Speed of DSL
DSL technology offers speeds up to 50 times faster than analog modem, dial-up Internet access by allowing
you to download software, share large files, browse the Internet or conduct Internet transactions with
minimal delay and increased productivity.
Productivity of DSL
DSL service provides symmetrical access that means the same fast transmission rates are available for both
sending and receiving data. Symmetric DSL is a proven, flexible and reliable technology allowing more
effective use of the latest Internet and data applications. Users can be on the phone and the Internet at the
same time because DSL technology allows simultaneous voice and data communications. DSL is “always-
on” so there is no need to dial every time the Internet is accessed. Plus there are fewer interruptions with
dropped connectivity during Internet browsing or downloading.
And because DSL utilizes traditional copper telephone wires, Internet connectivity is simple and reliable.
