Business
Wise
So you think you're saving money
by sticking with your dial-up accounts? The
fact is, unless your business has only a couple
of dial-up accounts, you are probably paying
more for your business dial-up connectivity
than you would be with ADSL service. There
are many more costs associated with a business
dial-up account than just what you pay your
ISP .
- A business using dial-up accounts,
unlike residential customers, is charged on
a business telephone basis which means they
are charged even for local calls on a per minute
basis.
- Not only can Nile Online give you a better price for ADSL service,
your employees will be more productive, because:
- Employees will no longer have to log on to the Internet or sit around
and wait for large files to download.
- ADSL service has no charge by the call or charge by the minute fees
- Employees can spend more time utilizing the power of the Internet than
with dial-up accounts.
- ADSL service may be used by as many employees as the business requires,
your business can bring the entire work force online cheaper than using
individual dialup accounts for everyone . |
# What
Do I Need to Install ADSL:
An ADSL Modem or Router
Most ISPs will supply you
with a modem or router either free of charge
or at additional cost. A number of online
retailers are also competing to sell you
their products. Connection equipment can
be broken down into 3 basic categories:
|
Ethernet/Wireless
Router
A standalone device which maintains the connection to the Internet
for you. Most routers have an Ethernet connection to your local
area network and act as a gateway, DNS, DHCP and firewall service.
Computer enthusiasts or businesses can use a router to connect
multiple computers to the Internet without the need for connection
sharing software such as Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing
(ICS). |
A Micro-Filter for each Phone Socket
A
micro-filter is designed to plug into
your phone socket (similar to a standard
splitter used to connect multiple telephones).
Its purpose is to separate voice from
data and must be connected to each
phone socket in your house. If you
do not have a telephone, or any device
which uses the phone line, a micro-filter
isn't required. Most ISPs and retailers
sell micro filters. |
