DSL BROADBAND INTERNET SERVICES

with the tremendous growth in Internet usage,the need to provide faster connection speed continues.Traditional technologies such as modems can often not provide the desired increase in speed (bandwidth).A number of new technologies are being developed with DSL that provides high speed over existing telephone cabling becoming increasingly popular. Afghan Telecom has gained valuable experience and knowledge about DSL and we have deployed all latest available technology and equipment to provide our customers high speed networks

What is DSL Internet?

DSL refers to a class of technology used to obtain more bandwidth over existing copper telephone cabling running between a customer's premises and a Telco's Central Office. DSL allows simultaneous voice and high-speed data services such as superfast Internet access over a single pair of copper telephone wires.

What is Special about DSL Internet?

The cables connecting most households to the phone network are mainly simple twisted pair copper wires,which have only been able to carry analogue traffic. Modem speeds have gradually increased through the use of various compression and other techniques, but at today's fastest (56 Kbit/s) they are approaching the theoretical limit for this technology. DSL technology enables much higher speeds across the twisted pair lines from the Central Office to the home,school or business. Speeds up to 2 Megabits per second are achievable in some areas - 30 or more times faster than today's fastest modems. This means that some consumers and tele-workers will be able to use applications that need these higher speeds even if high performance (fiber) cable networks are not available in their location.

What are the main benefits of connecting to the Internet via DSL?

DSL can provide virtually instantaneous transmission of voice, data and video over ordinary copper phone lines. A DSL connection can eliminate the frustrating delays associated when waiting to download information and graphics from the Internet. It provides residential subscribers with a cost effective uninterrupted high speed Internet connection. For schools, businesses and branch offices, DSL provides fast access to mission-critical information oncorporate Intranet servers and the Internet. Another significant benefit is that a DSL connection is always on-line(like a LAN connection) with no waiting
