Integrated Router You don't have to buy a router to connect multiple computers to our SBC/Yahoo DSL gateway.

Supports Ethernet and USB Connections Unlike standard DSL and cable modems, you have the freedom to use the USB port and/or an Ethernet connection on your computer. Most broadband providers require an Ethernet card, and do not support USB connections.

Works with Windows, Mac, and Linux/UNIX SBC/Yahoo DSL works with all of these operating systems. Other companies and technologies may require "upgrades" to your account to work with Linux or Unix platforms.

Dedicated Connection Unlike cable providers, you don't share your SBC/Yahoo DSL connection with your neighbors, so there's no frustrating shared-connection slowdown during peak hours

Always-on Access No need to dial in to your provider each time you want to check your email, read the latest news, play a game, or listen to music online, because with SBC/Yahoo DSL you're always online.

Thinking about cable Consider this... Cable Internet access is a shared connection that suffers from peak time slowdowns. With SBC/Yahoo DSL, you have a dedicated connection that is uniquely yours, so you don't experience online "traffic jams". Most cable providers do not provide a static IP address with their basic service, but SBC/Yahoo DSL does! With a static IP address you can host your own Web site and games, and establish a secure connection so you can telecommute with your office. You won't have to wait for a cable guy to set up your SBC/Yahoo DSL We do all of the work outside your home and then send our award-winning, easy-to-install gateway for you to use at NO ADDITIONAL MONTHLY COST. SBC/Yahoo DSL allows you the freedom to connect up to two computers directly to our gateway (and up to five computers with an inexpensive 10 MB hub, which is available at most electronics stores) with our exclusive Connect & Protect™upgrade, so multiple users in your home can surf the Internet at the same time. With cable Internet access, you will most likely be required to purchase or lease multiple modems. Simply put, cable is a thing of the past. SBC/Yahoo DSL delivers more features with greater ease and convenience, along with the confidence that you'll enjoy from being part of the SBC/Yahoo family!

With SBC/Yahoo DSL, you can use your telephone and surf the Internet at the same time on the same phone line! With SBC/Yahoo DSL your connection to the Internet is always-on, so you can easily check your email, read the latest news, instantly shop, and listen to online music anytime you want without waiting for a connection.
