For a quick introduction to networking, take a look at Networking 101 . There are a variety of ways we can get you connected. Leased Line Service - Using dedicated wires installed by the phone company. DSL - allows you to have high speed access with continuous connectivity to your home or business at a fraction of the costs of traditional dedicated connections. In some situations this can be substantially less expensive than an unshared line, with only a modest loss of performance.
Setup costs are usually lower for frame relay, and there are no mileage charges.
This offers predictable bandwidth and lower latency than frame relay or DSL, but the setup charges are higher and there is a monthly mileage charge. Ethernet - Customers within the Westin Building may choose a direct Ethernet connection. We can generally reach floors 16 and up using 10BaseT - lower floors must connect via coax or fiber. ISDN - digital telephony. Each line gives you 2 channels which can be used for voice or data.
