ADSL

What is ADSL?

ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) delivers high speed internet access, using existing copper telephone lines to transfer data back and forth at  much faster speeds than its predecessor, dial up internet...

Where the fastest dial-up modems can acheive maybe up to 57 Kbps, usually operating at around 53 Kbps, depending on the serivce acquired ADSL generally achieves between 1.5 and 8 Mbps, proving a significantly faster and superior alternative.

The "asymmetric" part of ADSL refers to the fact that the downstream data rate is faster than the upstream rate, meaning that you will be able to download data to your computer from the internet faster than you will be able to upload date from your computer to the internet. This is allowed because, generally, web page requests require little bandwidth to handle in comparision to internet downloads.

The benefits of ADSL...

• Ultra Fast - ADSL provides high speed internet access, with speeds of up to 18 times faster than a standard dial-up connection

• Simultanious Telephone and Internet - ADSL does not affect your telephone services, so you can make calls, receive calls or send faxes while online.

• Always On - Don't waste time waiting to dial-up to the internet. With ADSL, you're always online.
