Visionary Deploys ADSL2+ Broadband
Gillette, WY (ContentDesk) January 20th, 2005 -- Visionary Communications has deployed ADSL2+ in Gillette Wyoming, bringing a faster broadband service to the rural town.
ADSL2+ is a Digital Subscriber Line technology that delivers internet service over a telephone line at a speed three times that of the fastest competing broadband.Visionary is calling the new DSL product Intense DSL, with good reason.
ADSL2+ allows the company to deliver up to 25Mbps of internet bandwidth to customers within a two mile range of the center of town.
The speed is the equivalent of 16 T1 lines, or 466 dialup modem connections."Internet providers focus on the metro areas and large cities," explained Jeremy Malli, Visionary's Chief Technology Officer and self-proclaimed Alpha Geek.
"If it is up to us to push the broadband envelope, we will."Visionary plans to market the new service to existing customers, providing a benefit to the customer for their loyalty to the company.
The company has plans to roll out the broadband service in two additional communities by fall of this year.Visionary is a company known to raise the bar, setting a higher internet standard in the state of Wyoming.
The company rolled out 3Mbps DSL in 2003, almost a year ahead of the cable companies and nearly two years ahead of the telephone company.
Visionary was also the first company to deliver broadband in ten of the state's rural towns."We have the equipment, we have the talent," says Brian Worthen, CEO and President of Visionary.
"Extremely fast internet is a great way to reward a town that's been great to us."ADSL2+ is a DSL technology used widely throughout Europe and Asia, but has yet to obtain a foothold in the United States.
The technology achieves faster speeds by using additional frequency on a telephone line.
The faster speeds result in the capability to deliver additional services on the same line, such as digital television.Visionary Communications is Wyoming's pioneering broadband provider, offering DSL in 18 Wyoming communities, and wireless broadband in 11 Wyoming communities. The company provides internet services in more than 90 towns and cities. The company is headquartered in Gillette..

SBC DSL: A Good Choice for High Speed Internet
What is the best way for me to go about getting high speed internet in my house? I searched on line and through the yellow pages, only to find that there are an uncountable number of high speed internet options out there. However, as I sifted through all of the consumer sites and user reviews, I found that SBC DSL may, indeed, be the best bet for bringing high speed internet to my home office.
According to many a review, SBC DSL is the most reliable DSL service out there. They also happen to be the largest in many major metropolitan areas in the country, or at least those serviced by Southwestern Bell. SBC DSL has a spectacular reputation among consumers for having technologically advanced products, great customer service, and good competitive prices on their service. The only drawback I could find is that several SBC DSL customers found setting up a home network to be difficult.
However, by simply converting to wireless internet, you can solve that problem and still have...

FCC Ruling on DSL Re-Monopolizes Phone Networks Says California ISPs
SACRAMENTO, CA (ContentDesk) August 8, 2005 -- The California ISP Association (CISPA), the largest state association of Internet service providers, reacted today to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's ruling today that high-speed DSL Internet lines should be classified as an "information service" instead of a telecommunications service. The ruling would allow large phone companies to close their DSL networks and exclude independent ISP's from the DSL market. The result is that most ISPs would be eliminated from the broadband market."The FCC's version of what it calls "deregulation" is simply just a re-monopolization of a network that has been publicly regulated and paid for by rate payers for more than 100 years. This is not leveling the DSL playing field.
The FCC is putting a fence around the playing field and giving the keys to a few phone companies with armies of paid lobbyists, letting the phone companies decide who can play in the broadband game.Consumers and businesses...
