Speed
In / Out
DSL from Montana.Net provides you with a high-speed alternative
to the traditional 56K dial-up Internet access. With DSL your computer
is always connected to the Internet and your phone line is always available
for phone calls.
DSL "piggy-backs" on your phone line, so you must have an active telephone line that qualifies for DSL service in order to have a DSL account. A telephone line that has been set up to utilize DSL Internet access will also incur monthly billing charges from Qwest.
DSL is available in different speeds, both "up to" and guaranteed speeds, at different prices. Not all speeds will necessarily be available at any given location. Here is what we offer:

(1) Qwest monthly billed amounts are for the DSL circuit (getting the DSL signal from the customer's telephone wall jack to the Qwest Central Office) and are applied to the customer's phone bill. The Qwest charge is in addition to our monthly charges for Internet access (getting the DSL signal from the Qwest Central Office to our equipment, and out to the Interent) via the DSL circuit.
Activation of a new DSL account takes 1-3 weeks, generally only one week, depending upon whether any conditioning needs to be performed on the phone line to be used for DSL access.

A DSL Router is required. This consists of the Actiontec GT701-wg Gateway Router, which may be purchased for $59.99 or rented for $5.00 per month. These charges are billed by Qwest on your phone bill. Shipping and handling charge for the router, also billed by Qwest, is $9.99. Note that the Router requires one of these methods to connect to your computer:
Microfilters: Because DSL service can cause static or interference
on your telephone line, it is important to install "microfilters"
on every piece of equipment that is connected to the telephone line
that will receive DSL service. Microfilters are filtering devices
that will filter out any interference due to DSL service. In addition
to regular telephones, other devices commonly connected to telephone
lines include answering machines, computer modems, and fax machines.
Some people may also have home or business alarm devices or devices
that remotely monitor utility usage. Any piece of equipment that
plugs into a standard telephone jack should be included in the count.
Each DSL account includes 3 email accounts. Additional email accounts are available for $3.00 per month per email account. Each DSL account is allowed 3 gigabytes of data transfer per month. Data transfers in excess of this amount are billed at $10 per gigabyte (or fraction thereof) per month. Dial-Up access, for use by the DSL account-holder when away from their DSL location, is available for at the following rates:
Static IP addresses are available for $6.00 per month. |
