RAIN xDSL
Info/Pricing
RAIN aDSL is available to residents and businesses within three miles of
their local telephone company's Central Offices. Currently RAIN aDSL is
available in most GTE serviced areas in Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles
counties. Customers will incur additional charges from GTE, in addition to
their existing line charges, and may select from several service offerings
below from RAIN. Three components differentiate the levels of service (Bronze -
Platinum Plus); Download Speed, Upload Speed, and CIR (Committed Information
Rate) which is the minimum transmission rate guaranteed by GTE.
Please check out this link off GTE's site to check for availability in
your area before continuing. At this site please enter your ten digit
phone number of the phone line you are interested in installing DSL
service onto. If the link returns a 'Your line qualifies', or a
'Maybe' then there's a good chance that DSL will be available for you as
further testing will be required by GTE. At this point you should contact
GTE for further testing of your line. If the link returns a 'Sorry' then
you will not be able to receive DSL for your particular phone line or
area.

* "Bronze Plus uses RADSL (Rate Adaptive ADSL) which means the
equipment will adapt your speed to the fastest working connection your line can
produce, up to 768k on downloads and 128k on uploads."
**The CIR is the determinant factor in your connection to RAIN. CIR is the
prioritization factor that determines usage in the GTE Wide Area Network (WAN)
cloud that connects the end user to RAIN and the Internet. CIR is the minimum
data transmission rate guaranteed by GTE - This differs from connection speed
in that the transmission rate changes every millisecond based on WAN traffic
patterns. |
