With DIRECTV DSL, you can do everything you want online with greater speed and convenience.

Think you're saving money with a dial-up Internet service provider? To get an equally consistent connection, you'd need an additional phone line, which costs up to $30 a month in addition to your Internet service charges.

While cable claims to be fast, you essentially share your Internet connection with other cable users in your neighborhood, so your Internet connection slows down when a lot of people are online. DIRECTV DSL High-Speed Internet Service spares you that frustration by giving you your own connection, which is always the same and not shared by others.

This powerful, lightning-fast, "always on" connection, is far superior to cable, dial-up or basic DSL, in terms of value, service, quality and convenience. For $29.99 a month for the first three months and $49.99 a month thereafter, you get:

• A dedicated connection that won't slow down during peak hours, as can happen with cable modems.

• A static IP address so you can host your own web site right on your computer and telecommute with your office.

• Award-winning gateway technology with broadband router capabilities that enable advanced services that other providers can't deliver, such as our unique
  Connect and Protect™ upgrade and automatic remote updates.

• No expensive equipment to purchase or lease. The DIRECTV DSL gateway is yours to use at no additional monthly cost.

• One hour of dial-up access each month to use when you're away from home. (Just 10 cents per minute after the first 60 minutes.)

• Five email accounts, soeveryone in your household can have an individual email address.

• Five unique web site addresses, letting each person have a presence on the Web.

• 20 megs of server space, giving you plenty of storage for your email and web content!

• 24-hour customer service is here for you when you need it.

• DIRECTV DSL™ technology utilizes your existing phone line without tying it up, so you can talk on the phone while you surf.

• It's up to 50 times faster than standard dial-up modems, and our patent technology allows us to update and maintain your connection for optimum performance.

• With DIRECTV DSL there are no logon delays and you don't get "timed out".

• Its self-installing software makes it extremely easy it is to set up! Just connect a few cables, pop in the CD-ROM and soon you'll be online, surfing in DSL time!

• You can check your email on the fly, read the latest news and entertainment, download music in seconds, watch full-screen videos, listen to Internet radio stations, shop, play online games, and chat with friends with more ease and convenience.

• Unlike other services, DIRECTV DSL supports almost all operating platforms, including Windows®, Mac®, and Linux®/UNIX.

Based on comparison to services offered by Verizon, SBC, Comcast, AT&T, MSN and AOL from Internet sources on 05/09/2002.

Static IP Address — Host your own games or website and establish a connection with your office so you can telecommute. DIRECTV DSL includes a static IP address with every gateway. Other providers usually charge extra for it.

Integrated Router Functionality — Makes the self-installation process a breeze! Also allows us to remotely upgrade the gateway with enhanced broadband services.

Supports Ethernet or USB Connections — Unlike standard DSL and cable modems, you have the freedom to use the Ethernet or USB (Windows XP/Me/2000/98) connections on your computer. Most broadband providers do not support USB connections.

In a nutshell...

• Cable Internet connections can be full of bottlenecks.

• Wireless connections are a hassle to set up

• Other ISPs just don't provide the speed and convenience that DIRECTV DSL High-Speed Internet Service delivers.
