Faster access by using a non-contended
service.
The major benefit of a non-contended service is speed. At popular
times customers using standard Internet Service Providers will
find the speed of their connection drops as the number of users
per 100 increases from 1 to 20 - 30. This increases the contention
on the network (which is like congestion on a motorway causing
traffic to travel slowly) and the service slows down. Because
we can offer a contention ratio of 1:1, whether you use the Internet
at a busy time or quiet time, you will always get
the speed that your modem supports. E.g. a 56K modem will always
connect at 56K. |

Cheaper phone bills
Internet users incur a cost for every minute they are online. By
connecting at a faster rate, page delivery will be quick, downloads
will be rapid and the time spent online will be less. The result
is that you can pay less for accessing the same data. |
