DSL is an acronym for Digital Subscriber Line service. The brand name for Star Telephone Membership Corporation’s DSL service is FireLine DSL Service. DSL is a new technology that takes the existing copper telephone wires already in your home, and significantly increases the bandwidth those lines provide, by turning them into a high-speed digital link. Basically, this means that with FireLine DSL Service, the same telephone wires that you already have in your home can be used to carry data to your computer at speeds up to fourteen times faster than you get with a regular 28.8k dial-up connection. More bandwidth equals more speed.

Why FireLine DSL?

FireLine DSL employs leading edge technology that offers you super fast Internet connection, fast download and upload times, quick screen pops, a constant connection to the Internet, and an affordable price. For those in our service area who desire a faster, more convenient connection to the Internet, FireLine DSL is your solution.

How does FireLine DSL work?

FireLine 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. A splitter placed in your home or office separates voice and digital data. The splitter sends voice transmissions to the telephone, and digital data transmissions to a DSL modem (which are available through Star Telephone Membership Corporation). Fax machines will operate as usual. In certain circumstances filters may be needed to provide additional separation of voice and data.
