i hope pair is involved! We all understand your "need for speed" so we are launching our Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service in Austin, Texas. DSL is a new technology that runs over standard phone lines with a pair of modems. One modem is housed by the ISP (such as Southwestern Bell Internet Services) while the other is in your home or office. This pair of modems allows compressed data to move along the phone lines at high speed. Unlike regular modem and ISDN access, DSL is "always on" and allows you to download files and view graphics-intensive Web pages at speeds up to 10 times faster than ISDN, and up to 50 times faster than conventional 28.8 Kbps modems. For more information about our DSL service, please visit: public.swbell.net. In a related announcement, our parent company, SBC Communications Inc., announced plans for the largest rollout of Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) service in the country. By the end of the year, SBC will have the potential to provide ADSL service from 526 central offices to 8.2 million residential and 1.3 million business customers. So if ADSL is not available in your area yet - it will be soon! Southwestern Bell Internet Services is dedicated to providing cutting edge technology to a wide variety of users at the best prices without compromising our quality customer service. We have many more exciting projects planned for this year, so stay tuned as we continue to keep you informed. Until next time, Steven C. Hubbard President and CEO Southwestern Bell Internet Services thomas
