(Bledsoe Telephone Cooperative will supply one ADSL modem
that will allow one computer with already installed ethernet
card to access the internet - the use of more that one
computer is allowed, but the customer must provide and
configure the router correctly to allow more that one
computer to access the internet - use of a wireless device
is permitted, but Bledsoe Telephone does not provide
technical support - you must contact the wireless
manufacture's technical support for help Note: the default
connection on most wireless routers will work with Bledsoe
Telephone's ADSL server because Bledsoe Telephone only uses
DHCP without the use of a username and password- do not run
the setup disk that comes with the wireless router. Bledsoe
Telephone will only provide one public, dynamically
assigned by DHCP, IP address with each ADSL connection. A
static IP address may be obtained for $20 a month per IP
address.)

How it works:
ADSL runs over
the phone line already installed in your home, and allows
you to talk on the phone while you surf the net at VERY FAST
SPEEDS, so you will not need a second telephone line for
this service.
DSL technology takes advantage of your
existing phone line. While regular phone calls are
transferred at relatively low frequencies, DSL data is
transmitted at much higher frequencies. Both types of
transmissions can occur simultaneously, without
interference.
Voice and digital data are separated
by a splitter or microfilter placed in your home or office.
The splitter or microfilter sends voice transmissions to the
telephone, and digital data transmissions to a ADSL modem.
Fax machines will operate as usual.
DSL offers a
virtually instantaneous connection, with no lengthy dial-in
process. It's almost like flipping on a light switch: DSL is
always there, whenever you want it.
ADSL
availability for Bledsoe Telephone's telephone subscribers:
Bledsoe Telephone is in the process of
providing ADSL service to its customers. ADSL
service is currently available in the Dunlap and Pikeville
offices. If you live in the 447, 533, 554, 881 or
949 exchanges, please call or e-mail us to see if you can
get ADSL service where you live. ADSL is an added
service to your phone line just like caller ID or call
waiting, so you would take the price for ADSL and
Internet and add it you what you are already paying for
phone service. If you have a second phone line to dial up to
the Internet, you could drop the second line and add ADSL to
your first line. If you have any questions about ADSL
service, please call (423) 447-2121.
