Because these are separate channels, you can be on the phone and on the Internet at the same time. In other words, if you currently have a second phone line to handle online access, you won't need it any longer.

When you access the Internet, you won't have to log in any longer. All you need to do is click on a web browser, or an e-mail client etc.., and you're on. The connection is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No more logging in and logging off. Just click and go.

And the connections are very fast. Even the slowest connection speed offered is 256K -- that's about 10 times as fast as a 28.8 modem and twice as fast as an ISDN line. To put that in concrete terms, a file that normally would take an hour to download from the net over a modem will now take a mere 6 minutes. The average web page pops up in under a second.

In addition, if you have other computers in your home, you may network them together so all of them have access to the Internet.

The DSL "modem" isn't really a modem at all -- it's a kind of network terminator. It plugs into a regular telephone jack to connect to the outside world and is either internally mounted, or attaches to your computer via a network cable that plugs into a network adapter (included with the package) in your computer.

When you use a DSL connection, you don't need to use your normal modem. In fact, unless you need your modem to send or receive faxes or for calling a BBS that isn't on the net, you can completely disconnect your normal modem.

If you are a current dial-up subscriber, please understand that we're still absolutely committed to continuing to provide top-notch dial-up access. DSL is simply one more option -- and a very exciting one at that.

And of course, when you order CSD Internet DSL services you get all the benefits of a normal CSD Internet account -- e-mail, USENET newsgroups, blistering fast web access, all the great things on the net. Naturally, you also get the benefits of CSD Internet 's renowned content, support and systems staff.
