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.
