Internet Solutions, SA`s leading ISP, has launched a pilot programme introducing its ADSL (asymmetrical digital subscriber line) service, a totally new offering to be managed by IS`s Remote Solutions division.
ADSL was recently announced as a service released by Telkom providing a high-speed connection from the customer to the local telephone exchange. Internet Solutions is offering access that will connect customers to the largest online community in SA.
"The benefits of an ADSL service are numerous," says Leon Labuschagne of Internet Solutions. "Of major significance, however, is that one does not have to dial up repeatedly to connect to the Internet. Customers are permanently connected at a much reduced cost and there is no restriction in terms of how much data you can download."
Internet Solutions will run its pilot for the duration of February and is calling all ADSL users (whether they are IS customers or not) to register for the programme on www.isdsl.net. The aim of the programme is to prove IS`s ADSL service under full load conditions, prior to commercial release of an ADSL product.
"We have spent a great deal of time researching the value and benefits of this solution, and are preparing to go to market in the very near future with a full selection of bundled ADSL services," concludes Labuschagne.
