You'll want to get your name in & activate the software quickly as the service is limited & on a first come, first serve basis. Just a guess; running the little advertisement bar is probably tracking usage so they can get a feel for what to expect from the initial roll out.

They offer referral credits that applies towards a free DSL modem (worth about $200). You & I will both need a few willing and able friends to sign up who can follow thru with the 1Mb install and who will run their ad bar once in a awhile. Once the service is installed - the ad bar runs when the DSL does.

They'll ask for a referral - I hope you'll give me credit with my email address;     FreeDSL@Online.Pair.com       Thanks !

Interested? .. What is it ? .. How does it work ? ... Don't ask too many questions, not a DSL expert here.
Here's some basic answers from inquires I've had thus far;

• Your computer will still connect to your same existing phone line.
• Yes, you'll need a new modem - refer some of your friends - there is a free modem/referral program.
• No, you don't need to change your telephones. Same old phones will still work as normal on the same existing lines.
• It will work with Windows 95, 98 (or higher), or Windows NT.
• Minimal requirements would be 16Mb of RAM, Pentium 90, IE 4 or Netscape 4.61 - You'll also need about an extra 1Mb of hard drive space to install the required software.
• Absolutely Nothing - If you just sit by your computer waiting for Free DSL to magically appear & install itself,   You really will get - Absolutely Nothing ! (so sign up now!)

  ... Thank You.

How We Do It

Launching in April of 2000, FreeDSL™ from Broadband Digital Group is a new Internet service that provides consumers with free high-speed access to the Internet, utilizing Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology, while offering advertisers and marketers a highly effective way to target those users.

We offer our users free high-speed Internet access over their regular phone lines, as well as free e-mail and browser assistant tools, through our partnership with Winfire, developer of the Personalized Browser AssistantTM.

For advertisers and marketers, our service will offer direct access to a large high-speed Internet audience supporting general network advertising, content affinity, and demographic targeting.

A key component to our FreeDSL™ service is our private labeled FreeDSL™ Browser Assistant, a small navigational bar displayed on our users' computer screens while they are online. The FreeDSL™ Browser Assistant can be positioned to any location on the computer screen, but cannot be closed and must remain visible on the desktop as long as our users are connected through our FreeDSL™ service. This enables advertisers and marketers to deliver messages to our users the entire time they are online.

FreeDSL™ users must provide basic demographic and geographic information, and may be asked in the future for more detailed personal information. This information enables us to provide our advertising and marketing partners with a "nameless" and generic profile, which they can use to customize the information delivered within our FreeDSL™ Browser Assistant window.

Our goal is to become the leader in offering free high-speed Internet access while providing advertisers and marketers access to the largest broadband Internet audience.

Activations, starting in April, will be prioritized on a "first-come-first- serve" basis, so join our FreeDSL™ service today to learn more about the FreeDSL™ Browser Assistant.

DSL Overview

A Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) delivers high-speed Internet access using existing copper telephone lines already installed in hundreds of millions of homes and businesses worldwide. With DSL, consumers and small businesses take advantage of having a dedicated, always-on connection to the Internet. What this means to you…no more having to dial-in to get connected. DSL provides broadband speeds of up to 8Mbps; that’s up to 50 times faster than conventional dial-up connections.

Your existing copper telephone lines are made up of different bandwidth channels. The lower bandwidth channel carries your voice communication (telephone), which leaves the higher bandwidth channel available for two-way high-speed data transmission utilizing DSL technology. There is no need for an additional phone line because DSL uses the higher bandwidth channel your telephone doesn’t. Therefore, you can talk on the phone at the same time you are accessing the Internet at FreeDSL™ Speed!

In order to make it work, your digital modem or router located at your location accesses the local telephone companies’ central office (CO) where the telephone company has installed a DSLAM that translates your DSL signal. The signal is then transmitted from the copper telephone line onto a network backbone, and directed to our location where we verify your access to our network and deliver you to the Internet through our relationship with a backbone network provider.

Broadband Digital Group utilizes a National Fiber Optic Network to provide you with the most reliable, high-speed Digital Subscriber Line service in just about every DSL supported area in North America.
