Benefits of DSL
There
are six main benefits that DSL or Digital Subscriber Line brings.
These are:Ease of Use, Simultaneous connection, Connectivity,
Reliability, Speed,andSecurity.
Ease Of Use
DSL is relatively easy to use. It can be up and
running with only a single visit from an installer. Once installation
is completed, the customer needs to just click on their browser
and they are connected!
Simultaneous Connection
DSL enables you to talk on the phone and surf
the Net at the same time using the same phone line.The customer
does not need another phone line. Also, the customer does not
need to disable call waiting to connect to the Internet.
Connectivity
DSL enables the user to be always connected to
the Net. There is no waiting, no dialing, no busy signals and
no logging on and off. This constant connection supports streaming
applications such as IP Multicast that will be used for education,
entertainment and business.
Reliability
DSL operates using a copper based network. This
network, being one of the most reliable infrastructures in the
world makes it very unlikely for the phone lines to go down,
and if they do, service is restored almost instantly.
Speed
DSL is the best solution to the demand of high-speed
access. It guarantees to give the data rates necessary to handle
all kinds of applications, such as broadcast quality video,
by-directional video conferencing and very fast data transfer.
DSL can deliver data up to a hundred times faster than dial
up modems.
Security
Since DSL uses already existing copper telephone
wires, it supplies a private "point to point connection"
between the user and the telephone company's central office.
The customers can make purchases, transact their banking or
deal with their most sensitive business issues and feel confident
that the information that they have dealt with is safe.
