Welcome to Can I Get DSL?
The name of our site is the question often asked when looking to upgrade from dial-up Internet access to broadband service, or when looking to make a move: "Can I Get DSL?"

We hope that you can get DSL or Cable Broadband Internet service, as these are the two least expensive technologies for residential users. DSL availability diminishes the farther you get from you local telephone company office. Cable Internet is generally available anywhere you can get cable TV service. It shares the same cable, much like DSL shares your telephone line.

An emerging service is fiber optic broadband, which uses glass fibers instead of copper wires to carry the signals. Available in selected areas, fiber optic service is capable of speeds much higher than DSL or Cable Internet and will eventually provide Internet, television and telephone service over one cable.

Another new service is 4G Wireless. It offers speeds similar to DSL and Cable, but requires no wireline connection. You can also get both desktop and mobile service on the same account. WiMAX 4G wireless service is in the process of building-out nationwide right now.

Don't live in town? Neighborhood not wired for DSL or Cable? Then what you need is two-way Satellite Internet. A professional installer will mount and aim the dish on your roof, similar to the dishes used for Dish Network or DirecTV. The difference is that the Satellite Internet dish both transmits and receives. No phone line is needed for this service. It's completely self contained. You only need a clear view of the southern sky and AC power for the receiver, which could even be a generator at your cabin.
