ADSL - The Benefits
Firstly consider, the use of
ADSL for Internet access on the Internet Guys
ADSL service.
There are two outstanding benefits
to accessing the Internet by ADSL.
1. Speed
Just how fast Internet Guys ADSL
is pretty well covered in the section Incredibly
Fast.
Frequent narrow-band Internet
users often jokingly refer to the World Wide
Web as the "World Wide Wait" because it can
sometimes take a long time to download information
at normal narrowband speeds.
This means that graphics, streaming
video, and multimedia websites are often simply
out of reach of many Internet users.
Within minutes of first using
Internet Guys ADSL, you will find a whole new
world of content available to you that was
previously just too much of a nuisance to
even consider downloading. Be it a video news
item or a streaming video of an hour long
annual general meeting, product launch, training
or other business meeting, Internet Guys ADSL
will open a whole new world to you.
2. Savings
If you think high speed broadband
Internet is too expensive, then think again!
You just have to have a look
at the savings you make to see how affordable
broadband Internet really is.
With Internet Guys ADSL, you
don't pay for the time you spend online. Plus,
there's no additional telephone line rental.
But there's more…
Because, Internet Guys ADSL is
permanently connected to your existing telephone
line, your home or business telephone line
won't be dominated by your Internet use.
That means that you can save
on having to have that second telephone line
for the Internet that so many households or
businesses have found necessary.
But there's more…
Internet Guys ADSL charges are
not based on the number of hours that you
spend on the Internet. Your on 24hrs a day.

(B) Fantastic Telecommuting
Where ADSL technology really
hits the home runs for corporations is in
how it makes the much-heralded benefits of
telecommuting so very achievable.
Telecommuting, or Flexible
Working as it is sometimes called, is becoming
more and more a mainstream business arrangement
every day. Research indicates that as at January
2001, over 1,000,000 workers in Canada had
flexible working agreements with their employers,
enabling them to work from home. In the USA,
some 20 million employees now work from home.
The business benefits of such
flexible working are many:-
- greater productivity at home. (Away
from the distractions of the office)
- reduced absenteeism. (Staff able to
attend to personal/urgent issues but
be on call/able to work.)
- staff retention. Telework is becoming
a make-or-break issue in employee
career decisions. If you have recruitment
or retention problems, consider EKOS
Research findings: 33% of Canadians
would choose telework over a salary
raise: 43% would quit for another
job that allows telework.
- retains female employees. (Companies
improve their retention rate of women
returning from maternity leave from
50% to 90%.)
- attracts the best employees. (Many
companies are using it as a recruitment
tool)
- highly suitable for sales work. (proposal
preparation and customer telephone
calls can be done from home; easier
and quicker access to customers on
home side of town.)
- More time spent on client premises.
(Consultants are encouraged to spend
more time on client premises to build
customer intimacy.)
- Less travel time. (avoiding peak hours,
less wasted time spent in car, better
morale, makes job attractive.)
Technology is only part of
the picture so we have provided you with a
link to Innovisions
Canada where you can get more information
on:
- What are the implications?
- Which jobs are best suited to flexible
working?
- What are the costs associated with
setting up a home office?
- What are the issues facing managers
with staff working from home?
However, the advent of ADSL
enormously increases the viability of telecommuting
because of how high speed access into your
corporate network can be so easily and economically
provided. One ordinary old telephone line
at home will carry both a telephone conversation
and very fast network access to your corporate
office.
Because ADSL is "always on"
as long as the user's PC is switched on, email
becomes a live activity just as it is in the
corporate office with all the same features
that you would expect in the office.
It is as if the end user
is in the office - but your company is not
paying for the floorspace and has a happier,
more productive employee as well!
