If you have ever tried to send an e-mail with a large attachment, like pictures, large spreadsheets, or electronic presentations you understand how a poor upstream connection can really slow down your business. DSL requires that the customer use a DSL modem or router. Also, there must be a similar modem located in the Central Office as a part of our DSL equipment. Together, these two pieces of equipment increase the capacity of the copper phone line between them so it is capable of moving data at extremely high speeds. There are different options available based on the type of service you purchase.
Pricing is different for each of the equipment options.
As with any new product the pricing for DSL has been dropping since it was introduced to the public. Prices at their current level are not expected to change, but it is impossible to predict how market forces and timing will affect prices. Regardless, DSL is an exceptionally low priced dedicated Internet access product. Today, we are unable to use the same line as your telephone service. However, the FCC recently ruled that local phone companies must implement line sharing, which means we will be able to share a phone line with your local provider.
