Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about ELPASOTEL® Internet Services
What Internet speeds are available?
ELPASOTEL® is excited to introduce the new, faster Net Pro™ 7Mbps and Net Pro™ 12 Mbps services. We also added our highest speed for Wireless Broadband -- 5Mbps/2Mbps
Does the way I use the Internet matter when determining the right speed for me?
Yes. This is especially true if you are running real-time applications or sending and receiving large files.
- Streaming video or watching TV online - go for higher downstream speed
- Most streaming video requires a minimum bandwidth of 300Kbps
- Online gaming – look at higher upstream speed
- Pictures and other large files – higher download and upload speeds will get it there more quickly
Will there be a charge if I upgrade my current Internet Service to a higher speed?
There is no one-time charge to upgrade to a higher speed. Current monthly rate will apply (refer to Rate Card at www.elpasotel.com/ratecard).
What if I don’t want to switch to a different product?
You are not required to switch to a different product.
Customers with 1Mbps service will automatically be upgraded to 1.5Mbps and get a lower rate.
What is the benefit of upgrading my service?
- You get more speed.
- access Internet, make your search, book your flight, make your purchase, and get done quickly – so you can do other things
- More bandwidth for large uploads, downloads and faster, smoother streaming video
