ADSL: The New Approach
Typically an Internet customer shares his or her connection with at least 40 other customers, if not much more. This highly shared connection adversely affects the customer’s expected speed and quality of service. Since this high-sharing ratio is not transparent to most customers, they do not understand how their speed can reduce to 2 kbps during high peak hours every day, especially when they pay for a 1Mbps or 512Kbps speed every month. IONet’s position evolves around three customer needs: IONet effectively meets each of the above needs by offering transparent low-sharing access at reduced market prices. This transparency assures the expected delivery of speed during high peak times. Most importantly, IONet focuses on a market segment rather than on the entire market. This enables IONet to effectively introduce value-added services based on demand and one-on-one customer involvement. More attention. More dedication. ADSL: The New ImageIONet has a distinctive approach to ADSL. It offers dedicated or shared 1Mbps based on an Internet sharing ratio. More formally, sharing ratio is the number of lines sharing the same physical media path to access the Internet. SHARE 5 means that only five customer lines will share connection to the Internet. This 1:5 sharing ratio guarantees a minimum speed of 205 kbps during peak hours . Peak times are around 2 hours each day when all five users are concurrent and heavily download. SHARE 10 means that ten customer lines will share the same physical media path to the Internet. This 1:10 sharing ratio guarantees a minimum speed of 103 kbps during peak times . Peak times are around two hours each day when all ten users heavily download at the same time.

Every Internet customer has a separate modem, phone line and Internet account. However, most customer lines share the same physical media path to access the Internet.
