SDSL

What is SDSL?

SDSL (Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line) provides high speed internet access for end users over a copper wire network...

Like ADSL, SDSL is capable of far superior broadband speeds than its predecessor, dial-up internet, offering average speeds of between 1 and 1.5 Mbps on both upstream and downstream data.

Contrary to ADSL, where the majority of bandwidth is reserved for downstream data, SDSL uses equal bandwidth for both upstream and downstream. Because of its heightened upstream capabilities, those who wish to use SDSL alongside a telephone will require two telephone lines.

The benefits of SDSL...

• Ultra Fast - SDSL provides high speed internet access, both upstream and downstream to make for a far superior connection than dial-up.

• Fast Uploads - Upstream speeds of up to 7Mbps, compared to ADSL's 1Mbps

• Host your online services - High upstream capability means you can host your own website, etc... Saving you money

• Always On - SDSL has its own dedicated line so, you'll always be online.

• Efficient Emails - Receive up to the minute emails. SDSL allows your email client to check for new mail every few minutes, saving you time.

Who would benefit from SDSL?

SDSL is most suitable for businesses who rely on online services to function properly. Businesses with Web presence, such as hosting companies would especially benefit from SDSL capabilities sue to the large amount of updtream data that they require to upload to the internet.

For such businesses, ADSL would prove inadequate due to their significantly slower upstream capabilities.
