DSL is a modem technology that turns your existing phone line into a three-channel data delivery system. One channel transmits voice services, so normal phone and fax usage continues whether or not you are accessing the Internet. A second channel transmits data downstream at high speeds, and a third bi-directional channel transmits data upstream. The downstream and upstream channels carry information to and from the Internet. Therefore, phone or fax calls occurring on the first channel are not affected by your online activity. There are modems at each end of the phone line. One is at your home; one is at the Logical Net Central Office. Working together, these modems provide a dedicated connection that avoids the need to dial-up for access to the Internet. The modem in the Logical Net Central Office points your Internet traffic to the DSL network and onto the Internet. With DSL Internet access, you have a fast connection to the Internet.

Logical Net Online DSL is a powerful connection that loads data and images up to 50 times faster than a dial up connection. Logical Net Online DSL brings you the convenience you want, making your work (or play) that much easier and more fun.
