The ZoomTown Advantage

Which broadband Internet access solution is best for you? There are many misconceptions about broadband (high-speed) Internet access. It is time to set the record straight. While residential cable may offer a competitive price for high-speed Internet access, they cannot match the value offered by ZoomTown ADSL.

When comparing ZoomTown ADSL and cable broadband solutions, ask the following key questions. Take a moment to get the facts. You and your family or business deserve them.

• Is my bandwidth shared?

  Cable users share network bandwidth, ZoomTown subscribers do not. This is a key difference between the two broadband options. Does this matter? Yes.

  Because cable users share their network connection with other users in their local area, their average connection can be slower than its potential speed, particularly during peak hours. If everyone is on the network at the same time, access speeds can noticeably drop. Because ZoomTown's ADSL lines are dedicated, there is no need to share bandwidth with your neighbors.

• Is my connection secure?

  Security is an important concern for all Internet users. Maintaining a secure connection is the responsibility of both the service provider and the end user. At ZoomTown, our Network Operation Center is constantly monitoring the network for outside security risks. It is impossible to predict when and where the next virus will arise. However, when these threats occur, our team responds with speed and skill.

  In addition to ZoomTown's network monitoring, all subscribers share responsibility for securing their individual computer(s) against viruses and similar threats. This can be accomplished through a variety of commercial anti-virus software. While this step is voluntary, it is strongly encouraged and applies to all Internet users whether they use an ADSL, cable, dial-up or other connection.

• How reliable is my connection?

  ZoomTown works with your existing telephone lines. Can you remember the last time you lost your telephone service? Probably not. With ZoomTown, your high-speed Internet connection is maintained by the the same company you have always counted on to keep your phone service available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

  Moreover, when it comes to mission-critical data, local Fortune 500 companies generally turn to Cincinnati Bell. With the kind of proven reliability trusted time and time again by major corporations, why go anywhere else to fill your high-speed Internet access needs?

• Who is my Internet Service Provider?

  ZoomTown and cable are both high-volume data "pipes". An ISP (Internet Service Provider) connects that pipe to the rest of the Internet. ZoomTown uses Cincinnati Bell's ISP, Fuse, that provides email and free anti-virus/anti-spam protection.

  If you already have an ISP that provides the email address that your friends, family or business associates already know and use on a regular basis, don't worry. TrueSwitch from Cincinnati Bell makes changing to ZoomTown easy. TrueSwitch copies all your personal data to your new ZoomTown account, notifies everyone in your address book about your new ZoomTown email address, forwards emails sent to your old email address and helps you cancel your old ISP account. Even better, TrueSwitch from Cincinnati Bell is FREE!

  With cable, it is not that simple. In most cases, you use the cable company as your ISP. This means you have to switch email addresses, web pages and contact all of your friends, family and business associates with the new information. You could keep your current ISP and get cable, but you'll pay the full rate for both - adding anywhere from $10-$25/month to the equation.

  ZoomTown and Fuse subscribers can also use WebMail to receive and send email from any computer in the world with Internet access. And Fuse provides simple, reliable dial-up access if you need to surf the web while traveling.

• Is the service available for my business?

  Considering a broadband connection for your small or medium-sized business? Because ZoomTown ADSL uses existing copper telephone wire, it is available in any office or business district where standard phone service is available. Can you think of any business district without phone service?

  Due to the residential focus of the installed base, cable lines are not available in many commercial districts. As a result, securing a cable broadband connection for your business may require additional time and/or costs to achieve.
