ADSL Basics
An ADSL connection represents the optimum solutions for the small and middle range companies that appreciate the quality and reliability of a bandwidth guaranteed service, but at the same cannot spare an important budget for their Internet connection. The service is also aimed at those home users that need a broadband, guaranteed connection for transferring a high volume of data over the Internet.
The ADSL service uses a shared telephone line. Therefore, the same telephone line will be used for both the voice service offerd by Romtelecom and VipNet's data services.
ADSL (Asymetrical Digital subscriber Line) is a branch of the DSL technology thst takes advantage of a common behaviour among Internet users. In most cases, the volume of data coming towards the client (the download) is much bigger than the volume of data leaving the client (the upload). The ADSL equipments allow 8Mbps/1Mbps links to be established (26Mbps/3Mbps for ADSL2+) using a digital coding technique, and thus not interfering with the conventional voice services that share the same line.
