Did you know that most people in the Aledo area with 56K modems actually connect to the Internet at about half that speed? Despite what your modem may be telling you, your connection to the Internet is determined first and foremost by the quality of the Southwestern Bell connection your computer uses to connect to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Whether you're using AOL, Earthlink, Flashnet or some other ISP, the quality of most phone lines in the Aledo area prevent your modem from connecting any faster than 26K! Unfortunately, buying a new modem or calling the phone company won't help.

Aledo BroadBand will change all that! By providing Internet access through fixed wireless technology, your computer won't have to use a phone line to get online.

Testing Your Connection Speed
