What is DSL?
A Modem-Based Technology which provides faster, always on, broadband
Internet access through an existing phone line: With E Street Digital Subscriber Line
(DSL) solutions, there’s no need to purchase an additional line to get
high-speed access to the Internet. DSL works with the existing phone
line. The DSL modem and splitter connected to the existing phone
line separate voice signals from high-speed data. The connection to the
Internet is a direct, permanent connection, eliminating the typical
delays due to busy signals or connection time. This allows DSL end-users
to take a voice call and surf the Net, all at the same time! For
more information on DSL review the DSL FAQ here on the E Street site.
E Street DSL solutions offer numerous benefits to the
user including:
- Instant Connection: With E Street DSL
service, one click and you are online. No more waiting to establish
a connection. No more busy signals. - High Speed Data Access: Up to 20 times the
data speed of a traditional 28.8 Kbps analog dial-up modem
connection. - Simultaneous Voice and Data Connections Over
The Same Line: DSL end-users can make voice calls and access
real-time stock quotes on the internet simultaneously or send a FAX
while browsing the World Wide Web. There’s no need for a second
phone line. - More Security: DSL provides a permanent,
dedicated connection. It’s dedicated to the user and no one else,
compared to cable modems which offer access over a shared
cable medium.
