What is (A)DSL Modem?
The (A)DSK is not a true modem, in fact you will not need to dial any number at all. It is actually a state-of-the-art all-digital device that communicates by using 10BaseT network protocols and provides an "always on" connection so you can "surf" the net as soon as you turn on your computer.

The (A)DSL Service is based on DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) technology; this means you will be "permanently" connected to the Internet through your existing analog phone service.

How fast is is the service?
The DSL Modem provides a high-speed data connection that allows you to "surf the Net" at up to 3 Megabits per second downstream and up to 800 kilobits per second upstream. The DSL Modem enables subscribers to simultaneously use a phone or fax machine while online without interrupting data sessions allowing them to avoid busy signals, redials, or cutoffs each time someone picks up the phone. Travel-Net's 4.0 ADSL Service delivers up to 4.0 Mbps download and up to 800kbps upload.

Where is Service Modem Available?
(A)DSL Service is deployed over your existing phone line. To receive this service you must be within reach of a Bell Canada Central Office (CO). The maximum distance for availability is 4.5 km of wiring from the CO.

We are currently taking orders for 3-Meg Modem and ADSL service in the Greater Ottawa/Gatineau and surrounding areas. Please contact us to see if you are in our ever expanding service area.

Please note that not all locations in every city will be eligible to receive ADSL services. Distance and line quality limitations can make service inoperative for some locations. Bell Canada will perform a line quality check after your order is placed to help determine if you can receive (A)DSL services.

What are the computer requirements for (A)DSL?

For (A)DSL Modem connections, we support PC-compatible computers running Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000 or Windows XP, or Macintosh computers running Open Transport (TCP/IP) 1.1.1 or higher. Windows 3.1 is not supported. Any computer needing to access the Internet over the ADSL line must have a 10baseT or 100baseT network card.

Computers running other operating systems such as Linux and Windows 95/NT should also work as long as they have a network card and are able to obtain their IP address via DHCP. These operating systems are not officially supported, however we will provide assistance on a best effort basis.

How does the service compare to other high-speed technologies?

ISDN - ADSL outperforms ISDN in both performance and cost. Since your ADSL line is always connected over your phone line, there are no additional Microlink fees as with ISDN. ADSL's speed leaves ISDN's 64k or even 128k in the dust.

Cable - Cable modems looked quite promising several years ago, but now many industry analysts are calling cable modems dead on arrival. While cable modems have the capability to be quite fast, 2 major problems with cable modems remain unsolved. Both problems are caused by the fact that by its nature, cable modem technology is a shared medium. You share your Internet connection with your neighbor, the guy across the street, and your entire section of town. One problem this causes is that when everybody on the block is using their cable modem at the same time, access can get quite slow. With the right software, anybody you're sharing the connection with can see everything you do on the Internet. There's no privacy if you've got a cable modem. The other problem is that cable's existing broadcast technology is very limited when uploading bandwidth, a very important concern if you intend to host your own Internet servers. Since ADSL is a dedicated technology, the remains both speedy and secure for all your business needs.

T1 and ATM - ADSL is however no substitute for a T1 or ATM connection, it is however the closest you can get without paying thousands of dollars a month. These services are built to resell bandwidth in mass or to accommodate very large networks. T1 and ATM services symmetrically deliver extremely high bandwidth at full duplex, which is usually not needed by most business today. ADSL provides enough bandwidth for many years to come.

How much does (A)DSL service cost?
There are several different components that make up the total cost of (A)DSL Service: the initial installation fee, the hardware, the line cost, and the Internet service. We have described below each aspect of our (A)DSL costing model.

Initial Installation - The (A)DSL activation fee is waived until further notice.

Modem - You will need a Standards based ADSL Modem (g.lite). This can be purchased from Travel-net or included as part of you monthly service charge.

Network Card - A 10baseT or 100baseT network card is needed in each computer that will be accessing the Internet over the ADSL connection. Many computers already have a network card installed. They can be purchased from nearly any computer store or Travel-Net Communications can provide and install one for you. Please contact us for more information.

Internet Service Charges - Travel-Net Communication will be offering the Internet access starting as low as for just $34.95/month for the "DSL Basic Service" and $59.99/month for the "Business DSL Modem Service". Please check the chart above for detailed costs and services provided.
