Introduction to ADSL Broadband
Understanding ADSL Broadband
Are you curious about how ADSL functions as a part of broadband technology? Here's a straightforward guide to help you understand ADSL better.
What is ADSL?
ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. It's a type of DSL that leverages existing copper telephone cables to deliver high-speed internet. Typically, ADSL provides internet speeds 10 to 140 times faster than the traditional 56k dial-up connection.
ADSL vs. SDSL
While ADSL is commonly used in homes, SDSL (Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is more suited for businesses because it offers equal upload and download speeds.
ADSL Speed
ADSL can achieve speeds of up to 8Mbps, though the most common service in the UK offers 512Kbps. Some users prefer 2Mbps speeds, depending on their specific needs.
ADSL in the UK
Many Internet Service Providers in the UK offer ADSL by reselling services from major operators like British Telecommunications (BT). About 90% of the UK is equipped to provide ADSL services.
Availability of ADSL Broadband
The availability of ADSL depends on the proximity of your location to an upgraded telephone exchange. Older exchanges aren't suitable for ADSL, so make sure your local exchange has been modernized. The distance from the exchange affects speed; the farther you are, especially in rural areas, the less effective your ADSL connection may be. In such cases, a 512Kbps speed might be a better option.
Billing and Costs
Billing for ADSL can be monthly or yearly, based on your preference. Most providers include a free modem with their packages, though some may require you to rent one.
ADSL Installation
Installing ADSL is typically straightforward and can often be done by yourself. These services are usually available as self-install or plug-and-play. Simply connect the modem to your PC and phone line using a microfilter. Follow the included instructions to install the necessary software and log in with your username and password. Once set up, you'll enjoy a remarkable internet browsing experience.
This introduction should give you a clear understanding of ADSL broadband, its functions, and how it can improve your internet connectivity.
