What does DSL stand
for?
- Digital Subscriber Line. DSL
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. DSL 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 DSL
work?
- DSL 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 a fax - while surfing the World
Wide Web.
How fast is DSL?
- DSL provides speeds up to 8
Mbps downstream (to the user) and up to 1 Mbps
upstream, depending upon line conditions and
length.
What are the
main benefits of DSL?
- 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.
