There are many types of DSL, depending on your location and what you plan on using the Internet for. We can help you decide what service is best for you. Here is a brief description and speed of the different types of DSL.

Internet / Intranet and FTP- ADSL (Asymmetric DSL) Asymmetric means the downstream and upstream are different speeds.

-Line share service, piggy backs on your current Voice line. You MUST have a voice line from your ILEC (at&t, Qwest, or Verizon)
-Dry line service,has NO voice line requirements as it is delivered on a dedicated pair of copper

ADSL SOHO accounts include...

  • Up to 10 POP3 or IMAP E-mail boxes (you@LBDSL.net) Each mail box gives you 2GB of storage space.
  • Dial-up access while you are traveling away from your DSL connection. 10 free hours/month with 6000+ local access numbers. (a unlimited dial-up account is available upon request)
  • Reverse DNS for your static IP's available upon request.
  • A 21 day satisfaction guarantee
  • Dry ADSL SOHO lines include a SLA (Service Level Agreement)
  • Domain Web Hosting (Additional Charge)

ADSL SOHO Installation charges:

    • Dry ADSL SOHO professional installation is $225 with a $129 rebate ($96 after rebate, expires 9/30/10) Rebate info can be found here. (Required, due to the new loop having to be installed)

-Requires each computer to have a NIC (Network Interface Card) also known as Ethernet cards to connect to the DSL Router.

*For these configurations, Lightning Bolt uses two (2) static IP addresses to provide the Service and assigns one (1) static IP address to the router. A total of three (3) static IP addresses will be unavailable to the End User. NAT via the provided router is not available for these configurations.


ADSL2+ : ADSL2+ is the next generation of ADSL Broadband. Downstream bandwidth can be doubled up to a distance as far as 8,000 wire feet from the central office.

Our current ADSL2+ coverage areas are: Atlanta, GA, Chicago, IL, Dallas, TX, Los Angeles, CA, Miami, FL, New York, NY, Philadelphia, PA, San Diego, CA, San Francisco, CA, Seattle, WA, Washington D.C.

Our ADSL2+ products will be delivered on a dry/dedicated copper loop, which means these services will not be attached to any voice service, nor will we require an voice service for ADSL2+ to be installed.

SDSL (Symmetric DSL) Symmetric means the downstream and upstream are the same speeds. SDSL service offers a variety of bandwidths for the business or telecommuter who sends and receives equal amounts of data.

IDSL- IDSL service extends high-speed data capabilities to customers located outside of the typical DSL range as well as those customers whose phone service is provided via Pair Gain and/or Fiber to the Curb.
NOTE: IDSL is available on loops that contain 25,000 feet or less of copper cabling. Many loops contain both copper and fiber cabling. It is possible that, while the LMR distance exceeds 25,000 feet, the loop may still qualify for IDSL service. Fiber cabling, even though included in the LMR distance value, is not considered in determination of the availability of IDSL.
