Traditional modem connections take time to connect, sometimes experiencing difficulties and dropping sessions before you are through with them. DSL is an “always on” Internet connection, there is no waiting for the connection and the connection is very robust, rarely interrupted. Traditional modem connections receive a temporary IP (Internet Protocol) number each time they log in to the Internet provider. This makes it difficult to create a network, use certain applications (like PC Anywhere) or to run a server. LavaNet DSL provides you with a static IP address, allowing you to run a Local Area Network (LAN), servers and more. Traditional modem connections have a maximum connect speed of 53.3 Kbps download, 33.6 Kbps upload. DSL connections are much faster. They have maximum connect speeds of up to 7,100 Kbps download and 768 Kbps upload!
