DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) Celticweb DSL service is mostly aimed at small to medium businesses but is also available to home users. Celticweb DSL service provides small to medium businesses with Internet access up to 50 times faster than the typical dial-up modem connection. DSL uses digital subscriber line (DSL) technology to deliver high-speed Internet connections through the copper phone lines already in your building. DSL delivers more speed, reliability and flexibility than dial-up or ISDN connections and is more cost-effective than ISDN or dedicated leased line services. If your business is paying between $50 and $100 or more per month for a phone line and phone charges for 56k dialup, it makes sense to switch over to Celticweb DSL and eliminate those charges. Not only can you get more than twice the speed for the same or less money, but your internet connection is ALWAYS on, there is NO dialing required.
