Digital Subscriber Line

What Does ADSL Stand For?    

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. ADSL is a modem technology that transforms ordinary phone lines (also known as "twisted copper pairs") into high-speed digital lines for ultra-fast Internet access. ADSL also enables access to corporate networks for telecommuters, as well as exciting new interactive multimedia applications such as multiplayer gaming, video on demand and video catalogs.

How Does ADSL Work?    

ADSL modems use digital coding techniques to squeeze up to 99% more capacity out of a phone line without interfering with your regular phone services. That means you could be simultaneously talking on the phone or sending fax - while surfing the World Wide Web.

How Fast Is ADSL?    

ADSL provides speeds up to 8 Mbps downstream (to the user) and up to 1 Mbps upstream, depending upon line length and loop and line conditions.

What Are The Main Benefits of ADSL?    

Simultaneous internet and voice/fax capabilities over a single telephone line.
Uninterrupted, high-speed Internet access that's always on-line.
Cost-effective solution for residential customers, telecommuters and small businesses.
Data Security that exceeds other technologies.
