DSL Broadband Services

DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. It’s a way of getting broadband internet access through existing wire telephone systems. It uses the same infrastructure as a conventional dial-up modem, but operates at much higher speeds when both sending and receiving data. In general, an ADSL connection runs at a few megabits per second (Mbps), where an old style dial-up connection won’t be any faster than 50 or so kilobits per second.
Business broadband needs to be fast, and a DSL connection brings the download speed needed to watch video or listen to audio in real time, for example. We offer services with speeds up to 24 Mbps, which is more than fast enough for most businesses. All you’ll need is a DSL modem and filters on your phone and fax lines.
Telephone systems and dial-up modems transmit and receive data on an analogue signal. DSL is digital and operating on a different frequency, so while the information travels along the same channels, it’s kept distinct. This means you can use the phone as normal while also up or downloading data from the internet and surfing the web.
Like all good business broadband, a single DSL connection can be used by several machines simultaneously with no interruption of service. It’s ‘Always On’ which means there is no need to connect every time one of your staff opens a web browser or sends an email. There are a few different types available (ADSL and SDSL being the two main ones), and we will discuss those in more detail in other blogs.
