Naked DSL
Naked DSL is new to the internet market and has broken all the previously set rules. But, is this new technology right for you? Below is a simple explanation of Naked DSL and how this new service can benefit you in more ways than one!
Think of Naked DSL as ADSL broadband without the need for a traditional phone service. So essentially, you have the high speed internet connection plus the elimination of a costly phone service bill each month. An expert in all things Naked DSL, Luke Howes explains in his article "The Bare Facts About Naked DSL" that this new technology is similar to traditional ADSL connections where the internet connection is supplied over copper wiring. The difference with Naked DSL is that an active phone service is required for connection, but not the ongoing DSL service.
Kicking off in the late 90’s, Naked DSL was slow to pick up as the ISP (internet service provider) market was in its infancy and it simply wasn’t a good business move for companies to start selling it in high volume. But like all technology, the demand for it grew quite rapidly and significant infrastructure was built to handle the service.
When it comes to making voice calls, landline usage has been on a downward spiral well before Naked DSL was on the market because mobile phone call rates are so cheap nowadays. Many people are using their mobile phone number as their main line of communication and with the added benefit of text messaging and emailing via mobile phones, it’s easy to see why landline usage is declining.
Alternatively, there is another technological advancement which is known as VoIP (voice over internet protocol). This service is a great option if you want to make calls through your Naked DSL connection. VoIP simply allows you to make a phone call over an internet connection instead of using the public phone line infrastructure.
Australians are communicating more and more as the years and technology progress. Naked DSL can allow you to not only reduce your communication costs by eliminating phone line service bills, providing super fast internet, allowing you to leverage cheap mobile phone rates, and even better, chat over the phone for free via VoIP. It’s pretty easy to see that Naked DSL really is the answer to saving money while not having to compromise on quality, the speed of your connection or communication.
This fantastic innovation in broadband has already changed the way people communicate in Australia. Now all you need to do is discover the benefits of Naked DSL for yourself!
