DSL Broadband

Business DSL for your business and home. See our DSL Broadband pages for full details, but to give a hint at some of the things that are included that you don't see from our competition:

  • Static IP addresses for your computers or firewall.
  • Business servers are allowed, such as e-mail, web and ftp. Some restrictions apply.
  • A virtual email server for your domain or backup service for your email server.
  • Domain name service hosting on our DNS Servers - primary and/or secondary.
  • National dial-up account for when you are on the road.
  • and much more.

We can also accommodate special situations including multi-line DSL with balancing or hot fail-over, public wireless Hotspots backhauled on DSL for greater reliability, and much more. Just ask. These special services may incur additional costs.

Fiber to the Premises

We have just started putting fiber to some businesses. Currently this is available only in the Port of Whitman Industrial Park in Pullman, WA.

Apartment Broadband

Apartment Access comes in three flavors - Ethernet, HomePNA and Wireless.

  • The apartment complexes below in green are wired with Ethernet. Get an account, plug your Ethernet cable into the wall and you are ready to go. Easy and reliable.
  • The apartment complexes in brown have HomePNA. It is a little more complicated to setup, but gives the same great reliabliltiy as Ethernet over telephone lines. You don't have to have telephone service to use this HomePNA service.
  • The apartment complexes in purple have wireless access. While wireless will never be as dependable as wired connections, it is hard to beat it's convience - especially for laptop owners.
