2 Ensure ADSL Service is Activated
Before you can use any ADSL modem or router, you must confirm that the following
conditions have been met.
•
You are located within about 5km of an ADSL enabled phone exchange
and
you can
get an ADSL service. This can be checked on-line by visiting “
http://adsl.dse.co.nz
”
and clicking on the link “
your area
” – or by calling
Telecom
on
0800 253 878
.
•
Telecom
or your
Internet Service Provider (ISP)
has enabled the ADSL service to
your house or office. This can be facilitated by your
ISP
,
ADSL provider
or with
Telecom
.
•
Because ADSL and voice works on the same phone line at the same time, you need
to install ADSL filter/s on each of your normal telephone devices or contact your
ADSL provider
to arrange for someone to install a central splitter.
•
You need to have an account with an
ISP
to enable your new ADSL line to connect to
the Internet.
