NYI's
sDSL is available in a range of speeds, from 128Kbps to
1.5 Mbps, which is a significant improvement over the
traditional dial-up 28.8 or 56Kbps modems. NYI's upper
speeds rival T1-based services, yet cost up to 50% less.
It's also speed upgradable, ensuring that your Internet
connection can grow with you.
NYI allows much more predictability than usage-based ISDN services. NYI's DSL
is ideal for small- to medium-sized businesses, as well as the power Internet
user, with connectivity offered for both a single PC and a LAN environment. For
larger organizations using DSL to deploy intranets, we offer cost-effective
remote branch office or telecommuter connectivity, powered by the speed of
NYI's advanced backbone.

Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is a modem based
technology that allows high-speed transmission of data
over an existing telephone line. NYI's line of DSL products
is named DSL Solutions. Customers located within 16-18
Kft. of an DSL equipped central office will be able to
upload and download multimedia and high-speed data communications
over a single telephone line. Connections to Internet
providers or corporate LANs are virtually continuous.
Delays associated with call setup or busy signals will
be a thing of the past. One click of an icon and connection
is immediate. A company employee working at home will
be able to access his or her company's data network just
as effectively as if from the office. DSL technology provides
a clear economical growth path for such future high-speed
services such as video on demand, home shopping, distance
learning and others that will be deployed.

NYI
specializes in DSL for businesses, which require sDSL.
sDSL has many features that make it comparable to T1 lines,
with one very distinct characteristic. The price points
of sDSL are approximately 50% or less than the cost of
a comparable T1 line, giving sDSL an excellent price/performance
ratio. Some features of the sDSL products are:

ISDN
- Integrated Services Digital Network - Gives a user up
to 56 kbps of data bandwidth on a phone line that is also
used for voice, or up to 128 kbps if the line is only
used for data.
LOCAL
LOOP - A pair of wires, moderately twisted for the entire
length between the telephone company's end office and
the user premises (the common telephone set) form a loop,
so it is referred to as the local loop. This loop provides
a user with access to the global telecommunications infrastructure
that is installed all over the world. The local loop has
been historically designed to provide voice grade audio
service. The circuit is powered from the central office
with 48V (open circuit voltage) limited in current to
a value somewhat higher than 20mA. This current is used
for signaling phone access, burning off moisture, breaking
through metalic oxides caused by corrosion, and powering
a carbon microphone. The original telephone equipment
contained no active electronics. The actual wiring of
the local loop may be considered to be a lossy transmission
line. DSL uses whatever frequencies will propagate on
this line for purposes of digital data transmission. T1
modulation (alternate mark inversion) has been doing this
for years. DSL extends the capability by using modern
technology to increase the data rates and distances spanned.
POP
- Point of Presence - A node of an ISP containing a DSU-CSU,
terminal server and router and sometimes one or more hosts,
but no network information center or network operations
center.
POTS
- Plain Old Telephone Service - Basic voice service available
in residences throughout the United States.
TELCO
- Telephone Company - Generic name for telephone companies
throughout the world which encompasses RBOCs, LECs and
PTTs. |

HOW MANY COMPUTERS CAN I HOOK
UP TO MY DSL LINE?
NYI's SDSL connection comes with 5 static IP addresses which will allow 5
separate computers to be put online. More IP addresses are available upon
request, up to 61 IPs without Arin approval. Pricing for these additional IP
addresses may be seen here.
WHAT
IS THE INSTALLATION TIME?
About 3-4 weeks.
HOW
CAN I FIND OUT IF DSL IS AVAILABLE IN MY AREA?
To answer this question, NYI have designed a
DSL Availability Form.
Just enter your street address, city, state and zip code and click on
"Check Availability". You will get a message letting you know if it's
available or not.
DO
YOU PROVIDE RESIDENTIAL DSL?
No, we only provide sDSL or Synchronous DSL which is geared toward businesses.
IF
I EXPERIENCE DELAYS IN MY DSL CONNECTION, WHAT SHOULD
I DO?
Login to our online Help Desk and
describe the problem. This issue will be addressed by NYI's staff as soon as
possible.
IF
WE HAVE A ROUTER FROM A PREVIOUS PROVIDER, COULD WE STILL
USE IT?
No, an Ascend Pipeline is provided with your NYI SDSL service. This is the
router that is used in the installation. If you would like to use your own
router, requiring a V.35 drop, then you can indicate that upon ordering the
line.

ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line Modems attached
to twisted pair copper wiring that transmit from 1.5 Mbps
to 9 Mbps downstream (to the subscriber) and from 16 kbps
to 800 kbps upstream, depending on line distance.
HDSL
- High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line - Modems on either
end of one or more twisted wire pair that deliver T1 speeds.
At present, this requires two lines.
RADSL
- Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line - A version of
ADSL where modems test the line at start up and adapt
their operating speed to the fastest the line can handle.
SDSL
- Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line - HDSL plus POTS
over a single telephone line. This name has not been adopted
by a standards group but is being discussed by ETSI. It
is important to distinguish, however, as SDSL operates
over POTS and would be suitable for symmetric services
to premises of individual customers.
VDSL
- Very high bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line - Modem for
twisted pair access operating at data rates from 12.9
to 52.8 Mbps with corresponding maximum reach ranging
from 4500 to 1000 feet of 24-gauge twisted pair.
