ADSL Internet Service

Bonner's Ferry, Coeur d'Alene, Garfield, Genessee, Palouse, Post Falls, Hayden, Moscow,
Potlatch, Pullman, Orofino, Sandpoint, Viola

We also have high speed Wireless Internet service in Garfield, Washington and many places in Moscow, Idaho and Pullman, Washington.  Contact us at 800-310-5554.

We provide DSL to Moscow, Pullman and the other cities above.  DSL (or ADSL) is a high-speed, always-on Internet service that makes using the Internet much more enjoyable.  It uses your current phone line (or at least, it uses the phone wire) but does not interfere with your ability to use a telephone at the same time you are using the Internet.

DSL has distance limitations (13,000 feet) and phone line provisioning requirements (no pair gain) so it is not available to everyone who has a phone line.  Please call us locally at 883-5500 in Moscow and Pullman or at 1-800-310-5554 elsewhere to see if your phone line qualifies. 

Standalone DSL (New 5/1/09)

As of May, 2009, we can provide ADSL whether or not the home has a Verizon telephone number.  Phone us for availability.  Usually DSL is available within 2.5 miles of the center of each of the towns above, but we can run your phone number or address through a database to see if it's possible and what speeds you can get.  800-310-5554 or 208-883-5500.

Monthly Charges

Note:  ADSL2 or ADSL2+ service is also  available in a few places.

Activation Fee

There is a $60 activation fee for hooking up or moving the ADSL service location.

Network Equipment

Computers require Ethernet Adapters to connect to ADSL.  You will need to purchase one for any computer that does not have one.  If you hook ADSL up to more than one computer, a switch or router and extra cables are required.

ADSL Modem

If you already have an ATM (anything except Fujitsu) ADSL or ADSL2 modem, we’ll be happy to work with it.  Please have available the setup instructions that were provided with your modem..

Use Policies

To read our use policies click on Use Policies in the menu at the left.  Please realize that DSL service is a consumer service meant to replace dial-up service.  It is not meant to be a replacement for high-capacity dedicated lines such as Frame Relay or T-1's.  If you need high capacity and want to use DSL to save on transport costs, please contact us and we can work out a price based on volume requirements.  Currently, we charge $50 per megabit throughput reserved during prime time (5pm - midnight).
