Whats the diffrence between dsl and adsl?

Question

i am getting internet through my phone line and need a wireless router which do i go for ADSL or DSL??

Answer 1

what you require is a wireless router/modem combo unit. any computer shop (i.e PC world, Curry's, etc) will be able to get you what you require.

DSL = digital subscriber line
ADSL = Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line

Answer 2

The two terms are used interchangeably to represent the same thing. ADSL is assymetric, meaning that the download (downstream) and upload (upstream) speeds are different. One is faster, which in most cases is downstream. The DSL line typically has a max bandwidth set for a particular price range. Because the downstream matters so much more to the average consumer, the downstream is given more of the bandwidth. Hence, that gives you ADSL.

SDSL isn't necessarily better. You have the same bandwidth capability, but it's split equally between the upstream and downstream. This is usually more beneficial to a company that does a lot of sharing from one site to another, or hosts an internet site.

Most people usually refer to ADSL as just DSL. If someone means to say SDSL, they'll say it!

Answer 3

ADSL is a specific variant of DSL.

Saying DSL is a bit like saying I have a BMW.

Saying ADSL is like saying I have a BMW 323i - its more specific.

(For a standard home installation you will get ADSL).

DSL = digital subscriber line
ADSL = asymmetric digital subsciber line
SDSL = symmetric digital subscriber line
HDSL = high speed digital subscriber line
VDSL = very high speed digital subscriber line

Answer 4

Majority of views are here accepts Rama as more adorable. Rama did many great things. Rama lives so deeply in Indian souls that in every odd of life whether to great some one or express any feelings even at the time of death people chants Rama's name. Rama's did everything himself but there are very few people who can act on rama's principles so we find it very east to go Krishna's side. because according to me Krishna never done anything himself he only asked others to do it.What Krishna did that is neither good for todays society not desirable to do.

Answer 5

The A stands for Assymetrical - there is no difference - sometimes its just referred to as DSL. The A was added because you can now get SDSL which is "Symettrical" (very expensive)
