customers who require greater upload speed.

Benefits of ADSL
-Multi speed asymmetric transmission. Designed for those residential and business
customers who do not do a lot of file uploads.

Limitations of ADSL &
SDSL
- Both are distance sensitive.
- DSL service is dependent upon local network conditions. Each phone line must
be tested and qualified. Testing will be done at the time of order. Additional
costs may apply, but will be reviewed with customer before provisioning.
- Actual DSL speeds are dependent upon distance and loop conditions.
