~ GENERAL INFORMATION ON ADSL ~
ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. This technology uses the existing POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) infrastructure and enables high speed data transmission. The vision is that it will enable the transmission of digital information at high speeds over the existing infrastructure. This would allow for services such as Videoconferencing, Video/Audio-on-Demand, Interactive Television, Multimedia Education and many more...
