Asymmetric Digital Subscribe Line (ADSL) provides a dedicated high-speed internet connection over your existing telephone line without ever having to dial. Many SME businesses require high-speed access to the world wide web. Other need to be online regularly or constantly, but do not want to tie-up their existing telephone lines.

ADSL is a high-speed telephone service, typically 10 times faster than a 56k Modem and many times faster than the standard ISDN service or “Business Highway”. You add ADSL service to an existing analogue phone line, this allows you to use your standard phone line for calls and at the same time have a high-speed connection to the internet through BWN Telecom.

The upstream speed of ADSL is less than the downstream speed, this is fine for most SME’s as you typically send small requests upstream and pull lots of information downstream.

In summary, ADSL from BWN Telecom runs much faster than a modem, is always on, doesn’t tie up your phone line, is charged at a flat-rate and is billed together with your telephone traffic in one easy to understand monthly bill.
