Due to the involvement of the phone company, installs sometimes can take extra time. If 120 days have passed and you do not want to wait any more, you may cancel the contract and get your deposit back, or you can continue to wait for the service to be installed. Although we do not anticipate any service interruptions, if you ever experience problems with your DSL service, BestWeb will provide you with free dial-up access until the problem is resolved. Pricing is available for connecting more than five computers. For more information on connecting multiple computers, click here .
Cable modems offer service over a shared cable.
Bandwidth is shared among all the users connected to this cable line, and access speed will therefore vary, perhaps dramatically, as more users in a neighborhood get online. With a DSL connection, your bandwidth is yours - in terms of how much data you can send and receive and in terms of who sees it. Their computers are configured to examine these packets, determine that they are not intended for their place on the network, and discard them. What this means is that your neighbors are privy to your Internet requests when using a cable modem. DSL, which is a private dedicated connection from you to the network, eliminates this concern.
