Business ADSL

What is ADSL?

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, or ADSL, is a technology that provides broadband Internet access over a standard residential or small office telephone line, at speeds that are an order of magnitude faster than the best dialup modem connection. Unlike traditional modem based 'dialup' access, ADSL is an always-on technology, which means that you don't have to wait to connect up - your computer is always 'on the net'.

ADSL operates through your standard telephone line without interrupting your use of the telephone. You can place and receive telephone calls at the same time as you use the Internet. You do not need a second telephone line, and you will never have to 'dial up' again!

Can I get ADSL at my business?

When applying for ADSL, Vintek will conduct a number of checks to ensure that DSL can be successfully connected to your service number.

These checks include confirmation of:

1. Your telephone exchange has been enabled for ADSL

2. Your proximity to the telephone exchange

3. Availability of spare capacity

4. Other products and services in use that may impact the ability to connect to DSL

If you pass this check your ADSL application will be accepted into our system. Once an application has been entered our qualified technicians will carry out steps 2-4 noted above to further check if we can provide you with ADSL.

What are my system requirements?

To be eligible for ADSL you must meet the following criteria:

• Your local telephone exchange must support ADSL

• You must be within 3 to 4 kilometres of your exchange

• Must have an existing, operational voice telephone line

• An ADSL modem (contact us for latest prices)
