DSL Advantage - High speed Internet access service is up to 15 times faster than dial-up modem connections. Unlike dial-up services, there is no wait to connect and never a busy signal. Also, no need for a second phone line since DSL doesn't interrupt the line. Different from cable or wireless technologies, the high speed connection is always connected to our Internet Backbone (no dialing is required). The high speed connection is always on and available (as long as your computer is on), not shared with other users and also free from over time charges. Perfect for personal web surfing or setting up your own Internet servers.
DSL is a flat rate service with no usage or mileage charges, not like some other existing high bandwidth transport technologies.
Power users and small businesses now have a cost effective solution for high speed connectivity. No need for a second phone line, current users of dial-up accounts can free up their phone line and yet stay connected to the Internet.
Rural Advantage - For our rural customers. DSL technology is improving at a rapid pace but there continues to be restrictions on the distance the DSL signal can travel on a twisted pair of copper wires (phone line). One of the options we now have available for some of our rural customers is our Rural Advantage high-speed wireless Internet. This is a line-of-sight technology, which means that we put an antenna at your house and it sends and receives information from a stationary tower. The signal can be blocked by trees, hills, etc. which may be in that line-of-sight.
To check on availability, pricing, and equipment for this service in your area, please call our business office during our regular office hours.
