What is KansasNet DSL?
KansasNet DSL is a high-speed, dedicated Internet connection that resides on any qualified existing plain telephone service phone line.
What are the advantages of KansasNet DSL over Dial-up service?
|
|
Advantage 1: Speed
First, and foremost, DSL is tons faster than your dial-up. How much faster? You may have heard of a “56Kbps” modem (the highest data rate standard analog dial-up modem). With KansasNet DSL in AT&T/SBC Territories, you can achieve a downstream connection at speeds up to 6000Kbps (6Mb/s) (Premium/Advanced+ service options).
|
|
Advantage 3: Have multiple computers share one connection to the Internet.
A KansasNet DSL connection is easily shared with other PCs with the addition of some simple networking components.

¹ Indicates monthly pricing for new subscribers with a 1-year term commitment. An Early Termination Fee (ETF) will be applied for any service cancelled prior to the termination agreement date. The Early Termination Fee will equal $249 or your monthly service rate times the number of months left in your service agreement, whichever is less.
² Indicates monthly pricing for new subscribers without a 1-year term commitment. A $99 additional one-time setup fee applies when you choose service without term commitment; this additional fee must be paid in full upon service agreement.
* Indicates rate applicable for residential telephone lines only (rate not available for business-lines, see below).
§ Indicates rate applicable for business-grade telephone lines.
** If you choose the single-PC service option, KansasNet only provides basic tech support by telephone if you have a single PC connected directly to the DSL modem.

How Do I get KansasNet DSL?
The first step in getting DSL is have KansasNet qualify the phone line you would like to have DSL added to. Please contact us at 785-776-1452.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Is there a term commitment? How is the service billed? How do I cancel?
There are both month-to-month, and one-year commitment service plans. In either case, 20-days notice of cancellation is required. Notice must be sent via an email from your KansasNet email address to
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
, or by submitting our Cancellation Form. For more details on KansasNet's service cancellation policy, visit our Billing Information page. The modem package and any additional hardware must be paid for prior to, or during, the installation of the service. The monthly service fee is prorated only in the first month and charges begin the day after installation. Payment for monthly service must be done by AutoDebit from a checking, savings, or credit card account.
Can I get a static IP address?
Static IP addresses are available for $10/month per IP address.
What is a firewall? Do I need one?
As with any Internet connection, there are security issues. KansasNet recommends the usage of a hardware or software firewall with your DSL service. Most routers will provide basic hardware firewall features. An example of a software firewall product is ZoneAlarm. Product information, and availability of ZoneAlarm can be found at www.zonelabs.com
Note: We have had good experience with ZoneAlarm as a software firewall, however, we cannot guarantee interoperability of their product with our systems. KansasNet does not provide technical support for third party products or services.
Do I have to use your hardware?
You do not have to purchase and use the hardware KansasNet offers to subscribers. There are different protocols used for DSL service around the nation, so if you are in the market for hardware, make sure you consult KansasNet sales department for compatibility.
Do I get an email address or web hosting space with this service?
Yes. Your email address is your choice (among the available addresses) and will be confined to the domain kansas.net (i.e.
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
). You will get 5MB of space on our personal web server. A backup dial-up account will be provided to users who request it.
How can I measure my KansasNet DSL connection rate?

What are the advantages of KansasNet DSL over “cable” Internet service?
The most common method of bandwidth allocation over “Cable Internet” networks is to introduce the connection to the “node” of the network. The node is what ties everyone in your area to the cable network. The downside of this method is that there is a pool of resources for everyone to draw from. The more connections drawing from these resources, the less that others will have. In layman’s terms, fighting with everyone on your “node” for bandwidth. KansasNet DSL is different. Each KansasNet DSL customer has a reserved port directly into KansasNet’s network. For this reason, we can allocate bandwidth, and make connection rate guarantees. Your connection will be the only one drawing bandwidth from your assigned port into our network.
