DSL
If you are surfing the web from home with a typical
modem, you are familiar with the bursts, pauses, and long access times
on the Internet highway during "rush hours." No wonder some
people call the World Wide Web the "World Wide Wait." DSL
technology may bring relief for bored or frustrated commuters on the
information highway, its called ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber
Line.
Unlike its acronym it doesn't really refer to a line,
but the modems that convert a line into a high speed digital pipe.
The modem technology converts the copper twisted-pair telephone lines
in the Plain-Old Telephony System (POTS), just before it enters your
home, into access paths for multimedia and high speed communication.
ADSL has the ability to transmit up to 1.5 Mbps downstream (to the
customer) and up to 384 Kbps upstream (to the Internet), depending
upon line length and the modem capabilities*. Such rates transform
the existing information network from one limited to voice, text and
low resolution graphics to a powerful system capable of bringing multimedia,
including full motion video, to everyone's home this decade. ARNet's
ADSL is only $44.95
per month* and includes 5 email addresses (one for each member of
the family!) and a static IP address allowing you the versatility
to setup your own Web server. Other advantages include always being
online meaning never having to dial up to the Internet again! Also,
if you currently have 2 phone lines, one reserved for your dial up
service, you can get rid of it because DSL will run on the same phone
line as your voice line. You can talk and surf at the same time, on
the same phone line, saving you money and providing you the best benefits
of speed and convenience. Please contact
us for more information.
*Service available in Amarillo
& Lubbock only. One year contract pricing only. Installation &
Setup fees may apply. Other factors may affect DSL serviceability.

Commercial T1/T3
For businesses requiring greater Internet demand
or Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity, it may be necessary to consider
a T1 or T3. The definition from www.whatis.com
is as follows:
The T-carrier system, introduced by the Bell System
in the U.S. in the 1960s, was the first successful system that supported
digitized voice transmission. The original transmission rate (1.544
Mb/s) in the T-1 line is in common use today in Internet Service Provider
connections to the Internet. Another level, the T-3 line, providing
44.736 Mb/s, is also commonly used by Internet Service Providers.
Another frequently installed service is a fractional T-1, which is
the rental of some portion of the 24 channels in a T-1 line, with
the other channels going unused.
Because of the high-speed, dedicated connection, consideration
for a business to incorporate a T1 would be the need for an extremely
reliable connection required for some business applications, like
connectivity to a database in a remote home office for instance. Most
companies will start with a fractional T1 which is more cost effective
and scalable since increasing bandwidth will not require new equipment
or costly install fees to your Telephone Company. Fractional T3's
are also available if your business does not need the full speed advantage
of a Full T3, and also scalable to meet your business needs up to
44.736 Mb/s! Please contact
us for more information. Please
note the costs do not include charges from your phone company for
the line. Contact your Telephone Company for more information.
