We all know how fast we could surf the internet with a broadband connection,okey then ADSL is the technology that brings us broadband.Now its time for ADSL2+, an improvement in the orginal technology that may revolutionise the way we use the Internet.
The main bottle neck in providing broadband connection is the infrastructure,all those old copper wires running down under our cities may be celebrating its centenary soon.
Chris de Courcy-Bower, Lucent:
"Nowadays we are trying to squeeze 25 megabits per second down
a cable that was only designed to carry three kilohertz of traffic."
And this kind of cabling is knwn as POTS
"Plain Old Telephone System"
DSL is Digital Subscriber Line, and that refers to the connection between you and the exchange, and the A stands for Asymmetric, which means the you can download data faster than you can upload it.
