The answer is quite simple: incredible business growth. Broadband technology will take your business completely out of its box and into a new realm of growth potential; as it allows you to connect your business 24 hours a day to the Internet, taking advantage of markets without geographic boundaries. Broadband service will increase your productivity by changing forever the way you think about communication and management.

The Internet has leveled the playing field. Small and mid-size businesses can have access to international markets at a low cost. Corporations can develop one-to-one relationships with consumers and track purchasing behavior on a micro level. Therefore, smart businesses are taking the time to research connectivity choices and are increasingly inclined to develop intelligent, sound Internet strategies.

Broadband-enabled Internet service is compatible with most current hardware and software technologies. Information Technology departments will be able to extend the life of current systems by integrating them with faster connectivity.

Broadband access to the Internet can help you improve all aspects of your business.

Dial-up Analog Modems once ideal for individual home users are quickly becoming a cumbersome, outdated technology. Though relatively inexpensive and widely available, the long 'dial-in' process, slow transmission speeds, and dropped connections are sending residential users looking elsewhere from frustration.

Dial-up connections are not reliable for a business and not suitable for a LAN. Analog modems are not designed to handle the communications of a business LAN, and should be used only in the rare cases when no other technology is available.

Cable modems connect via the cable TV network connection in a residence. By working on a shared network (which means speed is determined by the number of active users on the network) cable modems eliminate the dial-in process and offer "always on connectivity". Theoretical maximum speed is limited by the Ethernet board at 10Mbps. However, actual maximum speed is typically 1-3Mbps. Cable connectivity suffers from security holes and is unsuitable for hosting servers. Therefore, cable connectivity is not a viable business solution."

ADSL is a good solution for the residential user who wants high speed Internet connectivity but doesn't want the expense of additional phone lines. ADSL offers high speed connections, voice and data on the same line at the same time, a constant connection- without dialing in and affordability.

SDSL is the smart choice for businesses needing a fast reliable connection without the expense of dedicated access or the loss of productivity resulting from dial-up connections. SDSL offers high quality "always on" connectivity, flexibility for multiple users, the ability to host servers, and an affordable high speed solution 30-50 x faster than a regular dial-up. Symmetric speeds range from 144kpbs to 1.5Mbps.

Available speeds:

192K/192K
384K/384 K
768K/768k
1.1M/1.1M

SDSL is the most reliable of the DSL family members because it's based on proven technology that the telephone companies have been using for years for their T1 service.

IDSL (ISDN DSL) This DSL technology boasts symmetric speeds up to 144 Kbps capacity. However, you can't upgrade beyond the 144 Kbps. The main benefit if IDSL is that it has a much further range from the CO than other forms of DSL

IDSL Speed: 144K/144K

ISDN is a viable solution for individuals and small networks when other high speed connection options are not available. It is capable of transmitting voice and data over the same pair of copper wires in an all-digital format. ISDN is readily available as it works over standard telephone lines. Though much faster than analog, it does still require a dial-in process. However, ISDN supports both on demand dial out and dial in such as might be used by telecommuters or after hours workers. The downside of ISDN is that it is a usage based service and potentially very expensive. You cannot host servers on an ISDN connection and it is not as fast as DSL or T1 connections

ISDN Speed: provides speeds up to 128 Kbps

Burstable and Frame Relay solutions are ideal for businesses who have mission critical applications that require fast, always on, reliable and proven technologies. These connections are suited for any business conducting e-commerce and need a substantial investment in hardware and service. T1 service can be twice as expensive as DSL. However, DSL is a "best effort service" and reliant on the telecom infrastructure. Fractional T1 or Burstable T1 service provides bandwidth of up to 1.5 Megabits per second on a 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-per-week basis. Basically when you pay for a fractional T1 line you are leasing only the amount of the T1 lines' 24 channels to meet your needs. Fractional T1 circuits are upgradeable and bandwidth can be increased by adding 56Kbps or 64Kbps fractions which increases performance (i.e. from 128Kbps to 256Kbps).
