Compute IT  - ADSL SUPER-FAST INTERNET ACCESS

WHAT IS ADSL?

ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) is a super-fast technology that turns an ordinary telephone line into a multitasking access tool. ADSL provides data transmission at significantly higher speeds than an ordinary dial-up or ISDN service, while maintaining the existing telephone service.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ADSL?

·         Increased usage of your existing telephone line, with a super-fast, dedicated link from your home or office to the Internet. This means you can browse on the Internet and talk on the phone or send a fax simultaneously.

·         No dial-up is necessary as you are permanently connected – no busy signals and no dropped calls and no more time-wasted.

·         Shoppe ADSL access service costs a flat monthly fee – no high, unpredictable call costs.

WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS OF ADSL?

·         ADSL users cannot be more than 3 - 5km from the exchange they are connecting to.

·         Connection speed is not guaranteed. The standard ADSL connection is limited to 3GB of traffic, however, please see our top up packages and our uncapped options.

·         As ADSL is limited to traditional copper telephone lines, quality of the copper connection may influence the quality of the connection.

·         Our standard ADSL connection has no Static IP Address. This means that you can't host your own website or mail server, however our new uncapped Business ADSL connection includes 4 useable static IP’s.
