BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 4, 1997--DNAI, the top-rated Internet Service Provider, announces its high speed ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) service.
Available immediately, Direct Network Access offers ADSL service at speeds up to 50 times faster than a standard modem. DNAI's new ADSL service meets customer demand for greater bandwidth at reasonable prices. Users will enjoy access speeds comparable to a T-1 line at prices closer to ISDN. DNAI provides a complete ADSL package enabling users to run a Web, e-mail or other server on their LAN.
DNAI offers ADSL service to customers within three miles of Pacific Bell Central Offices: in Danville and San Ramon in the East Bay; in San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and Mountain View in the South Bay; and in Burlingame, Los Altos, Palo Alto and Redwood City on the Peninsula.
DNAI offers three packages: Single user, NetPac-6, and NetPac-30. Net-Pac-6 and NetPac-30 provide up to five and 30 or more useable hosts respectively. Each of the three packages are offered in two possible bandwidth combinations: 1,540/384, 1.544 Mbps downstream (into the computer or LAN) with 384 Kbps upstream; or 384/384, 384 Kbps in both directions.
Customers pay monthly fees to both DNAI and Pacific Bell. DNAI's monthly charges range from $80 to $350 and Pacific Bell's from $80 to $250.
Small to medium-size businesses and those with home offices will benefit from having high bandwidth to access the Internet and/or hosting a web site. This incredible speed greatly increases the utility of the Internet by giving faster downloads of graphics-intensive web pages and allowing the use of high-bandwidth technologies such as video conferencing.
Remarkable bandwidth is just one of the many advantages of DNAI's ADSL service. With ADSL the Internet connection is continuous -- all the speed, all the time. With a constant Internet link, ADSL eliminates time spent waiting for call set-up and busy signals.
ADSL offers users parallel data and voice capability -- allowing simultaneous phone conversation and Internet access on one line. Also, because ADSL works through existing standard phone lines, no new connections are required to initiate service.
With the introduction of ADSL, DNAI continues its practice of providing breakthrough technology for its customers. DNAI was the first ISP to offer a full ISDN package in California. DNAI was also one of the first California ISPs to offer support for 56K technology. DNAI's customers have come to expect the latest technology, reliable service and extraordinary technical support.
DNAI ranked number one overall in Computer Currents' most recent reader survey rating ISP's in 11 service categories.
DNAI offers ADSL as part of a Pacific Bell market trial. ADSL service is expected to be available in all parts of the state by the end of 1998.
