Virtual Private Network FAQ

What sort of file transmission speeds can I expect with a Northwestel Virtual Private Network?

The speed of file transmission using a Virtual Private Network will vary according to 1) the speed of the Internet connection used, and 2) the type of end-user hardware (e.g., PCs). Speeds for service the customer subscribes to (e.g., DSL 2.0 vs. DSL 1.5) and the speeds available in the particular community.

How can a Virtual Private Network reduce capital and operational costs?

By giving end-users access to your corporate network via a Virtual Private Network, businesses can eliminate the need for modem pools and remote access servers. This means businesses can avoid the capital outlay required to purchase modem pools and servers, and further save by avoiding the ongoing operational costs associated with managing those devices.

How can the Virtual Private Network - Teleworker solution reduce long distance costs?
