What is ADSL2?
ADSL2 is the standard for providing internet connection via telephone. It is designed to work about twice as fast as ADSL. This means that a speed of up to 24 MB/s for downloading and 3.5 MB/s for recording is theoretically possible.
To spread part of the jargon, DSL stands for a digital subscription line and refers to a technology that allows a normal telephone line at the same time as voice calls. ADSL is the most common version of this technology. And means "asymmetric" and refers to a settings that allows faster data to download data than recording. Because most domestic users download much more data than they record, ADSL is more efficient and therefore economically viable. It requires new equipment at both ends of the connection. This means that ADSL2 will only be available in the area as soon as the local phone has been upgraded. Customers who want to use ADSL2 will then need a new modem router. NenFor example, no changes in the telephone line itself. Whether companies charge more for the ADSL2 service, it is up to them, although some analysts believe that the competition among providers will mean that there are little space to raise prices.
and also offers faster speeds on the line, ADSL2 also allows you to use two telephone lines for one connection. This is known as the use of "connected lines". This increases the available speed, even if it does not necessarily multiply the speed.
As with standard ADSL, ADSL 2 is still influenced by the distance between the customer and the local telephone exchange. This is because the signal degrades more, the further it has to travel through copper lines. Customers who live away from the stock exchange usually get slower speeds. This is unlike Fiber-Optic Connections, such as the one that offers some cable providers where speed is not affected by distance.
at what speed providers offer with ADSL2 will vary. In most cases, its use doubles the capacity for downloading data, which means that providers offer up to double the speed of their ADSL service in the same area. Providers can also offer increased recording speed, although some may not consider it useful to do it. Because ADSL2 is an agreed standard, providers should not use a deadline for any service that has download speeds below 8 Mbps or recording speed below 800 kb/s
