Mammoth Networks Delivers DSL Upgrade Path to ISPs
(ContentDesk) January 7, 2006 -- Mammoth Networks has announced the company's wholesale DSL is developed and ready for Internet Service Providers.
Mammoth offers wholesale DSL in the nine Western states, allowing ISPs and Virtual ISPs to deliver DSL to their customers as an upgrade path to broadband.The company describes their ISP product as an upgrade path from traditional services such as dialup internet access.
By offering DSL at wholesale, Mammoth enables ISPs to enter the broadband market, or expand their reach to cover a larger area of the country.
The company's approach is unique, allowing ISPs to control all aspects of the customer's DSL, including ordering, provisioning, and access to the internet."You can say that Mammoth has empowered the ISP - they control the DSL line.
We just operate the fiber," said Brian Worthen, who oversees product development at Mammoth.Mammoth's customers, termed Partners by the company, can order DSL throughout the company's coverage area for delivery to the Partner's customer.
These Partners may not have offered DSL to their customer base in the past, or may have started offering DSL to their customers on a limited basis.
The wholesale approach offered by Mammoth allows their Partners to deliver broadband on a larger scale, without the worries of paying for their own DSL network.This approach is different from the model usually followed by telecommunications companies, who must build the network first, then slowly add customers to pay for that same network.
Partners of Mammoth enjoy being profitable with each group of customers they put on Mammoth's fiber.Worthen went on to explain recent FCC rulings that decrease regulation for internet services have started swinging internet providers into a phase of increased market competition.
Mammoth's wholesale product is primed for the increase in competition, keeping the cost of entry low for their ISP Partners.Mammoth Networks is an aggregator of data services serving nine Western states.
Mammoth enables its Partners by erasing the invisible lines of the telecommunications structure, and leveling the playing field for service providers.

"This technology forces cable and telco to add more disclaimers, because Visionary's DSL is the fastest broadband in Casper."The company has also introduced a bonded DSL that allows a business to be served by eight lines...

Here we take a look at these two popular broadband connections and try to determine which one is better: DSL vs. Cable.Cable Speed vs. DSLThe most common question that comes up is which type of connection is faster, DSL or Cable? To answer this, it is important to compare both upload and download speeds.
Now, so you have something to compare these speeds to, your average dial-up connection is about 28 - 56 Kbps. Most often, however, you won't be able to get 56k through dial up, as most services can not handle this speed.The average speed of a DSL download is 1.0 - 1.5Mbps. That's megabytes per second - about 20 times as fast as the fastest dial-up connection. This is fast, but consider Cable, which can give you...

Depending on the type of connection (dial up, LAN, cable,DSL), you may have several openings for potential mischiefby hackers, malicious code or viruses.Computers with dedicated connections rate the most at risk.If someone or something gets into one of these ports andinto your computer, they can potentially...
