Please read and follow the instructions that came with your DSL self- installation kit. The hardware setup on nearly every DSL installation is unique, so it isn’t practical or even possible for I-Land support technicians to assist in your DSL hardware installation over the phone. If you aren’t completely comfortable installing new hardware, we suggest that you contact a computer repair center to have this done.

We suggest that you keep your existing modem to use if the DSL connection becomes unstable. Your i-DSL account comes with 10 hours of dial-up access per month for this purpose. 

Note: For best i-DSL performance, you should update your version of Internet Explorer and operating system components to the most current revision. To do this, choose "Windows Update" from the Start menu in the lower left corner of your Windows screen, or point your browser to: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com.
