ADSL FAQs

What is ADSL?

Asymmetrical digital subscriber line. A very fast download and quite fast upload digital service used with the Internet or private networks.

What does that mean?

Originally it meant a dry copper pair of wiring (Dry Signal Line) and now commonly is considered digital subscriber line. This broadband connection uses the space for signals outside of the voice range to carry signals back to the network. Many cases are for 256K (kilobits). Now Freese-Notis has higher download and upload speeds 1,024 (kilobits) with a maximum of 25,000 (kilobits) download but more 1,500 (kilobits). These higher upload speeds are key to the advantage of ADSL compared to competing broadband offerings which run at a fraction of these speed.

How much is ADSL installation and monthly fees?

DSL enables full use of the phone lines bandwidth, whereas cable modems users will enjoy only a fraction of their shared bandwidth. Along with cabling convenience in that you can position ADSL routers at your location fairly easily near conventional phone lines with filters attached to any voice or facsimile equipment and use both at the same exact time!

• Standard range from the Central Office (the telephone facility you are connected) is 18,000 feet currently.
