How does ElkNet DSL work?
State Long Distance delivers ElkNet DSL over your telephone line by combining ElkNet Internet and dial tone together using a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM). Therefore, you must have local telephone service from State Long Distance Telephone Company. A DSL splitter (or filter) is installed at your location to separate the DSL from the normal dial tone. At the Network Interface Device (NID or Demarc) which is usually mounted outside your home, one inside wire is then extended to your DSL modem jack and the rest of the inside wiring is connected normally for dial tone.
