How does ADSL Broadband Work ?

 

Broadband uses a technology called ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line). ADSL transforms your existing standard telephone line into a high-speed digital line, capable of carrying the high-speed broadband service.

ADSL modems use digital coding. Therefore you are getting more capacity out of your phone line without interference to your regular phone usage. In effect, you can talk on the phone, send fax and surf the web simultaneously.

This means you don't need a new line installed - saving you money and hassle. In most cases you won't even have to change your telephone number. All you'll need at your end, is a computer that meets the minimum requirements, plus a broadband modem and microfilters (phone adapters), available when you order Broadband. You can also share Broadband with other computers in your home.
