Please note: As of January 1, 2017, XMission no longer sells DSL services.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Small and growing businesses have a new connectivity option available only from XMission: Bonded DSL. We will accept up to twenty customers for a new pilot program to test this affordable, flexible service. Bonded DSL works best for businesses that don’t want to pay for a dedicated connection, but still require a connection faster than DSL.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is how it works: businesses purchase two inexpensive DSL lines and combine their speeds into a single connection using a low-cost appliance developed by PipeDream Networks. This rack-mountable, noiseless appliance allows administrators to easily provision or remove lines from the appliance via a web-interface.<\/p>\n

Each pair of bonded connections includes 500 GB of monthly transfer. Eventually, XMission will offer the option to bond up to four DSL lines. Consider this cost comparison:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
