No. Unlike Cable Internet access, your ADSL connection is not shared with others. There are no line-ups or traffic jams with ADSL technology because each user has their own dedicated high-speed connection to the Internet. You may experience some variation in speed if you have more than one computer linked simultaneously to ADSL from your home or when accessing slow Web sites. ADSL uses the copper phone wires to provide service.

The gating factors for determining this are the throughput of both the user connections and the compression algorithms. From a connection standpoint and for this illustration, we consider that all users are replicating simultaneously and all are replicating data that is being compressed by TurboGold. TurboGold‘s compression algorithms can sustain a throughput of 12 MB per second on a 100 MHz CPU.
