Dial-up connection to the Internet uses the existing communication channels of the city telephone network as data transmission medium. In this case data rates do not exceed 56 Kbps. Such a rate restriction is caused by technical characteristics of equipment used.

For dial-up access a customer requires a modem and appropriate software. Via a usual telephone line your modem is connected to the Provider’s modem pool.

For the purpose of service provision PeterStar supports in St. Petersburg a modem pool providing the ITU V.90, V.34+, V.32, V22 standard of modulation and others. The PeterStar modem pool counts over 1200 lines.
