SDSL
 

NewNet SDSL offers a wealth of business benefits:

NewNet Broadband SDSL services offer a wide range of features and options, offering cost-effective packages to suit all requirements and budgets.

Backup dial access

All NewNet Broadband accounts are provided with a FREE of CHARGE backup dial-up account. This allows connection to the internet in the unlikely event of broadband failure via a modem and standard PSTN line. Calls are charged at 0845 rates (actual call cost will depend on your line provider).

Games server access

All NewNet broadband accounts provide fast access to online games servers.

Anti-SPAM filter

All NewNet broadband accounts offer anti-SPAM filtering. Email is filtered and either ‘tagged’ as SPAM or deleted – tagged items can then be filtered by your local mail software (Outlook, Mozilla, Thunderbird etc.) to a separate folder as required. Mail identified as spam and then deleted will not reach your system.

Multiple PC access

All NewNet broadband services allow multiple PC access – making use of either local network address translation (NAT) or dedicated static IP addresses.

Use your PC as a telephone

Broadband accounts may be used to support Internet telephony services – using BT Communicator or Skype etc. A software application loaded to your local PC will allow you to use a microphone and headset/PC speakers to enable voice communication with another remote user – who may be using a similar application (providing free calls) or connecting via the public telephone system (calls chargeable via your phone service provider). Using broadband calling allows you to talk and surf at the same time – even from a machine without access to a standard telephone connection!

Managed SDSL router

NewNet offer a pre-configured SDSL router to link your local network to the SDSL enabled circuit. The router provides 4 ethernet ports with integrated switching and SDSL modem. The router will be fully configured with your circuit details and tested before being shipped to you at the installation address. Routers are provided as leased managed units at an annual charge of £139.

Managed SDSL firewall

NewNet Business broadband accounts offer a managed SDSL firewall option. The SDSL firewall blocks all inbound traffic to your network whilst allowing all outbound traffic. If you wish to run public services from your network we will unblock the following ports to specific IP addresses:

  • 20-21 – (FTP)
  • 22 – (SSH)
  • 25 – (SMTP)
  • 80 – (Web)
  • 110 – (pop3)
  • 443 – (Secure Web)
  • 3389 – (Windows Remote Desktop)

If you choose this option, a NewNet technical advisor will contact you after your order has been received in order to determine your configuration requirements. The charge made will apply to initial configuration only – and subsequent configuration changes will be subject to additional charge.

Managed VPN

This option is for NewNet colocation or leased line customers that have a dedicated firewall, provided and managed by NewNet. In these cases, we will configure your managed firewall to act as a VPN concentrator, and configure ADSL routers accordingly to access this firewall.
