About DSL
What is DSL?
Digital Subscriber Line, or DSL, is an Internet connection that enters your home or business on a phone line. Asynchronous DSL (ADSL) rides on your existing phoneline. Synchronous DSL/SDSL/g.SHDSL, use a dedicated phone line included in the service price.
ADSL is most appropriate for home and small business, SDSL or g.SHDSL is most appropriate for medium to large businesses. DSL is limited to distance and copper line performance. ADSL provides a faster downstream rate than upstream, from 1.5Mbps to 15Mbps. SDSL or g.SHDSL provides the same downstream and upstream rates, from 128Kbps to 2.3Mbps.

Modem Rental
Depending on the flavor of DSL you order, you may rent a modem rather than purchasing one. Please see 'DSL Packages' above for modem rental pricing.
Visionary also offers a modem purchase for ADSL products, allowing you to avoid a monthly cost. There are benefits to both, and you must decide which you prefer. Some Beyond Extreme DSL packages include the use of a router provided by Visionary at a $0 lease rate.

What if I Don't Qualify?
Of the many tools that exist to qualify your line for DSL, none are entirely accurate. In many situations, these tools report that you cannot get DSL when your location qualifies. We double-check all orders once received to ensure you qualify at your location. If you have had trouble ordering DSL in the past, ask us for a thorough test dslonline@vcn.com
