Množina: ADSLs

Acronym for asymmetric digital subscriber line. Technology and equipment allowing high-speed digital communication, including video signals, across an ordinary twisted-pair copper phone line, with speeds up to 8 Mbps (megabits per second) downstream (to the customer) and up to 640 Kbps (kilobits per second) upstream. ADSL access to the Internet is offered by some regional telephone companies, offering users faster connection times than those available through connections made over standard phone lines. Also called: asymmetric digital subscriber loop. Compare SDSL.
The data rate from the ISP is greater than the data rate to the ISP. For example, ADSL would deliver 6 million bits per second (6Mb/s) to the home, but only 384 thousand bits per second (384Kb/s) from the home to the ISP.
