The difference is what    comes with the connection

On June 1st, 2006 the world of highspeed ADSL changed forever in BC and Alberta as Lightspeed launched it's now famous Naked ADSL. So what makes Naked ADSL different than regular Lightspeed ADSL service? ... a telephone.

Both Highspeed ADSL products have the same great speeds, connectivity features and reliability, and, with Naked ADSL you are not required to have an active home telephone service with a provider such as Telus, Rogers or Primus.

In the past, in order to have our superior highspeed ADSL service in your home you had to have a working telephone line. The reasoning was that the Internet was traveling over a telephone line. In reality this has not been the case for a long time. It's actually telephone calls that travel over the digital network which is the backbone for ADSL service and the Internet.

So you now have a choice for your connection. With many people using non-traditional telephone connections as their main voice communications, like cell phones or digital VoIP service like our own Dolphin Tel or Vonage, Naked ADSL is rapidly becoming the choice for many homes today. Or you can still have a regular telephone line and get our regular highspeed ADSL. Either way your get the best value, quality and service available for your home.
