DSL

 

A.D.S.L vs. S.D.S.L.   

 

What does it mean?

A.D.S.L. (Asymmetric DSL) is DSL service that provides users

with a higher download speed than upload speed. 

This service is perfect for normal surfing and internet applications.

 

S.D.S.L. (Symmetric DSL) is DSL service that provides the

same speed for both downloads and uploads.  This service is preferred

by many webmasters, gamers and those who frequently upload large files.
