"We found kidcups.net via a Web Search in Google while shopping for reliable/competitive T-1 lines. Adam Edwards, a kidcups.net consultant, asked me questions without selling anything and then delivered an array of options with pros and cons for each. I've dealt with many types of vendors as a "decision maker" for multiple companies and kidcups.net is a model for success. Needless to say we are in the process of converting all of our data lines throughout the country with the help of kidcups.net."

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a data network protocol that uses Class of Service (CoS) to prioritize different types of data packets across a shared network to facilitate the convergence of voice, video and data applications.

As business networks face increasing numbers of applications with low latency and high bandwidth demands, MPLS allows network administrators to specify which applications should be prioritizes above others so that data flows across the network is an organized fashion that reflects the relative business importance of various type of data.

MPLS network is particularly important to businesses running applications that require latency such as VoIP, ERP, SAP, etc.

POTS local loop speed is increased by up to 50 times when a DSL modem is attached at the customer premise and a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) is connected to the local access loop at the local telephone company central office (CO).

DSL service is delverd as Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) which is the most common application for Internet access, where fast downstream is required, but slow upstream is acceptable, and as Symmetric DSL (SDSL) which supports high speed access across the local access loop in both directions.




Wireless Internet Service:
High-speed satellite and microwave Internet connections for business can replace or back up traditional terrestrial landlines such as Internet T1s and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service.

 How do I find a DSL Provider?

Written by: Patrick Oborn - Dec 4, 2008


In addition to limiting your search a broker will also help you identify important facts about your new service. Remember to look at the extra charges like equipment and installation. Sometimes these charges are waived and sometimes they are not. Also be careful to note the commitment. Is it 1 year or two years that you're committing to? Many companies will offer bigger discounts but lock you in to a longer contract. Don't get caught! Make sure you know what you're getting into by going to a broker and comparing DSL Providers side by side.

A DSL Speed Test is a great way to find out what kind of speed you're really getting. Is your connection really slow or is it just the fast that you're working with an old, slow, or over tasked computer? Simply find the DSL Speed Test by performing a search on Google and you'll quickly be on your way to finding out what you're really getting. You'll have to shut down your programs that are accessing the net and then perform the test which takes 30 seconds or so. It's very important to shut down programs accessing the net because these will impair the test and will cause your connection to appear slower than it actually is since some of it is being used.

One last "gotcha" is the introductory price. DSL Providers may claim to give you service for $20 or $25 per month but it's likely an introductory price that lasts only a few months. If you're willing to sign on for the term, just make sure you know what you're paying when the introduction ends.
