| What is VOIP? |
| VoIP (Voice over IP) is a way of making and receiving phone calls through your high-speed Internet connection from any touch-tone phone. VoIP's main advantage is that it allows you to call anywhere at anytime for less money, with the same quality and more features than you see with traditional phone service. |

| What is broadband? |
| Broadband is high-speed Internet access through a cable or DSL modem. It gives you a faster connection than dial up. You need a broadband connection to use the KoolTelAmerica service. A typical KoolTelAmerica telephone call works like this. You dial through any touch-tone phone. When you speak into your telephone, KoolTelAmerica converts your voice into digital data packets. We do this with a phone adapter unit that we ship you for free. Your data packets are forwarded across the Internet to a computer closer to the party you called. Behind the scenes the KoolTelAmerica network re-assembles those packets and sends it the last mile to their phone. That's why KoolTelAmerica customers can call any telephone anywhere, not just other VoIP users. And because we use Broadband technology, there is no Bandwidth congestion for your VoIP service. |
