ActionNet
Broadband Service What is DSL? Technically speaking, ActionNet DSL is really Asymmetric DSL. ADSL is available up to 15,000 feet from a telephone company’s central office (CO). While ADSL can generally be installed up to 15,000 feet, this general rule does not guarantee that we will be able to install the circuit or that the circuit will perform at a reasonable level. Our ADSL service is also referred to as RADSL (Rate-Adaptive ADSL). The term "rate-adaptive" means the technology adapts to your individual line conditions, e.g., your specific distance from the CO and the quality of the copper line that serves your DSL. Speeds expressed with ADSL packages are the maximum speeds your line may achieve. Although we will do everything within our power to provide you with the best possible service, due to the nature of the technology, ADSL services do not come with a service level guarantee. The actual speed is determined by both distance & copper quality, and installations resulting in "best business effort" speed (the maximum achievable speed based on technical conditions prior to install) will be considered successful. How fast is DSL? Unlike modems, whose speed can depend on how good your phone lines are, DSL gives you your own line. Even the slowest version of DSL is still nine times faster than a 28.8k modem. DSL can have speeds up to 1.5mps (equal to a T1 line or 30 times faster than a 56k dial-up) for a fraction of the cost of a traditional T1 line. DSL is great for home or business. DSL is 'always on' meaning you never have to disconnect from the Internet. No more bad connections and slow download rates due to poor phone lines. Not only that, you won't be tying up your phone line while on line. With ActionNet DSL you can be on-line and talking on your phone at the same time. So if you have a 'need for speed' and your tired of all those busy signals, dropped lines or poor download rates, DSL is the choice to make. You don’t have to be a large company to afford fast, high-performance Internet access. DSL offers full-time, high-speed Internet connectivity. DSL service is ideal for home, small businesses and large businesses alike. ActionNet DSL offers connectivity for both a single PC and a network environment.
Does my telephone line qualify? Can I afford DSL? If you are using a dial-up connection and have a dedicated phone line for the internet then you are likely paying over $40 already for a dial-up connection ($20.00 for internet & $25 for phone line). For just a few more dollars you can be enjoying a ActionNet DSL connection that is up to 50 times faster. DSL pricing starts at just $32.00 for your home or business use.
What are my choices and how much does it cost? We offer DSL in two different areas, depending on which Telephone Company provides you with service. Each company has the same, high speed DSL technology, but differ slightly in billing and installation procedures. Please click on the appropriate phone company for service and rate information.
