Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)

The Special hardware allows for continuous digital connection over the phone DSL-based broadband speeds ranging from kilo bytes per second (Kbps) to millions of bits per second (Mbps). The availability and speed of your DSL service may depend on the distance between your home/office and the Service provider. The most commonly available technology is ADSL for Residential customer and SDLC by Business customers.
  • ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line)

  • ADSL Broadband is mostly used by residential customer.ADSL allows you to use the regular telephone line and internet at the same time without disturbing the calls on that line. The Download rate varies from 1.5 to 9Mbps and the upload rate varies from 16 to 640Kbps based on your connection speed and type of connection.
  • SDSL (Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line)

  • SDLC is similar to ADSL connection. It is used typically for Business purpose as it requires for video conferencing, but it requires a extra telephone line for voice calls.
  • Cable Modem
