What is ADSL/Broadband?
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a technology for transmitting digital information at a high speed on existing phone lines to homes and businesses - often referred to as Broadband internet. Unlike a regular dialup phone service, ADSL provides "always on" connectivity. ADSL simultaneously accommodates analogue (voice) information on the same line - so you can chat on the phone without disconnecting your computer from the internet.ADSL technology is an asymmetric technology, meaning that the speed of the connection to a customers premises is not the same speed as outbound traffic originating from the customers computer. For example, ADSL is available at 512Kbps inbound bandwidth and only 128Kbps outbound bandwidth.
