What
is DSL broadband? |
|
Simply
put, broadband is a high-speed connection to the Internet
that is always on. Broadband is faster than a standard dial-up,
enabling you to view web content faster and download files
more quickly. Besides being much faster, broadband is more
reliable than dial-up due to broadband's digital nature and
always on connectivity. With broadband, when you turn on your
computer, you're already connected to the Internet and ready
to surf at high speeds. |

How
does the DSL technology work? |
|
DSL
stands for Digital Subscriber Line - a technology which transforms
plain old telephone lines into a high speed conduit for data,
information, entertainment and more. It utilizes more of the
bandwidth on copper phone lines than what is currently used
for plain old telephone service. The DSL technology uses the
frequencies above the telephone bandwidth. Therefore on different
frequencies one can make voice and be on the Internet simultaneously. |

What
is Symmetric/Asymmetric DSL? |
|
ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line supports different data
transfer rates in the upstream and downstream directions.
Typically, download speeds are faster than upload speeds.
Typical ADSL rates are 128/256, 128/384 or 128/768 where the
first number indicates upstream rates and the second indicates
downstream rates. For example, 128/768 implies 128 Kbps in
the upstream and 768 Kbps in the downstream direction. ADSL
and its variants (G.lite) support simultaneous voice and data
on the same physical pair of copper lines and so ADSL is an
attractive solution for the home user and especially where
additional physical copper pairs are scarce.
SDSL
Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line supports symmetric
or identical data transfer rates in both upstream and downstream
directions. Typically, businesses require higher upload speeds
and so SDSL has found greater demand in the business sector.
In addition, most SDSL solutions require the use of a dedicated
pair of copper phone lines and as a result simultaneous voice
and data over the same pair are not supported on most SDSL
solutions. Multinet
supports both ADSL and SDSL services.

Why
should I consider getting DSL broadband? |
|
For
the sheer speed and power that makes communication easier
than ever before and helps you make the most of everything
the Internet has to offer.
If thats not reason enough, here are some more:
- Very fast connection. DSL delivers Internet easily when
you need it.
- Always ON. No call charges for just getting connected.
- Be able to use the phone for voice calls while surfing,
no need to go for additional connection for Internet. |

How
expensive is DSL? |
|
It
depends on your needs, usage and the kind of solution you
go in for. Just click on tariff plans and pick the package
that suits both your needs and your budget.
