ADSL2 (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line)
ADSL stands for ‘Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line’. This type of internet is rather interesting because not only is downloading and uploading faster than with its broadband counterpart, but the asymmetric element also allows for different uploand and download speeds – downloading is much faster than uploading.
ADSL2 is an innovation in Internet technology that makes use of the cutting-edge mechanism to offer high-speed data transfer from a PC or a computer terminal to the network of networks – the Internet. DSL, which stands for Digital Subscriber Line, is the standard that facilitates carriage of data bits from the telephone connection with the help of which one can take up voice calls and even carry out video conferencing. adsl2, which stands for Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line, is the familiar and the advanced version that lets an Internet user to download at a substantial speed however the uploading speed is expected to be comparatively low.
This standard is meant to offer a high-speed connectivity to various computers that are interconnected within a particular network. With the working characteristic that is capable to operate at twice the speed of a normal ADSL modem now the upload speed of 24 Mbps and download speed of 3.5 Mbps is no longer a distant reality.
ADSL2 while still vulnerable to the factor of distance will fare much better because of the technique used to accomplish its maximum potential. It is possible for users to apply for two or more lines using ADSL2. This is possible because the lines may be bonded to produce speeds up to 30Mb. Hence even if the user lives a bit further from a normal exchange he or she will be able to obtain a fast enough connection rate while these two lines are bonded.
There are some wireless routers that can be switched to access point mode such as WZR-HP-G300NH Buffalo Nfiniti Wireless-N Router & Access Point. It includes external switch to change between router and access point modes. Some router manufacturers provide guidelines in connecting the router to another router (including this ADSL2 modem router) such as disabling the DHCP server, disabling the UPnP, and modifying the IP address that is in the same subnet with your current network.
This is the fastest broadband service you can get over a copper phone line presently. To get ADSL2+ you need to have a connected phone line. If you don’t want to pay for a phone line each month, but want the same ADSL 2+ speeds, then Naked DSL may be a better service for you.
The maximum download speed for ADSL2+ is 24 Mbps, but in reality no one gets downloads that fast because your speed slows the further you are from the local phone exchange. The copper phone line in the street and wiring and equipment in your house can also slow speeds down. But most people will get somewhere between 5Mbps and 15Mbps.
ADSL2+ is available via the equipment (or DSLAMs) of a number of internet service providers like iinet, Optus, Internode and more. These plans are available at hundreds of exchanges throughout Australia where these ISPs have installed their own DSLAMs.
Users who live at a distance which is far away from the telephone exchange will get their data bits transferred in a attenuated manner and sometimes there might be a fluctuation in the speed that you experience. However the instability is not purely dependent on the ADSL2 line but on the Internet Infrastructure that is made available at every household that owns a broadband connection
People who want to surf the Internet in a considerable speed and in a hassle free way thus prefer the ADSL lines, which don’t have these kinds of aforementioned problems.
