What is ADSL?
ADSL is a new modem-based technology: with ADSL Service, there's no need to purchase
an additional line to get high-speed access to the Internet. ADSL works with the existing
phone line. The ADSL modem and splitter connected to the existing phone line separate
voice signals from high-speed data. The connection to the Internet is a direct, permanent
connection, eliminating the typical delays due to busy signals or connection time.
This allows ADSL users to take a voice call and browse the Internet, all at the
same time.
How fast is DSL?
At this time, ADSL speeds run up to 1.5 Mbps, but faster ADSL speeds are under
development. The maximum speed will depend on such factors as the distance between
your ADSL modem and the GTE serving office, as well as the condition of your line.
Can I still use my telephone if I have DSL?
Yes. ADSL subscribers can talk on the phone or send/receive faxes, while using
ADSL Service to access the Internet or transmit data.
Traditional analog voice band modems use the same frequency band, 0-4 kilohertz (kHz), as
telephone service. This prevents simultaneous voice and data use. But the new ADSL
modems operate at frequencies above the voice channel, from 100 kHz to 1.1 megahertz
(MHz). Which means plain old telephone service (or POTS) and ADSL data service can operate
concurrently.
By using the same telephone line, there's no need for a new telephone number
to use ADSL. Plus, if the ADSL modem is unplugged or otherwise disabled, it won't
affect your normal telephone service. And if you have an analog modem or fax machine
connected to your phone line, they'll still work too.
