DSL-Digital Subscriber Line
Its all about Bandwidth!

As information and data have become more important DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), is helping to make home, small and medium businesses more connected. This technology is a high bandwidth signaling technology. It uses regular copper phone lines to transmit the data to the user. Because of the analog nature of DSL its speed varies. It will transmit data at rates of 1.544Mbps to 256Kbps downloads. Uploads are usually on the order of 128kbps. These speeds are aubject to your home/offices distance to the local Reginal Bell Operating Company (RBOC's) central office (CO).

Dsl comes in a variety of different technologies. Some of these are ADSL, HDSL, IDSL and RADSL. Each technology is described below:

ADSL stands for Asymmetric DSL. This technology provides the end user with greater downstream than upstream rates. ADSL provides for bidirectional data transmission however the downstream traffic travels faster than the upstream traffic. Presently ADSL data rates can vary from 192K to 9M. Check out our DSL matrix on how to choose which DSL service is best for you.

HDSL stands for High-bit-rate DSL. This technology provides the end user with data transmission that is bidirectional and has rates up to 1.5Mbps. This technology uses two pair of phone lines: one for sending data and the other for receiving data. Check out our DSL matrix on how to choose which DSL service is best for you.

IDSL stands for ISDN DSL. This technology uses ISDN phone lines and is capable of providing data rates up to 144Kbps bidirectional. This technology can be used on any ISDN phone line. Check out our DSL matrix on how to choose which DSL service is best for you.

RADSL stands for Rate Adapative DSL. This technology allows modems to automatically and dynamically to adjust their transmission speeds. This allows for greater distance extension of ADSL service. Check out our DSL matrix on how to choose which DSL service is best for you.

Presently DSL is being deployed across the country and overseas. DSL is best suited for home users who would like to experience the internet at faster rates than analog modems 56K. For businesses that would like to take advantage of a cheaper solution to T1 facilities and charges. Also for telecommuters who need a better method of performing their job than using existing telephones and ISDN services. If you would like to see how DSL can make a difference in your business give us a call at 888-243-8258.
