What are the key differences between Southwestern Bell Internet Services and online services?
Anyone who uses an online service primarily for e-mail and the World Wide Web will find an enormous performance difference between our direct Internet connection and the Internet connection provided by an online service. Most online service providers have older networks with a large number of 28.8 Kbps or slower dial-up ports. In contrast, we offer 56K Internet access, and every one of our ports also handles 33.6 Kbps connections. Further, online services typically provide their Internet access through an Internet gateway, which significantly reduces the performance. Our direct Internet connection is going to give you the fastest throughput available. We also offer even faster performance (up to 128 Kbps) with our ISDN service.
