CityStar® DSL Questions and Answers

What is DSL?
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a technology for bringing high-bandwidth information to homes and small businesses over ordinary copper telephone lines. Digital data is transmitted to your computer directly as digital data instead of being modulated by a modem, and this allows the phone company to use a much wider bandwidth for transmitting it to you.

Can I run server services over my DSL connection? One of the first questions we concerned ourselves about dealt with this issue since CityStar® has always sought to provide value-added services to its customers and not restrict anything. While the abuses of some can spoil things for everybody, we have found a compromise that allows high bandwidth for all ports but with heavy monitoring. We will be closely monitoring dsl statistics reports and those who go over their bandwidth quota, as mentioned above, will be sent a warning, then restricted. We recommend if you're running a server for personal use, that you limit the simultaneous connections to just two or three. This allows people to access their machines for work, to do various server services for personal use but prevents saturation of the DSL bandwidth. If we didn't closely monitor our DSL accounts then a few people would very likely use the majority of bandwidth allocated to all of our DSL customers. By restricting server traffic, we are able to provide dedicated services at previously unheard of prices.
