Issues relating to DSL service

ADSL

ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital

Subscriber Line
Downlink rate (8MBps) > Uplink (128 to
768KBps)
QPSK is used upto 1Mbps and 128 PAM
in VDSL for 56 Mbps

The downstream rate is often up to

10 times faster than the upstream
rate.

 The

data rate of ADSL is highly dependent upon the

distance from the Central Office (CO) to the Consumer
Premises (CPE).
At a distance of 2.5 km, 8 Mbps downstream can be
achieved while at 5 km, only 1.544 Mbps downstream can
be achieved. VDSL can only transmit upto 1.5 Km.

Advantages of ADSL

ADSL is well suited to residential

applications. It uses lines that are already
installed virtually everywhere and peacefully
coexists with current phone service.
ADSL is ideal for most home computing and
small business applications because of the
large downstream data capacity (up to 8
Mbps).
Voice and Data service can work at the same
time
