Basic & Advanced/Business Package Differences Speed package and pricing have been divided into separate categories – Basic and Advanced/Business - for two main reasons: Speed: Internet usage for basic (usually residential) needs can often be sufficiently met using the lowest DSL speeds. Keep in mind that the lowest DSL speeds is up to 20 times as fast as the fastest dial-up speeds. In more active environments, and for common business uses, faster speeds will be necessary. There’s also the download/upload speed factor: The download speed is the first number in the paired numbers that describe each speed package. For example “786/128” means the download speed is 786k and the upload speed is 128k. Internet usage is actually a two-way communication “highway.” Your computer asks for data, but it also provides data. Usually most “traffic” is "downloaded" to your computer and you "upload" less frequently. In business environments (or anywhere more activity is expected), generally, a faster speed is necessary, as there is more activity more often. So too, for uploading - there will be more uploading and thus the need for faster upload speed capability than "basic" needs. Package: A KosherNet DSL package includes the ability to set up individual sub-account settings, and getting email addresses. In the basic packages one gets up to 5 individual user settings and 5 individual email accounts. Advanced/Business packages include up to 8 user settings and 8 email accounts. Additional email addresses or sub-accounts for any package, are available, but would incur additional fees. So, choosing a Basic package for a business or high-demand environment might appear to save money, but will not appropriately serve your needs. Alternatively, if you anticipate the desire or need for faster speeds, or you plan to spend considerable time online while at home, we suggest you choose an Advanced/Business package. The Special Use category contains packages that are designed for special business applications that require the download and upload speed be identical.
