BROADBAND OR ADSL
The acronym ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is a new broadband internet technology that lets you enjoy super-fast internet access without the need for lots of mind-boggling equipment. ADSL uses everyday copper phone lines to deliver broadband internet at superfast speeds.
This type of data transfer is called "asymetric" because the time that it takes to upload and download information is not the same.
ADSL lets you enjoy some exciting differences:
- You can download large files fast. ADSL makes super-fast broadband Internet access easy. Even large downloads take a lot less time. And the ADSL connection is far more robust than dial-up, so you won't have to start again because the line dropped out.
- You can still use your phone lines while you're on the web. Have a chat, answer calls, send faxes, etc.
- You can save on call costs and extra line rental. With ADSL, you only need one phone line.
- You don't need to dial-up and wait. Because ADSL doesn't affect your phone, there's no need for you to turn it off so the internet can be there whenever you want it.
