broadband ADSL
Global Internet now provides Broadband ADSL!
ADSL is a superior high-speed broadband Internet service suitable for fast and large downloads. While it uses your phone line, you can be on the phone and Internet at the same time and enjoy a permanent ‘always on’ connection.
We use Telikom’s phone network, and you must have at least one Telikom Fixed Line Service (telephone) to secure your Global Internet ADSL connection.
ADSL is a modern way to connect to the Internet and traditionally the most common way of getting ‘Broadband’ – a term used to indicate fast Internet. Generally speaking, it is at least four times faster than dialup, and as much as 35 times. No dialling up is required and so your Internet will always be on, making ADSL a very convenient Internet Access solution.
ADSL speeds will vary depending on how far away you are from the ‘Telikom Exchange’, and your phone line must be in good working order. If you can’t use the phone for calls, you certainly can’t use it for ADSL. You are still dependant on Telikom in that respect. To connect to ADSL Internet, it requires a Telikom technician to physically connect your line to special equipment (a DSLAM). Global has no access to that, and also, the equipment must be there to do it. This means not all exchanges are able to connect you to ADSL. It is important to have a good ISP like Global Internet, who can work with Telikom to make sure they do the connection and maintain their equipment.

Wireless Internet works just like ADSL, but it is carried through antennas. It is almost as fast as ADSL, but some antenna networks (or the equipment connected to it) are not as clever as others. The wireless signal is carried through radio waves and works best when you can actually see the radio tower where the signal comes from. Global uses the latest Motorola wireless infrastructure to ensure we have the best technology available.
Because the Internet actually enters PNG in Port Moresby (through the Pacific Mobile 'Tiare Gateway'), antennas that give you Wireless Internet outside of Port Moresby still travel through a Telikom owned network to get there. If you have Wireless Internet in the Port Moresby area you are independent from any Telikom copper wiring.
Wireless speeds are similar to ADSL, and Global’s network is specifically voice optimised so you can use Voice over IP and Skype with excellent results.
DIAL-UP
Dial-up is the perfect Internet service for people with limited download needs. Reliable and affordable, dial-up will enable you to surf the web, stay in touch with friends, family and colleagues from both home and from a small business.
Dialup refers to connecting to the Internet via a modem and a public telephone network. Because it uses normal telephone lines, data rates are limited and slower than our other services including ADSL, Wireless and Satellite, but a good option for its low cost if you don’t have high download needs.
