Feature Details
With SBC/Yahoo DSL High-Speed Internet Service, you get convenient,
easy-to-use features and blazing-fast speeds so you can do more, see more, and
enjoy the best the Internet has to offer!
Static IP Address Host your own games or Web site and establish a
secure connection with your work so you can telecommute. SBC/Yahoo DSL includes
a static IP address with every account. Other providers usually charge extra for
it.
No Cost for Equipment - SBC/Yahoo DSL includes the necessary
hardware at no additional monthly cost as long as you're a SBC/Yahoo Broadband
customer. Two computers can be connected directly to the gateway using USB(1)
and Ethernet(1) . Connecting three or more computers requires a 10 Megabit
Ethernet hub, sold separately.
Automatic Gateway Performance Upgrades Our award-winning SBC/Yahoo
DSLgateway allows us to perform automatic updates and routine maintenance to
keep your DSL running at its best!
Packaged Home Networking With our Connect & Protect upgrade, you receive:
- Home Networking Support so you can connect up to two computers
directly to our gateway (and up to five computers with an inexpensive 10 MB hub)
- Gateway-based Firewall stops hackers before they reach your computer
- Virus Protection stops email viruses from reaching your computer
- Spam Filtering keeps unsolicited email from cluttering your inbox
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. Just open your browser
and go wherever you want to go. It's your Internet, and with SBC/Yahoo DSL the
Internet waits for you!
Up to 50 Times Faster than Dial-up Super-fast speed enables you to
spend more time doing what you want to do, both online and off!
Talk and Surf With SBC/Yahoo DSL, you can use your telephone or
fax machine while you surf, all on the same phone line!
Which service is right for you
Cable Internet connections can be full of bottlenecks, wireless connections are
a hassle to set up, and the others ISPs just don't provide the speed and
convenience that SBC/Yahoo DSL High Speed Internet Service delivers. That's
because we thought of everything, from a great price with no commitment, to
enhanced features that let you get the most out of your T1 Internet service.

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.

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!

Still using dial-up access at home Consider
this...
Dial-up modems are a thing of the past!
In the beginning, there was dial-up access, and it worked okay for
most people when it first came out. It was slow, just as it still is,
but a decade ago it was really the only option available to the majority
of people.
 |
SBC/Yahoo DSL High-Speed Internet Service is so fast, so
easy to install, and such a blast to use, you'll wish you had
ordered it months ago! Our award-winning, easy-to-install
gateway makes it as easy as 1-2-3, and it's yours to use at NO
ADDITIONAL MONTHLY COST.
|
|
|
 |
SBC/Yahoo DSL saves you money when you consider the cost of
a dedicated phone line for a dial-up connection, the ISP's
monthly charges, and all the time you waste waiting for
slow-loading Web pages, graphics, and files. 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. Just open your browser
and surf! It's that fast!

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

multiple users in your home can surf the Internet at the same
time. You can't do that with dial-up access.
