ADSL

ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) provides high speed internet access, utilising existing copper telephone lines to send and receive data.

The term ADSL derives from the asymmetry between the download and upload speeds, with faster download speeds. ADSL provides internet access that is constantly on, unless manually disconnected via software or hardware. Multiple users on various computers can share ADSL accounts, with simultaneous access to the internet. ADSL data transmits on a digital frequency, while telephones and fax machines operate on analogue signals. Therefore, normal telephone services (voice) and high speed data transmission (internet access) occur simultaneously.

Currently, ADSL is not available in some areas. With Speeds varying in relation to the physical distance from local exchanges. Internet Service Providers (ISP) and telephone companies, are able to advise on ADSL access in your area.
