The
solution provides permanently connected, ADSL internet access
to your organization at a fixed cost.
Permanently
Connected
The connection is always available, whenever you need it.
There is no delay while a dialup connection is established,
and there is no need for user names and passwords to be
entered and validated.
Email delivery is immediate. Emails are not backed up on
servers waiting for your connection to be established. You
can be sure that you will receive an email within minutes
or even seconds after it has been sent to you - and your
emails will be delivered just as quickly.
ADSL
Internet Access
ADSL provides a high speed connection between your premises
and the nearest Telkom exchange. Using the username and
password provided by ScottNET, you will be given access
to the Telkom-provided, shared Internet service. Telkom
provides no guarantees on the way this service will be shared,
and performance may be inconsistent. A maximum data capacity
(combined incoming and outgoing) cap is placed on the service
of 2 or 3 GBytes of data in any one calendar month. After
this cap is reached, , your internet link will not function anymore and you will need to top up your account with more gigabytes.
The ADSL is also a fixed price that you pay per month.
REMEMBER
THAT YOUR TELKOM EXCHANGE MUST BE ADSL COMPATIBLE.
