What is High-speed Internet?
Sprint high-speed Internet (digital subscriber line) carries both voice and data simultaneously using your existing
phone line. It delivers high-speed Internet connectivity to your home using your existing telephone
line at speeds that will allow you to do more than dial-up. What this means to you is that you can
talk on the phone and surf the Net at the same time.
So, why stick with the antiquated dial-up method when High-speed Internet offers you the freedom and flexibility to multi-task?

How High-speed Internet Works
A Sprint high-speed Internet modem is installed on your existing phone line. This modem transmits
the data over your existing phone line, enabling voice and data to be transmitted
at the same time.
This is what gives you the freedom to talk and surf simultaneously without any interruptions
to your Internet connection. If you're talking on the phone while surfing, your speeds will
not be affected and your voice connection will be as clear as it has always been. And because
Sprint high-speed Internet is an "instant on" connection there is no waiting for a dial-up connection
and no busy signals - with just a click of the mouse you're surfing the net!
To utilize your Sprint high-speed Internet connection your computer will need to have a
Network Card or USB Network Adapter.
The Network Card consists of a printed circuit board that is installed inside your computer. Many but not all
computers sold today have a Network Card installed at the time of purchase. The USB Network Adapter plugs
directly into an available USB port and in effect turns it into an external Network Card.
Either device permits you to access to a Local Area Network (LAN).
