HOW MANY COMPUTERS CAN I HOOK UP TO MY DSL LINE?
NYI's SDSL connection comes with 5 static IP addresses which will allow 5
separate computers to be put online. More IP addresses are available upon
request, up to 61 IPs without Arin approval. Pricing for these additional IP
addresses may be seen here.
WHAT IS THE INSTALLATION TIME?
About 3-4 weeks.
HOW CAN I FIND OUT IF DSL IS AVAILABLE IN MY AREA?
To answer this question, NYI have designed a
DSL Availability
Form. Just enter your street address, city, state and zip code and click on
"Check Availability". You will get a message letting you know if it's
available or not.
DO
YOU PROVIDE RESIDENTIAL DSL?
No, we only provide sDSL or Synchronous DSL which is geared toward businesses.
IF
I EXPERIENCE DELAYS IN MY DSL CONNECTION, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Login to our online Help Desk and
describe the problem. This issue will be addressed by NYI's staff as soon as
possible.
IF
WE HAVE A ROUTER FROM A PREVIOUS PROVIDER, COULD WE STILL USE IT?
No, an Ascend Pipeline is procided with your NYI SDSL service. This is the
router that is used in the installation. If you would like to use your own
router, requiring a V.35 drop, then you can indicate that upon ordering the
line. |

DSL TYPES
- ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line Modems attached to twisted pair
copper wiring that transmit from 1.5 Mbps to 9 Mbps downstream (to the
subscriber) and from 16 kbps to 800 kbps upstream, depending on line distance.
- HDSL - High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line - Modems on either end of one or
more twisted wire pair that deliver T1 speeds. At present, this requires two
lines.
- RADSL - Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line - A version of ADSL where
modems test the line at start up and adapt their operating speed to the fastest
the line can handle.
- SDSL - Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line - HDSL plus POTS over a single
telephone line. This name has not been adopted by a standards group but is
being discussed by ETSI. It is important to distinguish, however, as SDSL
operates over POTS and would be suitable for symmetric services to premises of
individual customers.
- VDSL - Very high bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line - Modem for twisted pair
access operating at data rates from 12.9 to 52.8 Mbps with corresponding
maximum reach ranging from 4500 to 1000 feet of 24-gauge twisted pair.
