Important Notes: •

In order to provide you with the best possible connectivity, your DSL circuit must "train" for at least 10 days when first activated. During this period you must leave the DSL modem plugged in, turned on and connected at all times. You do not need to leave your computer turned on during this period- just the DSL modem. For best results, please plug in your DSL modem and turn it on the day before your scheduled installation date, and leave it turned on for at least 10 days.
