On-line all the time

Unlimited Internet access is fast becoming part of our daily life and we cannot do without it since key services are starting to be provided on-line too. Maltese Internet users from now onwards will enjoy such access through the cable network provided by Melita Cable.
Thanks to ON-VOL, after five long years of Internet access in Malta at the mercy of the telephone line, we have come somewhere near this dream of unlimited Internet access for our communication, information, education, entertainment and commercial needs.
During 2001, all the Maltese islands will be serviced. Starting price for a pilot trial is Lm19.95 a month for a 64K connection. The same co-axial cable used to deliver television stations in homes and other buildings is capable of delivering data that ultimately is the basic component of the Internet pages and other information.
All you need is a normal Personal Computer, a network card that fits into the computer, and a cable modem attached to the cable service. Subscribers to Melita’s cable TV service will experience only a small installation to their existing home network to have this Internet service. With a cable modem you are instantly on-line the moment you switch on the computer.
A sluggish connection over the phone at the mercy of the quality of the line, frequent disconnection, busy signals and hefty bills are a thing of the past. From now on your telephone is dedicated exclusively to telephone calls. This unlimited and instant access at the speed mentioned above will provide a host of services which could only dream of until now.
The magic of shopping on the Internet, electronic commerce, distance education, video-conferencing with relatives on the other side of the globe, working from home and keeping in constant touch with your office, will all be unlocked now that we have the necessary reliable high-speed access on cable. Security problems are a thing of the past.
Recent developments in technology mean that being connected to the Internet 24-hours a day is a safe way to benefit from the ever-increasing amount of services offered on-line in Malta and abroad. http://www.onvol.net.
