How can you use bandwidth in a sentence?

To use applications remotely requires a lot of bandwidth, which is only really available from a broadband connection.My ADSL bandwidth is low, so I can't download files very quickly.


Network Bandwidth?

There are many different types of networks a computer can be connected to. Many are connected to the world's largest wide area network, the Internet. The speed of your connection to the Internet depends on the amount of bandwidth you lease from your Internet service provider. The type of media Internet service providers use is also a factor in determining the bandwidth. Digital subscriber lines or DSL providers such as AT&T compete directly with cable Internet providers such as Comcast or Cox.Media DSL Internet service providers use is telephone lines whereas cable Internet service providers use coaxial cable to transmit signals. The coaxial cable is capable of higher speeds and increased throughput compared to telephone lines that ADSL providers use. Maximum downstream throughput of ADSL media is 6 Mbps whereas cables maximum downstream throughput is in excess of 100 Mbps. Since phone wire infrastructure is already in place for the majority of residential and business customers, it tends to be cheaper and more widely available.DSL can only reach so far without the help of devices called repeaters that boost the signal levels. It operates over the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and can support multiple data and voice channels on one line. The A before ADSL stands for asymmetrical which means it can download faster that upload. Broadband cable also uses asymmetrical data transfers. Both media require a modem to modulate and demodulate signals for transmission and reception.Another type of wide area network technology is asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). ATM media uses fiber optic cable or CAT 5e or higher twisted pair cable. ATMs throughput is over 600 Mbps and has a fixed packet size for data transmission. ATM is often deployed over SONET wide area network technology. A synchronous optical network or SONET has amazing fault tolerances due to its double ring topology over fiber optic cable. SONET infrastructure is the choice when linking WANs between countries.While technology advances so will the network infrastructure. As bandwidth speeds in the 3-6 Mbps range will work well for most users, higher bandwidth is available for those who need it such as gamers or professionals who download large files from a server on a regular basis. Many forms of network infrastructure exist, except residential users are usually only familiar with the infrastructure that is already built into their homes; cable and PSTN.

What are some reviews for the a DSL modem wireless router?

The ADSL modem wireless router works decent according to reviews. However, I would replace your router with one such as Netgear, or a well known brand name router. Often, these will offer warranties. Routers are not cheap, so the decision is important.

Yes, you need a modem.With broadband you normally get the modem from the broadband provider, either the phone company (ADSL over phone line) or the cable TV company (broadband over cable).

Do you need a separate phone line for dsl if your security system uses your phone line?

ADSL needs to be filtered and so does ALL other equipment on the line. This includes any alarm equipment (red care for example). Red care does work with ADSL but most alarm companies recommend a dedicated line.


What is the difference between ADSL and HDSL?

Speed is the difference between HDSL and ADSL. HDSL has high upload and download speeds whereas ADSL has a slow upload speed coupled with a high download speed.


What is the difference between DSL and ADSL?

ADSL is simply a version or 'flavour' of DSL. The 'a' refers to asymmetric, meaning 'not the same'. Hence, ADSL usually has different downstream and upstream rates (e.g. 1536/256 is a common speed of ADSL available in Australia, where downstream the link speed is 1536kbps and upstream is 256kbps).
