What is Wireless Broadband? |
 |
|
|
Wireless Internet is a broadband service that DCSI offers, it allows access to the internet via a antenna instead of through the phone line, thus you don't even need to have a phone connected!, it works on a similar prinicple to a tv antenna, it picks up the signal right out of the air.
And of course being a broadband service it provides all the benefits, faster access, no tying up of the phone line, and no "dialing" charges.

DCSI now have no excess charges for our Wireless Internet plans!, so now instead of being charged extra for usage above the monthly allowance, it gets slowed down to 64k, which is still about twice as fast as normal dial-up.
Plans with a peak and offpeak allowance has the peak times of 8am to 11pm, and off peak from 11pm to 8am. This allows you to download more for the same plan cost as before.
