SDSL FAQ |
|
What is SDSL? Synchronous Digital Subscriber Line - digital
broadband technology over existing copper telephone wire. Has the
advantage of providing both high speed Internet access and voice capability
on the same phone line simultaneously. Standard rates to the client
are 384kbps both upstream and downstream. Simply put you can download
and upload at 38 kilobytes a second. Plus, DSL is "always
on" technology, no more dial-up blues. If your modem/router is on
and your computer is on, you are already connected to the Internet.
What is Type II SDSL? Type II SDSL differs from the standard in three major ways. First the line is provided to us by New Edge Networks, not NV Bell. Second, there is no voice capability to it. Third it offers synchronous rates of 512kbps and higher. It can even duplicate or exceed dedicated T1 performance for less cost depending on your location and need. Is SDSL available where I live? Please call us at 775-888-6013 for standard SDSL pre-qualification checking on your existing NV Bell line. For Type II SDSL please call 775-884-3202 so we can check your location for availability. How fast is it really? Actual download/upload speeds will vary, depending on the load on your line (multiple computers or a single computer downloading multiple files), the load on our systems, the quality of the Internet at large at any given moment and the speed at which the server you are accessing can feed/accept your the files. No given transfer rate is guaranteed - but we provide best effort and our clients frequently attain the best speeds available for their account. |
