What is ADSL?

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a fast-growing new technology that converts existing twisted-pair copper lines into high-speed, high-bandwidth digital lines.

Why switch to ADSL?

No need for an additional phone line as you can be on the phone and the internet at the same time - this will save you $$ if you currently have an extra phone line.
No local call costs as you don't dial up to the internet (you are always connected) - this will save you $$ every month.
No long term contracts
Speeds 5-25 times faster than a conventional 56kbps modem
Simultaneous Internet and voice/fax capabilities over a single telephone line
Uninterrupted, high-speed Internet access that's always on-line
No waiting time to connect - you're online as soon as your pc is on
Receive almost instant alerts on your PC screen as soon as someone sends you an email
