Are there any per-minute or usage charges associated with DSL?
No. DSL is a dedicated network service that costs the same, regardless of how often it is used or how much data is transferred. This predictability is one of xDSL’s most attractive features. However, on the residential/consumer product, there is a limitation in that a Dynamic IP assignment is used by “forcing” the IP to change after 10 minutes of idle time or after a continuous 8 hour session. There is no need to “dial in” again, as there is no dial in process to begin with. The IP is simply changed after exceeding those limitations.
