Faster access

The major benefit of a Local Dial service is speed. At popular times customers using standard Internet Service Providers will find the speed of their connection drops as the number of users per 100 increases from 1 to 20 - 30. This increases the contention on the network (which is like congestion on a motorway causing traffic to travel slowly) and the service slows down. At Local Dial because we can offer a contention ratio of 1:1, whether you use the Internet at a busy time or quiet time, you will always get the speed that your modem supports. E.g. a 56K modem will always connect at 56K.
