What is ADSL service?

ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line.  The "Asymmetric" term applies to the fact that the upload and download speeds are not the same.

ADSL, unlike IDSL and SDSL, does not refer to the type of signalling being used.  There are several different ADSL signalling types.  Therefore, it is important to use ADSL modems that are compatible with our ADSL service.

What are the features of ADSL?

ADSL is easy to install.  In fact, it even has a "Self Install" kit option.  Professional installation is not normally required to hook up ADSL service.

ADSL shares one of your existing telephone lines.  There is no need to run new wires in your home or business.

ADSL and your telephone can be used at the same time.  They share the line in such a way that you can be online and on the phone at the same time.

ADSL can replace your second line for your computer.  Why pay for two lines when you only need one with ADSL?

ADSL is ideal for basic internet users and telecommuters.  Its great for businesses that primarily need download speed.

What is included with Elite.Net's ADSL service?

Elite.Net ADSL service includes an ADSL Modem, sometimes called a bridge, and a private IP address.

Elite.Net can optionally include a basic ethernet card in the Self Install kit at no charge, if needed.

What kind of modem is supplied?

At this time it is an Efficient SpeedStream 5360

Can I provide my own modem?

Although this is supported, Elite.Net does not recommend it.  As mentioned above, many ADSL modems use incompatible signalling.  And different ADSL vendors use different settings on the modems themselves.  The result can be that your ADSL modem will not talk to our DSL equipment.
