Yes, it's true there will be others that provide ISP services for DSL connections, including Qwest. However, we feel StarNet is the best place to have your DSL link handled.

As a practical matter, taking care of DSL connections requires a fairly substantial investment in infrastructure.

From the service provider's perspective, DSL isn't for the faint at heart. Some places will say they support DSL but the speed of your connection to the home doesn't do you much good if the ISP won't invest in the other things you need to actually use that speed.

Doing this right costs money and StarNet has been planning for DSL since 1996. StarNet already had the most advanced technical infrastructure of any local ISP. And we added to that when DSL arrived--more and faster servers, more bandwidth to the Internet, the works. We also added dedicated staff specifically to handle the DSL project.

Because StarNet has been working to bring DSL to this market for years, we understand the needs and nuances of the service better than anyone else in the area.
