There are many advantages ADSL has over cable modems. It is considered to be far less expensive and has a wider range of availability. Unlike cable?s high-speed Internet services, which are only available in high market areas, ADSL is available in places that cable does not offer Internet access. Thus, ADSL might appeal to consumers who prioritize practicality. ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. The ÔasymmetricÕ part simply means that you can download over the line faster than you can upload Ð good for home users, who generally download (get things from the Internet) far more than they upload (send things to it). |
