Finding reliable and fast business DSL service is a must for any small business owner. It is hard to imagine anything proving to be more disastrous than a business’ internet connection coming to a halt in the middle of the work day when Internet activity is at its peak. If you asked business owners which form of business Internet has proved itself above all others to be both fast and reliable, it could almost be guaranteed that they would give you one answer: DSL .

There are many advantages to having a business DSL service to provide your Internet service. The obvious one is that you can leave your internet connection open and still use your business phone lines open for voice calls. The speed is also significantly faster than a regular modem. A business DSL service connection also does not require new wiring most of the time and you can just simply use the phone line you already have. This significantly will save you money on installation costs. Besides, the company that offers your business DSL service will usually provide the modem as part of the installation. Also, unlike cable modems, business DSL service is not a bus technology, so the bandwidth available to the end user is far more consistent.

So, what is business DSL service ?

A “Digital Subscriber Line” is more commonly referred to DSL, and it is a form of Internet technology that has had a long reputation for delivering high bandwidth connectivity to homes and small businesses over ordinary copper telephone lines. A connection with a business DSL service typically provides fast Internet speeds ranging from 1.54mbps to 512Kbps downstream, and around 128Kbps upstream. To show you how fast DSL can be in comparison to a regular phone line, a phone line puts out about 56,000 bits per second. Even the absolute slowest DSL line will run you around 256,000 bits per second, which is already 4 times faster. A typical 3 Meg DSL line is 64 times faster than your regular dial up connection!

xDSL refers to different variations of DSL, such a ADSL, HDSL, and RADSL. PPPoE (known as Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a specification for connecting multiple computer users on an Ethernet local area network which is perfect for businesses. The PPP protocol information is encapsulated within an Ethernet frame. PPPoE provides a major advantage for businesses because it provides maximum integration yet minimizes disruption of service. PPPoE enables rapid service and cost savings for your business.

In summary, a business DSL service gives you control.

How does business DSL service work?

The business DSL service line will send a special signal on your existing telephone line. It requires a special circuit card at the telephone company’s nearest office, and it requires special equipment at your office of home, which is referred to as a CPS (or Customer Premise Equipment). A technician can easily install this for you most the time at little or no charge at all with subscription to a business DSL service .
What can I do with my business DSL service ?

A business DSL service will allow you to use the Internet the way it was meant to be used. Surfing the Internet with speed and ease is not a problem with business DSL service . Web pages no longer “load” as they simply just pop up on your screen. Hosting your business’ website is not a problem either as you have an “always on” Internet connection.

Your business will also be able to have as many IP addresses as you need. Depending on the DSL speed you order, you will get anywhere from 1-13 IP addresses included free with your business DSL service .
Like we mentioned before, the main advantage business DSL service has over other Internet sources is speed. The modern business world connected through the Internet in more ways than one, and the best way to stay connected and keep your business productive and growing is to have the fastest and most reliable internet available.
