| What is ADSL? - ADSL is a "Broadband connection, it is
also a 24/7 open connection to the Internet at a fixed monthly rate - ADSL enable a group of PC's (Up to 10 or so), to connect to
the Internet simultaneously, at high speed and to always have full and fast access. You
need a normal telephone line to get ADSL, the same line will also still be able to make
and receive normal telephone calls, at normal Telkom rates, the line "Rental"
prices are fixed and described below. Unlike ISDN - which is also a broadband connection,
ISDN is still seen as a "Dial-up" connection and each time you connect to ISDN
you will incur a Dial-up cost. ADSL is a very inexpensive and stable way of connecting to
the Internet and will allow for high speed, large file transfer over the internet - ADSL
also facilitated video conferencing music and video downloads. |

| Most clients only have a modem
dialup connection agreement with their ISP (Internet Service Provider), this means Telkom,
M-Web, I-Africa, WOL, Atlantic etc.., before ADSL will work with the Telkom modem you need
to contact your ISP and change your dialup contract, your ISP will provide you with the
change in contract and new monthly pricing. |
