With our ADSL Lite and Elite accounts, we arrange for BT to simply 'activate' your telephone line for the ADSL digital data connection, removing the need for an engineer to visit your home or business. You are also no-longer limited to the ADSL modem or Router that in traditional ADSL installations is supplied by (and remains the property of) BT. This gives you much more freedom to choose the right product for you, at the right price.

But which product to choose? We don't supply the Splitters and USB Modem or Ethernet Router you will need, but together with Elctronic Frontier (which is part of the Arcum group of companies) we've come up with a recommended short list of products that we believe offer the best value for money and are available to order directly from us.
 


Splitters (Microfilters) Excelsus Z-420UK Microfilter (BT Approved)
A Splitter is a small device that you plug into each of your telephone extensions in order to 'split' them so you can make calls on your ADSL-enabled telephone line. There are two sockets on a Splitter - one for your telephone/fax machine, the other being for your ADSL connection itself.

Prestige 643
ADSL 4 Port Router

 Fully Configured and Delivered For £189 +VAT
The new ZyXEL Prestige 643 is an ideal solution for SOHO users who value super fast Internet access or LAN to LAN connections over existing copper wires. An ADSL-based router with an integrated 4-port 10/100 Mbps switch, the Prestige 643 provides maximum speeds of 8Mbps for up to 4 computers without the extra cost of hubs or switches.

Benefits

Standard-based, auto-sensing ADSL Solution
With Multi-Mode standards support, the P643 automatically senses and switches between full-rate and G.lite standards offered by the service provider. This means that you can easily upgrade from G.lite service to a full-rate service without purchasing a new ADSL Modem. Incorporating ZyXEL' s first-in-the-world PPPoE implementation, the Prestige 643 not only saves the cost of PPPoE installation in individual computers, but also makes Internet access as easy as dial-up network scenarios without new knowledge from users.

An Instant LAN with an Integrated 10/100Mbps Switch
The combination of a switch and router makes the Prestige 643 more space efficient and less expensive than separate boxes. The built-in switch provides each connection a dedicated 10 /100 Mbps bandwidth that greatly increases the throughput for bandwidth-sensitive applications as opposed to a hub where the bandwidth is inefficiently shared by all the stations.

Powerful NAT and Routing Features for Internet Access Sharing
The multimedia-aware NAT (Network Address Translation) feature not only allows an unlimited number of users to access the Internet with a single ISP account, but also supports multimedia applications such as NetMeeting, CUSeeMe, IRC, RealPlayer and ICQ. With PPP, routing and robust security features, the Prestige 643 connects your computers to the Internet while protecting your local network.

Easy of Use and Management
The web browser-based GUI (Graphical User Interface) allows easy installation of the Prestige 643 and effortless management either locally or remotely. With the built-in DHCP server, which automatically assigns and configures IP parameters to the computers on your LAN, Internet connections become plug-and-play.

Prestige 645R
Single Port Router

 Fully Configured and Delivered For £129 +VAT
ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is the hottest technology for Broadband Internet Access as well as providing voice services simultaneously on the same copper line. ADSL line rate using DMT line coding supports up to 8M/1.5Mbps downstream which is more than 140 times faster than analog modem and 800K/512Kbups upstream for Full-Rate (T1.413 Issue2 and G.dmt) / G.lite standard. Such asymmetrical nature makes it ideal for the SOHO environment, where the downstream traffic is typically much higher than the upstream traffic.

Users can now enjoy the multi-media and real time applications such as online gaming , video conferencing and other bandwidth-consuming services by subscribing to ADSL.

Benefits

Multiple-flavor ADSL Standard
The Prestige 645 series offers auto-sensing between Full-rate and G.Lite standards according to Central office switch or DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplier) so a user can easily be upgraded from a G.Lite service to a Full-rate service or vice versa without the cost of new ADSL modem or router.

Plug and Play Connectivity
Pre-configured with service provider's settings, the Prestige 645 series can be automatically installed and to work with your ADSL connection without any manual configuration.

First PPPoE Implementation in the World for Virtual Dial Up
Incorporating ZyXEL' s first-in-the-world PPPoE implementation, the Prestige 645 series enables the users as well as the service providers to make use of the existing dial-up Internet infrastructure. It makes the Internet services charged by usage time that is similar to the dialup scenario. Users don't need to pay extra for PPPoE software while still enjoying the benefit of PPPoE.

Ease of Use and Management
The Prestige 645's SMT (System Management Technical) and the embedded web-based configurator makes the configuration easy for the users while saving time and support effort for service providers.
