What is DSL?

Digital Subscriber Line, or DSL, is an Internet connection that enters your home or business on a phone line. Asynchronous DSL,or ADSL, rides on your existing phoneline. Synchronous DSL,SDSL or g.SHDSL, use a dedicated phone line included in the service price.

ADSL is most appropriate for home and small business, SDSL or g.SHDSL is most appropriate for medium to large businesses. DSL is limited to distance and copper line performance. ADSL provides a faster downstream rate than upstream, from 128Kbps to 7.1Mbps. SDSL or g.SHDSL provides the same downstream and upstream rates, from 128Kbps to 2.3Mbps.

Available InFlavors of DSL

Extreme ADSL is the most popular DSL, offering the best price for performance. It rides your phone line into your home/business. Extreme ADSL requires a Qwest phone line.

Extreme Standalone ADSL is DSL without a Qwest phone line. At a cost of $10-15 more per month, you can receive DSL without the need for a land line. This is also appropriate if you have your phone service provided by MCI, McLeod, or another non-Qwest provider. Extreme Standalone ADSL can be billed on a single invoice from Visionary.

Beyond Extreme DSL is a high-end DSL that stretches farther than Extreme DSL.
Beyond Extreme DSL operates at up to 29,000 feet from the telco CO, can be delivered as a Standalone product, as a synchronous product (SHDSL), and is billed on a single invoice from Visionary. Beyond Extreme DSL can also be delivered in communities without DSL infrastructure.

Modem Rental
Depending on the flavor of DSL you order, you may rent the modem rather than purchasing the modem. Please see charts to left for modem rental pricing.
Visionary also offers a modem purchase for ADSL products, allowing you to avoid a monthly cost. There are benefits to both, and you must decide which you prefer. Some Beyond Extreme DSL packages include the use of a router provided by Visionary at a $0 lease rate.

What if I don't Qualify?
Of the many tools that exist to qualify your line for DSL, none are entirely accurate. In many situations, these tools report that you cannot get DSL when your location qualifies. We double-check all orders once received to ensure you qualify at your location. If you have had trouble ordering DSL in the past, ask us for a thorough test dslonline@vcn.com.

Benefits of DSL
  • always connected, always on
  • does not tie up a phone line
  • can be used for multiple computers
  • provides security by using a router
  • EXTREMEly fast
