With ADSL, subscribers can now get up to 6 Mbps of data in one direction, or about 832 kbps or more data in both directions. These rates of expansion enable the expansion of existing access capacity by a factor of about 50 or more. And that too, without the need for new cabling. The ADSL circuit uses an ADSL modem on each end of the twisted-pair telephone line. ADSL is a new technology that stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. This is commonly known as DSL and can provide high speed internet access to homes using the standard copper telephone lines. It is different from Internet access that is provided through cable television lines. |
