Must a user pay both New Edge Networks and their Internet service provider for DSL service?
No. All charges are included in the price paid to the Internet service provider (ISP). New Edge Networks sells the DSL service to the ISP, which in turn sells it to their customers. Can everyone get DSL? A user’s telephone line must be qualified to carry the DSL signal. DSL technology uses an electric signal over the copper line. Over long distances these signals tend to face and distort. Therefore, longer distance means slower speeds. Also, telephone companies have been putting equipment into their networks that help voice traffic, but hurt data signals. If this equipment (load coils, bridge tap, or pair gain) is on the line DSL will not work. Your ISP or New Edge Networks will perform a loop-or telephone pathway-qualification on each DSL order to determine if the phone line will qualify to carry DSL.
