DSL
One Year Term Commitment
Effective February 10, 2003, all new SBC DSL circuit orders will have a
one-year term commitment. Discontinuing DSL service prior to the end of
this one-year term will result in a $125.00 early termination fee.
About DSL
DSL is an amazingly fast Internet connection that is always on and that does
not require you to dial up to be connected. Put simply- it is the Internet
as you've always dreamed it could be.
The DSL Advantage:
- Fast fast fast: With a regular modem, your best
possible connection speed is 56 kbps. Your DSL connection will give you
download speeds up to 6 Mbps!
-
Always on, easy to use: Your DSL connection uses your phone
line to connect your computer, without interfering with your telephone use.
You can hold a conversation or send a fax, and still be connected to the
Internet. And the connection is always on-- no more dialing up, no more
waiting.
-
More Power, New Possibilities: The speed and power of a DSL
connection opens up a whole new world of possibilities for Internet use.
Whether your interest is in speedy business communications, high-quality
streaming audio and video, blazing online gaming action or just a more
pleasant Internet experience, DSL will take you that much farther that much
faster.
-
Cost effective: Because your DSL connection uses your
existing phone line without interfering with your phone use, you
can get rid of costly extra phone lines. And because DSL is so fast, you are
saving time whenever you are on the Internet!
