What is ADSL?
ADSL, which stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line,
is high-speed Internet Access using regular telephone lines.
How fast is it?
ADSL technology has the ability to move data over the phone
lines at speeds up to 6Mb/s or six million bits per second,
or 100 times quicker than the fastest analogue modems available
today (56,000 bits per second).
What other benefits are there?
In addition to its very high speed, ADSL has many benefits
over analogue connections. Unlike dial-up connections that
require you to "dial-in" to the Internet Service
Provider every time you want to retrieve e-mail or access
to the Internet, ADSL connections are always on. That means
no more logging on and off, no more busy signals and no
more waiting for the connection to happen - it's always
there!
Talk & surf on the same line at the same time!
Another major benefit is the ability to use the telephone
at the same time you're accessing the Internet; no more
missed called or interrupted browsing.
