If you're ready for the quick access speeds of DSL, but cost and quality are very important to you, PatriotNet will provide the finest dedicated Internet access service for your home.
PatriotNet DSL is fast!
Choose TeleSurfer ADSL for downloads up to 608 Kbps, or surf over 50 times faster than a 28.8 Kbps dial-up modem with PatriotNet's TeleSurfer Plus ADSL service offering downloads up to 1.5 Mbps!
No dialing or busy signals!
Unlike dial-up services, there is no wait to connect. Once installed, the high-speed connection is always "on" and available.
PatriotNet DSL is affordable!
PatriotNet's Residential DSL service is a flat-rate, unlimited Internet access service with no usage charges -- eliminating costly unpredictable charges often associated with ISDN and dial-up services. Plus, there is no additional charge from your local phone company (Verizon, etc.) for your new DSL service!
PatriotNet's service is superior!
Your DSL circuit will be routed through the quality Covad network, then on to PatriotNet over a fat 45 Mbps DS3 pipe, where it will plug into the Internet via a 100 Mbps connection to AboveNet's 197 Gbps network, well connected to the rest of the Internet. Nobody beats the quality of PatriotNet's DSL service!
Requirements for Residential DSL Service:
- A PC or Macintosh computer with an Ethernet card installed.
- For TeleSurfer ADSL, TeleSurfer Plus ADSL and TeleSoho: Local telephone service through Verizon.
- For TeleSpeed IDSL: An available phone jack and available pre-wired phone line in the room in which the service will be installed. Additional inside wiring, if required, may be available at time of installation a fee.

* TeleSurfer ADSL service uses industry-standard Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT) technology. It is a rate-adaptive DSL service, with actual speeds determined by the length and condition of the delivered circuit.
TeleSurfer and TeleSurfer Plus include a bridge (DSL modem), Residential TeleSpeed 144 includes a router and TeleSoho includes a gateway with integrated 4-port ethernet hub capable of using NAT. TeleSoho does not support multiple static IP numbers, but additional static IP numbers are available with TeleSurfer, TeleSurfer Plus, and TeleSpeed.
Special! Setup fees reduced, 9/28/03.
** ADSL setup cost is $105 upfront, or 12 monthly installments of $9.50 each for Self-Install option, or $210 upfront, or 12 monthly installments of $19 each for Professional Install option; see below for details.
*** IDSL setup cost is $575 upfront, or 12 monthly installments of $52 each.
Setup (Installation) Options for TeleSurfer, TeleSurfer Plus and TeleSoho
Self-Install:
$105, or 12 monthly
installments of $9.50
each |
Install DSL service yourself, if your home qualifies! Pre-qualification is required. This option includes direct shipping to customer of one complete DSL JumpStart Install Kit containing ethernet bridge (DSL modem) for TeleSurfer or ethernet gateway (DSL router) for TeleSoho, step-by-step illustrated quickstart guide, and all required line filters and cables, plus toll-free installation support.
NOTE: Orders placed with Self-Install option may still require the services of a professional Covad technician. An installation technician dispatch can be requested after the self-install kit has been received for an additional cost of $105.
|
| |
|
Professional Install:
$210, or 12 monthly installments of $19 each
|
Includes in-home installation of DSL JumpStart Install Kit or comparable equipment supplied by a professional Covad technician. Also includes cost and installation of NID splitter or inline filters (technician to determine which), basic inspection of inside wiring between NID and an existing RJ-11 wall jack where service to be installed, and verification of successful installation from end-user PC. Does not include repair or installation of inside wiring. |
NOTE: All service options require a 12 month commitment.
NOTE: DSL service is not available in all areas, but is currently available in many neighborhoods in the Washington, DC and Baltimore areas, with more added every month.
NOTE: DSL service is distance sensitive; your distance from your telephone company central switching office will determine for which DSL service you qualify.
NOTE: PatriotNet's Residential DSL services are available only for use at residential addresses. TeleSurfer and TeleSurfer Plus are not suitable for use by multiple computers or networks. TeleSoho is the best choice for serving multiple computers at a residential location. Businesses and other organizations seeking access for multiple desktops should choose PatriotNet Business TeleSpeed DSL Service instead.
NOTE: According to the guidelines used by PatriotNet's DSL partner, Covad Communications, a downstream speed of between 128 Kbps and 608 Kbps is an acceptable and successful service setup for TeleSurfer ADSL, and a downstream speed of between 128 Kbps and 1,500 Kbps is an acceptable and successful service setup for TeleSurfer Plus ADSL and TeleSoho. TeleSurfer and TeleSoho services are "best effort" services, and PatriotNet will make every attempt to provide the highest downstream and upstream speeds possible (up to the maximum on the ordered service), dependent upon the distance of the consumer from the Central Office, the condition of the phone line, and other factors outside the control of PatriotNet or Covad.
NOTE: Placing a pre-qualified order for DSL does not guarantee delivery of service. DSL service to your location may be technically unfeasible due to one or more of the following: actual length of the phone company circuit too long to support service ordered, lack of available copper circuits to the customer premises, existence of Digital Loop Carriers (DLCs) or other electronics along certain telephone lines, or quality or unavailability of local phone lines.
NOTE: Allow 3 to 6 weeks for installation of service.
