Information

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.
