Especially for businesses, some applications and some individual access technologies may require you to purchase additional equipment or software. In some instances, there may be a cost to repair imperfect lines to enable service.

Analog modems were designed to work on regular telephone lines and usually operate at speeds ranging from 28.8K to 56K. The main difference between analog and DSL modems is that an analog modem works over voice frequencies. It can't handle the higher - and much faster - digital frequencies. DSL actually takes a load off the voice channels by using the higher, non-voice frequencies.

Your DSL speed capability is determined by line conditions and distance from the local Qwest Central Office. Pre-qualify your line to find out your line's ability. Speed levels are 256/256Kbps,1.5/1Mbps, 5/1Mbps, 7/1Mbps.

DSL is typically an asymetric offering, with higher download speeds than upload speeds. Typical download speeds are 512kbps - 1.54Mbps and typical upload speeds are 128kbps - 512kbps. Cable modems are also asymetric, with similar upload speeds to that of DSL. The download speeds are often higher, ranging up to 3Mbps in many cases. It really depends on what the local DSL & Cable providers are selling, however.

Typical residential offerings usually have a maximum of 1.5Mbps (1.5 megabits per second), but special connections for home and office can be obtained to go well above that. There are two limiting factors that are in place for most connections: the modem and the wiring used to transfer the signal from the modem to the computer. Most home use DSL modems are limited to 10Mbps on the user (LAN) side.

Our system works over standard HTTP or HTTPS (80 or 443 ports) and does not use any incoming connections. It should work without requiring port mapping / forwarding rules on any network where you can access web pages with browsers like Internet Explorer or Netscape. If you encounter any problems connecting to our service, let us know and we will find a solution. A.I can't log into my account. Make sure you have spelled everything correctly.

No. DSL and Wireless services give you greater "bang for the buck", and come in speeds up to 3.0M, but you may not be able to get DSL or Wireless at your location. We recommend ISDN for locations where DSL and Wireless are not available and T-1 is not needed or affordable.

This is a very big question, and very hard to answer. Cable has potential to go faster than DSL, but often depends upon location. DSL, however, is consistent in speed in most locations. Overall, it really depends what will work best for you. They are both great choices but if your in a good location, Cable is the best bet. Otherwise, DSL might be a better option.

Traditional modems need to dial a phone number, authenticate and log on to our network before you can access the Internet. DSL is a "always on" connection with no need to log on every time you need to use the Internet. Traditional V.90 modems have a maximum download speed of 53.3 kbps with a maximum upload speed of 33.6 kbps. Traditional modems are also greatly influenced by phone line conditions which can cause slow downs and sometimes even disconnection's.

Cable services speed and performance are based on how many users are using it in your area. A cable connection will slow down with each additional user on the network. DSL service quality depends on your distance from the nearest central office. If you are further than 18,000 feet you do not even qualify. Wireless Internet is not affected by any of the above downfalls. Our wireless is also a symmetrical service which means your upload speeds are as fast as your download speeds.

Traditional modem connections take time to connect, sometimes experiencing difficulties and dropping sessions before you are through with them. DSL is an "always on" Internet connection, there is no waiting for the connection and the connection is very robust, rarely interrupted. Traditional modem connections receive a temporary IP (Internet Protocol) number each time they log in to the Internet provider.

Like our dedicated ISDN connections, Spindlemedia Wireless service is always on; there’s never a busy signal. Unlike DSL, the service speed does not diminish with distance from the network (in this case, not the central office, but the base station). Unlike IDSN and T1 connections, which may be connected to the Public Service Telephone Network (PSTN), Spindlemedia Wireless service, functions like a private network IP connection between you the end-user and Spindlemedia.

DCOM is new, more secure and advanced technology to transfer data between Windows-based computers (Windows NT 4.0 already supports DCOM connection through the Internet). On the other hand, Sockets are platform independent. If you have Windows 95, there might be some problems with DCOM due to architecture differences (DCOM is developed for Windows NT architecture). Do you have problems using DCOM on Windows 95? If you do, then it is better to use Sockets.

The DSL is a list comprised of not just industrial chemicals, but also of substances such as Vitamin A, C, and D, vinegar, starch, fragrances, flavourings, beer, sugar, artificial sweeteners, and water. On December 8, 2006, the government announced actions on the science-based program; and although other OECD countries have similar programs, the Canadian program leads the world and offers a unique level of protection to Canadians.

The RS-232 9-pin com ports we are all used to. These are capable of data transfers up to 115 kbps. It is a relatively slow, low-bandwidth ideal for modems, mice and such like. But with modern serial drivers you can use leads of up to 15 meters. The bidirectional Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) was designed primarily for parallel storage devices such as CD-ROM's, tape drives and a few external hard disk drives.

First. Easy setup! You don't have to install any new hardware. You simply connect the DIRECTV DSL? gateway to your computer and DSL line phone jack, perform the automatic software installation, and you'll be surfing the Web within minutes. Second. Our gateways work with almost any computer, as long as you have an Ethernet, USB, or, in some cases, parallel port (see Technical Specifications for details). Third. The DIRECTV DSL? gateway is reliable.

Yes. DSL is significantly faster than a 56 Kbps modem. Also, DSL is always on so there is no need to dial-up to connect to the Internet. No more busy signals, and no dropped connections. And because the connection is dedicated you will be able to host a web server whereas this is not feasible with a dial-up connection. DSL also makes it easy to connect multiple computers to one high-speed line to share the speed on that line among an entire office.
