ADSL is an acronym for Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line. ADSL is a technology that allows information to be transmitted on a telephone line at very high speeds. ADSL can serve as a replacement for dial-up Internet access services.

Cable Internet is a technology that allows information to be transmitted via coaxial cable at very high speeds.

With speeds of up to 100 megabits per second, you can experience the Internet as you've always imagined it. You'll be able to blaze through high-bandwidth, graphics-intensive sites, watch live video, download or stream movies on your computer, tablet or phone.

But there's a lot more to the service than speed:

• The dedicated, "always on" connection means no more waiting and no more busy signals. You'll never need to dial in again.
• Our authorized Nucleus representatives will professionally install the service.
• Your Nucleus account gives you email addresses and homepage space for the whole family or business.

Nucleus is delivering a number of advanced new services to enhance your Internet experience. These next-generation technologies (such as ADSL) offer greatly-improved speeds over traditional analog Internet connections so you can quickly access high-bandwidth applications and content.

From a practical standpoint, DSL is delivered over the telephony infrastructure and Cable is delivered over the coaxial infrastructure. DSL is delivered on a dedicated connection to your home or business and speeds will not be affected by the usage of your "neighbours". Cable speeds, conversely, can be affected by the usage of others on your same node as this service is truncated.

The current DSL modems that Nucleus is issuing are the Ovislink model OV303r2 and Ovislink modem OV604. If you purchase this modem from anyone other than Nucleus, it must to be programmed by one of our technicians. This will allow us to communicate with the modem and better troubleshoot any issues that may arise. Other DSL modems that are currently supported include:

• D-Link 300i
• Linksys ADSLME3
• Comtrend CT-5621 ADSL2
• Comtrend CT-5071 ADSL2
• Comtrend CT-5071T ADSL2
• Speed Touch 516

The current Cable modems that Nucleus is issuing are the Cisco DPQ2160 (DOCSIS 2) and the Thomson DCM475 (DOCSIS 3). Other Cable modems that are currently supported include:

• Motorola SB5101 (DOCSIS 2)
• Motorola SB5102 (DOCSIS 2)
• Motorola SB6120 (DOCSIS 3)

No. Because this is a dedicated service from your home or business to Nucleus, you will never receive a busy signal.

Currently, our new contracted plans now include the usage of the modem required. The equipment is provided to you, free of charge, to use during the duration of service. Should you wish to purchase the equipment outright, you can do so. We also offer a modem rental option that includes onsite service should the modem need repair or replacement.

If you desire Wi-Fi connectivity, or to share the connection between multiple devices, you would need to purchase a router. Routers can be obtained from any computer retailer or from Nucleus directly.

DSL technology is dependent on cable length from your home or business to the Telus Central Office. The longer the cable, the slower speed you will receive. Please contact us to qualify your line or address to provide a better estimate of what speeds you can expect on DSL.

Cable technology depends on the package you chose and isn't limited by distance. Cable internet speeds can be affected by the usage on your node by other customers.

No special software is required for your high speed access. All operating systems on the market today have networking software built in. Our tech support team is available to help you configure your device.

Possibly. As long as the modem is approved by Nucleus, you may be able to use your DSL or Cable modem. Please contact Nucleus for more information.

For DSL the only thing required is at least one telephone line. The High Speed Internet connection rides on the same phone line you use now. Alternatively, DSL service can be ordered on a dry copper line if there is no active copper-pair based landline.

Cable internet requires no phone line.

No. As these are digital services provided by the phone company, we can not utilize these lines.

No. Nucleus High Speed Internet rides above your current telephone line and is invisible to anyone calling from your line or into your line. You will never receive a busy signal when using the Internet.
