What make this dialup service High Speed?

Our ports support V.92 & V.44
v.92 is an enhancement to v.90 56K technology. It includes Modem-on-Hold, v.44, Quick Connect, and PCM Upstream. Each of these enhancements represents a significant enhancement to your dial-up experience.

Modem-on-Hold allows you to put your internet connection on hold while you take or make a telephone call. Modem on Hold enables "broadband-like" voice and data services over the same telephone lines, at a much more reasonable dial-up price. You can answer your phone calls while remaining online, without the additional cost of a second phone line.

Quick Connect shortens the length of time it takes your modem to negotiate its connection to your ISP by about half.

v.44 compression allows you to get greater effective transmission rates than without v.44 even though the electrical connection remains the same. In tests comparing v.42bis - the current compression protocol - and v.44 in normal web-browsing conditions, v.44 out-performed v.42 by up to 60%. This extra compression allows you to achieve greater data throughput even though your connection speed remains the same. You'll enjoy faster Web browsing and file downloads!

PCM Upstream allows "56K"-like uploads as well. Using v.90, the maximum upload speed is 31.2Kbps; under v.92 it is possible to upload at speeds up to 48Kbps. This means sending e-mails, uploading files, playing online games, and similar activities that involve uploading data will be significantly faster.

Requirement for using this new technology

You have to have v.92/v.44 modem

You must use an access number that has a v.92 mark next to it.

FAQs

Is my modem v.92/v.44 capable?

Possibly. v.92-capable modems have been on the market since this past winter (2000/2001), so if you have a new modem it may already have support for v.92. Even if your modem doesn't currently support v.92, several of the most popular modem manufacturers already have v.92/v.44 equipped drivers available for their modems. If you have an upgradeable modem manufactured by one of these companies, all you need to do is download and install the driver update and you're ready to enjoy the benefits of v.92.

What do I need for Modem-on-Hold?

Call waiting on your line, as provided by your local telephone company, a v.92-capable modem, and a software modem-on-hold client installed on your computer. You can probably expect this software to come packaged with your modem's drivers.

How does Modem-on-Hold work?

Modem-on-Hold works much like the current call-waiting used in voice conversations. If you receive a call while you're online, the modem-on-hold client will prompt you to take or ignore the call. If you choose to take the call, just pick up the telephone. If you want to make a call, the modem-on-hold client will allow you to suspend your modem connection in the same way. Your modem connection will hold for five minutes while you're on the phone. If this time is exceeded your internet connection will be lost. When you're finished with your conversation, just hang up the telephone and your modem connection will resume.
