1. Speed Advantage: At speeds ranging from 144Kbps to 1.5Mbps, DSL is the perfect access solution for small business, SOHO, telecommuting, or high-speed personal Internet connectivity. All speeds are symmetric, which means that they operate at the same speed in both directio ns, except for the 1.5Mbps/384Kbps DSL service which offers the faster 1.5Mbps speed in the download direction.

• Multiple users: If you go for a sufficiently high speed, multiple users can access the internet within your organization through twisted pair cables and ethernet cards. Each machine will need a IP address. Each user will then have access to the same speed as the speed to which you have signed up (of course, the actual speed will depend on the distribution of internal usage).
• Hosting your web server for low volume traffic : If traffic to your web site is going to be small, you could register the domain with us and host the web server at your own site since you are provided with publicly available IP addresses if needed.

  6. Pricing Advantages:

  • Low price for full-time, high-speed Internet connectivity
  • Flat rate pricing. No usage charges, always-on connectivity
  • Prices start as low as $50/month

  2. How is DSL installed?

  Is your area covered by Cine.net?: To find that out, go to GTE's web site, go down the page to the concerned section and type in the first 6 digits of your phone number (incluing area code). E.g., if your phone number is (310)-301-4500, then type in 310301. You will then know if you are covered by Cine.net.

  Customer Equipment: Once you are covered, then all you need to check is for equipment. The equipment required for DSL service is simply an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) installed in your PC, along with Internet capable software. Alternately, a network hub may be used to attach multiple PCs, or a router may be used to attach a Local Area Network (LAN). The installation service includes testing for Internet connectivity from your PC.

  Notes:
  a) If you don't have a NIC/ethernet card installed in your PC already, our technicians can optionally install and configure an Ethernet card. Some inside wiring might also be required. Please check with us for pricing.

  b) DSL is an enhancement to a base telephone service. You must already have at least 1 line to get DSL on top of it. The invoice for that line (usual base charge) will be received from GTE.
