Brand X Internet is currently offering ADSL services for both MACINTOSH and WINDOWS in Verizon areas. ADSL service in Pacific Bell areas will be available soon.
Unlike Verizon, Brand X loves Macs and we completely support them. In fact, you are welcome to run any operating system you'd like on our network. Please note that we can only offer extensive support for Mac, Windows and Unix/Linux; however we will try to help you no matter what you're running.
Brand X is pleased to announce that we have concluded an arrangement with Verizon which will enable us to be the one point of contact for your DSL order. You need only call us and we will place the order with Verizon on your behalf. We're of course willing to be your Internet provider even if you've already placed an order with Verizon or are online with someone else; however, we have a much greater ability to track your order if it goes through us.
If you sign up for a year, Brand X Internet will provide you with the DSL modem for free (a $49.95 value). The only requirement is that you sign a one-year commitment. You do not have to pay in advance (unless you want to take advantage of our pre-pay discount), all you need to do is promise that you will stay with us for one year. Please click here to see our one year contract.
ADSL connections are all dedicated, meaning that they are "up" all of the time. You do not need to dial in, nor will you be disconnected. The following rates include Verizon line charges based on Verizon's 1 year term commitment. Verizon offers slight discounts if you're willing to choose a 3 year term commitment.
Please note: Your computer must have a 10BaseT Ethernet card to use DSL.
If you wish to attach one computer to one DSL line, for email, web
browsing, downloading music and software, or for game play at high speed,
then residential DSL is the service for you. Additional computers
are allowed at additional charge. Static addresses are not provided
and you must pay for additional computers even if you have a firewall or
router to isolate them from the DSL line.
If you wish anything not provided with the basic line, you need our
premium/business account. Verizon requires that if you have a
business phone line that the DSL also be a business account. Additionally, if
you require a static address, multiple static addresses,
or if you desire to run servers of any type, you need a
"Premium" account. Roughly half our premium
accounts are for private residences with power computing and
communication needs.

Actual speeds will vary. Throughput (download) speed
will be lower than connection speed and will vary based on a number of
factors, including distance from your locations to the central office,
the condition of your phone line and wiring inside your location, network
and internet congestion, and the servers or web sites to which you
connect, among other factors.
Annual Discount: Prepayment of one year in advance gets
two months of service free (12 months for the price of 10) on all Brand X
Services (but not on Verizon charges). For example, one years of
Enhanced Bronze Internet Service is $210.
Disclaimer: The speeds listed in the table are maximum speeds on Verizon lines. Verizon does not
guarantee the speed on these lines, and typical performance may be roughly half the maximum speed.
In addition to high-speed Internet access, all of our Business DSL
services come with the following:

Actual speeds will vary. Throughput (download) speed
will be lower than connection speed and will vary based on a number of
factors, including distance from your locations to the central office,
the condition of your phone line and wiring inside your location, network
and internet congestion, and the servers or web sites to which you
connect, among other factors. Here's what you can expect: Based on customer
feedback and a limited amount of our own testing, it appears that Verizon DSL
customers are getting about 60%-80% of the upper limit. These limitations
are from Verizon not Brand X. You will get the same limitation on speed no
matter whom you select as your ISP.
