Any monitored intrusion into your home will be quickly reported by one of the 5 United States ADT Security Services Customer Monitoring Centers that continuously protect your family and home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

It's important to understand that most security companies only have one monitoring center, and in some cases, that one center is not based in the United States or even managed by an actual security company.

With ADT, you get security from five interconnected command centers that are strategically located throughout the United States. Each command center is backed by powerful equipment and trained professionals, so if one connection is interrupted, one of the other centers can handle the monitoring for your home.

This means ADT is prepared for various emergencies. Other companies may not be equipped to provide this level of protection. A company offering only one monitoring center may not be able to protect your home and family in the event their one center goes down.

Don't risk your home and family's safety, choose ADT (America's #1 security company) for monitored security protection. With ADT, your home is monitored 24 hours a day. In the event of an emergency, your ADT system can transmit a signal to one of ADT's five monitoring centers. The receiving monitoring center then will attempt to contact the homeowner via phone after the signal is received. If the person who answers the phone cannot supply the personal identification code, or if no one answers the phone, the representative then can notify local authorities. Local authorities may be dispatched to the home to determine the cause of the disturbance and to respond to emergency situations.

MPLS
MPLS VPNs use Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) to set up Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) that can isolate data traffic to provide Class of Service (CoS), Quality of Service (QoS), and ease network administration with minimal network overhead. Layer 3 MPLS VPNs (L3VPNs) use BGP, traffic isolation and Virtual Routing / Forwarding (VRF) for network routing and security. MPLS VPNs are more efficient and robust than IPSec VPN, ATM, MPLS L3VPNs.

Layer 2 MPLS VPNs (L2VPNs) are similar to Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode, or point-to-point Wide Area Networks (WANs). MPLS VPNs transport layer 2 packets across the network and encapsulate transport protocols such as ATM, Ethernet, and SONET, allowing MPLS networks to seemlessly upgrade and replace legacy layer 2 networks without requiring network reconfiguration or using protocols higher than layer 2. In comparison, layer 3 VPNs must use the layer 3 Internet Protocol (IP).




High Speed Internet Access via Ethernet
High Speed Internet Access via Ethernet local access connects end user Ethernet local area networks (LANs) to the Internet over a metropolitan wide area networks (WANs) at speeds ranging from 1 megabit per second (Mbps) up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps). Internet access via Ethernet is an "always on", flat-rate service that offers faster, more cost effective Internet access than is available through traditional telecommunication access technologies such as T1 / T3 or E1 / E3 connections.

Internet access via Ethernet is becoming more and more popular to meet the growing demand for dynamic high bandwidth increases. For example, an increase from 10 to 100 Mbps can be accomplished by a High Speed Internet over Ethernet provider by simple changing the settings on already installed Ethernet switches. This scalability is cost effective for customers in that bandwidth can be increased or decreased quickly and easily, on demand, without the necessity of adding or changing datacom equipment as would be required with T1 / T3 or E1 / E3 local access lines.




Digital Subscriber Line Service (DSL):
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connects end users (subscribers) to the Internet via a plain old telephone service (POTS) line that uses an existing copper pair but has been sped up by a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) located at the service provider centeral office (CO) to form a continuous digital high-speed data connection from the customer premise to the Internet.

Asymetric DSL (ADSL) allows more bandwidth to move data toward the end user (multimedia and text) than from the end user (mostly keystrokes and mouse behavior) to the Internet. The downstream receiving rate from the Internet usually varies from 1.5 to 9Mbps while the upstream sending rate usually varies from 16 to 640 Kbps. The main limitation on bandwidth speeds available is the distance from the customer premise to the local telephone company central office.




Wireless Internet Service:
High-speed satellite and microwave Internet connections for business can replace or back up traditional terrestrial landlines such as Internet T1s and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service. With wireless IInternet service in place as your primary or backup Internet connection, you can always count on low-latency connection to the Internet that means you will have an "always up", "never down", "zero outage" service that eliminates wasted time and increases productivity.

 Verizon DSL Offerings

Written by: Patrick Oborn - Jan 7, 2009


Most of us have been taught that by cutting out the middle man we can save money, but is that all you save? When it comes to internet access and phone service working with the Incumbents or Baby Bells is a mixed bag. Certainly there are competitive companies that can give you the same or better phone service than the Baby Bells which suffer from years of a monopolistic market but is it the same for internet service?

DSL service is actually quite different than phone service. Besides the obvious difference of one being data and one being voice, competitive carriers generally use their own equipment which is kept at the phone company's facilities. In this case, asking your phone company to make changes to your service is dependant on your phone company and depending on how smoothly they run their operations you could have a very pleasant experience. Internet service, however is different. Many baby bells resell their service which is then sold under a different name. You may be buying internet access and not realize that you're really buying Verizon DSL under another name.

In cases where companies purchase Verizon DSL and resell it under their own name, many of the advantages of changing carriers disappear. If the carrier does not own their equipment they will need to contact the provider to make any changes and as they are not the provider you have added another layer of complexity to any request you may have. Is it really worth the $5 or $10 you're saving by going with a competitor? Often times it's not. Think about cutting out the middle man when looking for internet service. If you know the company is simply reselling Verizon DSL, why not just go with the source?
