What
is DSL?
- DSL:
Digital Subscriber Line
New technology
enabling more bandwidth than users
have ever had. It runs over existing
copper wires; standard phone lines
between you (the end user) and the
telephone company.
Does
DSL Have Any Security Issues Like
Cable Modems?
- No.
DSL is not a shared network service
like cable modems, which means that
one end-user can not see what's
on a neighbor's computer using DSL.
The service is a private dedicated
connection from the end-user to
the network.
What Does DSL Mean for You?
- DSL
gives you great data transmission
speed at home or at work.
- It's
extremely affordable.
- No
dialing, you're always connected
to the Internet.
What
is ADSL?
-
ADSL: Asymmetric
Digital Subscriber Line.
- This
new technology allows ordinary phone
lines to become high-speed digital
lines for fast Internet access.
- Data
travel faster downstream than upstream
because it is asymmetrical. Is there
an ideal user for DSL?
- Corporate
network access is enabled for telecommuters.
- Multi-player
gaming and other multimedia applications.

who want video on demand and video
catalogs.

new technology allows ordinary phone
lines to become high-speed digital
lines for fast Internet access.
- Data
travel at the same rate downstream
as upstream because it is symmetrical.

companies, People who wish to serve
web pages or streaming media, video

Why
Isn't Everyone Using DSL?
- Distance
limitations: A central office the has DSL equipment must be
within 17,500 feet of your location.
Is DSL Available in My Area?
- Call
the friendly HyperSpeed DSL sales
department at: (800) 777-7317
and include your phone number and
complete address. We will let you
know immediately if you qualify
for DSL.
Does DSL Provide Regular Phone
Service Also?
- HyperSpeed
DSL does provide POTS (Plain Old
Telephone Service) on the DSL line.
This means that your regular phone
service is left alone. That means
you can plug a telephone, fax machine,
regular modem, or answering machine
into the DSL line in addition to
the DSL modem/router. Simultaneous
use of POTS service does not interfere
with your DSL bandwidth.
Can ISDN Lines Converted to DSL?
- ISDN
lines are ideal and can almost always
be converted to DSL.
How Do I Get The Equipment?
The installer
brings it all out with him.
What Are Hardware Costs?

use what is supplied by HyperSpeed
DSL.
Can I Do The Install Myself Instead
of HyperSpeed DSL?
- In
some cases yes, but it is not generally
advisable.
Why Do I Need HyperSpeed DSL if
New Edge Networks Supplies the DSL?
- HyperSpeed
DSL acts as your internet service
provider. New Edge Networks is the
company that acutally provides the
DSL service but none of the extras
such as email, webspace, billing
etc. Also New Edge Networks only
sells through dealers and not direct
to the public. You can think of
it much like: General Motors builds
cars but does not sell them to the
public, you must go through a dealer
to purchase their product.
What
if My DSL Line Goes Down?
-
First check to see if you have a good connection.
- Check
DSL circuits.
- Call
Tech Support at: (800) 854-6010
Will
My POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service)
Go Down Too?
-
Regular
telephone service is rarely affected.
Comparing
DSL, Cable Modems, Analog Modems,
ISDN
- DSL:
Telephone companies providing high
bandwidth services to home and business
using their existing telephone cable
infrastructure. Bandwidths up to
6.0Mbps, provide a greater range
of frequencies enabling more information
to be sent and received.
- Cable
modems: Great access speeds
with some drawbacks. One drawback
is that of being broadcast-oriented,
thus, producing SHARED signals between
subscribers in a specific area.
And, with many subscribers in each
specific area, the bandwidth lessens.
In addition, cable access is only
available in a limited area. There
is no choice regarding providers.
Cable companies are not experienced
as Internet Service Providers.
- Analog
modems: This is the most common
form of data communications available
today but, analog modems are extremely
limited by the telephone company's
voice bandwidth service. Current
analog modems are achieving rates
of only 56Kbps, whereas the slowest
DSL connection is 144Kbps. This
technology uses a telephone service
as is. A digital to analog conversion
for transmission is performed onto
the network and vice versa on the
receiving end.
- ISDN:
This technology has been around
for many years. With the increase
of Internet usage its popularity
is beginning to increase due to
the limitations of analog modems.
It requires a phone company to install
services within their phone switches
to support it's digitally switched
connection service. It provides
digital service in increments of
64Kbps channels. The maximum being
two at a total of 128k. You incur
minute by minute charges. Plan on
phone bills exceeding $500 a month
if you rely heavily on the Internet.
