Brief Introduction To Broadband

Anyone who has switched from a dial-up modem to broadband DSL knows the advantages of DSL internet access. The differences between the two are truly astounding. When people begin surfing the internet using broadband DSL after struggling with a dial-up modem, they never want to go back to a slow and often unreliable dial-up connection.

Broadband DSL connection speeds vary, but the average DSL connection rate ranges on average between 128 kilobits per second all the way up to 1.54 megabits per second. Typical dial-up modems can’t even come close to reaching typical broadband DSL speeds.

The remarkable speed of broadband DSL has made internet use more convenient, and DSL has improved the quality of many existing online activities such as shopping, banking, downloading audio and video, and gaming. Besides a notable increase in connection speed and website navigation, with broadband DSL, internet users are always connected to the world wide web. DSL provides valuable information and online activities that remain just a few keystrokes away.

Broadband DSL use digital technology by compressing sizeable quantities of video, audio, and data into what is known as “bits.” The bits are transformed into graphics, text, and other information which are transferred at high rates of speed to business and home computers across the globe.

At the uppermost level, the two primary categories of DSL are asymmetric and symmetric. Residential broadband DSL typically uses asymmetric variations which include RADSL, UADSL/G.Lite, and ADSL. Data transfer rates are considerably slower upstream than downstream, so this type of broadband DSL, ADSL, is suitable for residential use where surfing the internet is the primary internet activity. Residential internet users generally have more incoming than outgoing data.

Symmetric varieties of broadband DSL, SDSL, are IDSL and HDSL. These broadband DSL variants are suitable for most business applications. Upstream and downstream transfer rates are the same, making SDSL technology suitable for server hosting, video conferencing, LAN applications, file transfers, and email.
