Broadband Advantages

ADSL is an inexpensive way to obtain a high-speed connection to the Internet. It is capable of receiving data up to thirty times faster than a standard analogue modem which means it is a more suitable for transporting multimedia data, video, audio and other large files.

Despite higher speeds, costs are kept low because the technology utilises existing copper telephone lines to carry data. Computers connected to the Internet using ADSL are permanently connected at all times, and there are no associated calls or call charges. This means Internet services can be accessed without delay, and at a fixed monthly cost.

Another advantage of ADSL is that despite sharing the same physical cabling, simultaneous use can be made of both the telephone and Internet. This is particularly useful for small offices and for staff that frequently work from home.

ADSL can also be combined with simple wireless technology, which allows multiple users to connect to the Internet without the need for cables.
