What is ADSL ?
ADSL, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line is a broadband communication
technology designed for use on regular phone lines. It has the ability to
move data over the phone lines at speeds up to 140 times faster than
the analog modem available today.
Why is it called Asymmetric ?
It is called asymmetric because more bandwidth is reserved for receiving
data than for sending data. This is useful because many users of the
Internet receive much more data than they send.
What are the benefits of ADSL over analog modems ?
Besides the high-speed advantage, ADSL connection is always on. There
is no longer a need to log on and off, no more busy signals and no more
waiting for the connection to established - it is always there. On top of
these, you can use the phone even when the data connection is on. You
do not need to switch between surfing the Net and talking over the
phone.
