications. The high-speed and always-on capabilities of DSL make voice
and video conferencing a more practical, everyday tool.
