How to Get DSL to Work with NetZero
NetZero is formerly a dial-up-only company that now offers DSL, a broadband service, through its existing dial-up service. This upgrade to DSL gives NetZero customers Norton Antivirus online to protect their computers from viruses and other threats, a built-in spam blocker program and a pop-up blocking program. These allow customers to safely use NetZero's DSL Internet service. It has a 30-day money-back guarantee for a full refund if the customer is unhappy with the service.

Tips & Warnings
DSL speeds depend on factors such as distance from the DSL switching station or your house's wiring. If these factors are poor, your DSL speed won't be optimal. If you are moving and have a new phone number established, go to http://register.netzero.net or call 1-866-810-8092 to see if DSL is available in the area you are moving to so you can transfer your DSL.
The 30-day money-back guarantee requires that all the DSL equipment is returned in working condition. If a phone you are using is unfiltered, it will affect the DSL connection. The DSL filters split the signals so they do not interfere with each other.
