Business Internet Ontario

Both are types of Internet signals that are often referred to as broadband or High Speed Internet:

• DSL (Digital Subscriber Line):

Delivers Internet directly through the copper phone wiring inside your home.

• FTTN (Fiber to the node):

In some areas, we also offer FTTN which is deployed the same way, but is delivered via a fiber connection which allows for faster Internet speeds up to 50 Mbps. On our website we refer to all Internet service delivered over the telephone wires as DSL for simplicity.

• Cable:

Transmits digital data over existing Coaxial cable television lines in your home.

• No. There are two types of DSL and FTTN connections; “Regular” and “”Dry Loop”
• Regular DSL requires an active phone line.
• Dry Loop DSL is what is installed when an active landline does not exist.
• For customers with landlines, no technician is required to go to the house.
• “Dry Loop” DSL installations occur differently than Regular DSL. Depending on the previous provider, it is possible that the landline is no longer going into the demarcation point. For this reason, a technician is scheduled to test the line at your residence.
