WHAT IS SDSL?

SDSL provides a dedicated connection to the Internet that may be used to connect computer systems and servers so that your customers or clients can reach your services. If you provide services to the Internet, you can get a dedicated connection tailored to your needs, at a fraction of the cost of a T1 or Frame relay circuit. SDSL is a Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Loop, providing the same bandwidth for outgoing and incoming traffic. Static IP addresses are included in the service. SDSL connections are provided through ZiaNet and New Edge Networks. For information about inexpensive ADSL services for residential and small business subscribers, see the other side of this page.
