M-Web launches 128K ISDN service

M-Web already offers a 64K ISDN service, an increasingly popular choice amongst its member base, and has now extended this offering to include the even faster 128K ISDN service. By using both ports on the modem, and two telephone lines simultaneously, the 128K ISDN service can double a user's surfing speeds.

ISDN, which stands for integrated services digital network, offers numerous advantages over traditional analogue connectivity:

* ISDN offers a high-quality digital connection at either 64 or 128 Kbps, ensuring excellent speed and reliability.
* With ISDN you'll connect to the Internet in a much shorter time (2 to 3 seconds - many times faster than an ordinary analogue modem), which helps to cut costs.
* Digital transmission results in a more stable connection.
* ISDN works equally quickly when sending and receiving data. So you can, for example, send a 1 Megabyte file in the same amount of time that it takes to receive it.

The small business user is the obvious target for this service, but anybody who wants a faster, stable Internet connection would benefit. Whether you want to browse the web, send e-mail, do your banking online or video streaming and video conferencing, ISDN is your answer.

"Various other fast options are available, but ISDN remains a cost-effective, practical way of ensuring a faster, more stable Internet connection," says Derek Hershaw, General Manager: Dial Services at M-Web.

Although other ISPs also offer ISDN services, Hershaw believes that the quality of M-Web's extensive network, professional customer service and unique content and value-added services make it a clear leader in the delivery of fast Internet services to the South African consumer.
