SBC DSL: A Great Choice
SBC and Yahoo have teamed up to provide great DSL residential internet service to many states. DSL is high-speed broadband internet connectivity, a telephone data transfer technology that uses existing unused phone lines to deliver extremely high speed internet service to your home; you can use existing phone lines for service, rather than paying to have installation of special wiring. With SBC DSL service, you can have your phone line and be online at the same time. And the speed is fast enough that you can have several computers in your house hooking to the internet simultaneously; DSL can make everyone happy. Customers who subscribe to DSL as well as regular SBC telephone service will get a special package deal, as well as the convenience of having telephone and internet access billed together. SBC DSL can come in two flavors: dynamic and static. Both forms, like any internet service, will assign your computer line an IP address – basically, a name so that the server can easily locate it. The difference is that a static DSL connection assigns an IP address that never changes, while a dynamic one rotates between a pool of IP addresses. The performance difference is that a static DSL will have consistent performance; it will always download at a consistent rate. Dynamic DSL, since it’s rotating signals in a constant search for the fastest download rate, will generally perform faster but occasionally (probably at peak times) will dip down into a slower download speed. Static DSL is usually a little more expensive, but is worth it for the consistent service. DSL is great technology for your internet access needs; but SBC DSL offers lots of free extras along with their technological expertise and wide network. SBC DSL offers free tools like pop-up blockers, parental controls you can customize, firewalls to protect your computer from unauthorized access and hijackers, SpamGuard, and email virus protection software. SBC also offers seamless transitions from your old internet service, including email forwarding and address change notification services. You’ll get a personalized SBC Yahoo! DSL home page and Yahoo!
