Megatron DSL Information

Megatron DSL is now available in Colrain. About 55% of Colrain residents will be able to get DSL. The reason everyone will not be able to get it is because DSL has distance limitations. DSL can reach about 18000ft (3.4 miles) from the Telephone switching station in the center of town. Those who are located beyond 18000ft will not be able to get it. The rest most likely can.

The reason we say most likely is because this 18000ft is in wire footage not actual distance. If for instance you live on a street that verizon wired in a circle from another street that causes the wires from the CO to exceed 18000ft, you will not be able to get it regardless of your physical distance from the CO. Those cases are however quite rare.

 

Megatrons DSL is far superior to dial-up. Dial-Up can be problematic for a variety of reasons such as....
  • Poor phone line quality.
  • Over loaded circuits.
  • Misspelled login id's or passwords.
  • Large email attachments.
  • Wet phone lines caused by heavy rain.
  • Windows operating system malfunctions.
  • Inexpensive/poor quality modem.
  • Forgotten ID and/or password.

With Megatron DSL, all of those common problems are virtually eliminated. Megatron DSL is also many times faster than Dial-Up.

  • 728K DSL - 15 times faster than Dial-Up.
  • 1.5Mbps DSL - 32 times faster than Dial-Up.
  • 3.0Mbps DSL - 63 times faster than Dial-Up.
  • 7.1Mbps DSL - 148 times faster than Dial-Up.

Verizon has been undercutting Megatron as well as many other DSL providers by selling wholesale DSL to ISP's at rates higher than what they are retailing it for. As such, we cannot compete with verizon in price. However, verizon's special prices usually always require a yearly contract. Megatron does not require any contract. Our rates are Month to Month and you can cancel service at anytime.

We also provide a Lifetime warranty on the DSL modem and will do free installation for local residents.

We also will provide the following one time free service for new DSL subscribers.

  • Scan your computer for viruses and spyware.
  • Install any missing Windows security updates.
  • Remove any obsolete anyvirus software.
  • Install a free up to date antivirus and antispyware package.
  • Notify you of any other problems we find with your computer.

 

Very soon in order to help us compete with verizon, we will be offering a variety of free services that will be included with every DSL order upon request.

  • Up to 5 free Web based only email addresses powered by Goggles Gmail system.
  • Free personal web page powered by Google Sites.
  • Free Online photo gallery for sharing photos with friends and family. Requires above personal web page.
  • Free Online Document sharing. Powered by Google Docs.
  • Free online Event Calendar. Powered by Google Calendar.
  • Free Instant Messaging. Powered by Google Chat.

All of the above Google powered free options are hosted by Google, not us, but we do all the work of setting them up for you, and are tied to a mtdataonline.com email address. And each of the services will be available for each of the 5 email addresses offered.

  • Free Antivirus Software. We will also install it, configure it, and remove any older products.
  • Free AntiSpyware software. We will also install it, configure it, and remove any older products.

None of those above free services are ready for use yet. We are waiting for feedback from our customers. If you feel these added free services will make our higher DSL price worth it to you, then let me know. Send me a feedback email at deano92964@gmail.com.
