What are the advantages of DSL over other services?
A. Its advantage over common dial-up Internet access is primarily one of speed. Since our DSL operates at speeds that start at 256 kbps, it’s faster than even dual channel ISDN, and many times faster than even the fastest dial-up modems today. Because our DSL “rides” over an existing phone line in your home, you don’t need a second phone line dedicated to dialing-up the Internet. You can use your computer and access the Internet, and still use the telephone line for incoming and outgoing voice calls. Finally, compared to other “dedicated” Internet services, such as frame relay T1, DSL is generally more cost-effective, while still providing most of the same capabilities.
