ADSL and ADSL2+ utilize the same technology, the latter is simply a newer generation of that technology that allows for greater upload and download speeds than "Standard" ADSL.

Existing TPG ADSL customers may need to cancel their existing ADSL service before registering for TPG ADSL 2+. Within the next few months, Telstra should have a fast transfer process that will allow us to move existing TPG ADSL customers to TPG ADSL2+. This process should take between a few minutes to a few hours with no need to cancel the existing service. For further information please contact TPG Customer Service on 1300 360 855.

Both ADSL2+ and ISDN use the copper wires that connect you to your local exchange (sometimes known as 'the last mile' or 'the local loop'), but an ADSL2+ line provides a digital service over the same line and at the same time as your analogue service (without interfering with it), while an ISDN line provides only a digital service (but this can be 'converted' to analogue by your terminal equipment or Highway wall box for voice calls).

TPG receives the completed ADSL Registration form and verifies that the customer has completed all relevant sections. The first subscription fees are billed monthly, quarterly or another term as specified for the customers plan. Note: Billing period will commence when the service is first activated. Installation will proceed on receipt of payment. Allow 5 working days for direct debit processing.

Yes it is always better to inform your existing provider to ensure that you avoid any contractual disputes on your end.

ADSL2+ stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, version 2+, and represents the latest generation of Broadband Services. Technicallly it is very similar to ADSL, in that it runs over existing copper telephone lines and uses the same systems, but improvements in the technology have allowed the speed of the service to be greatly enhanced.

sDSL stands for Synchronous DSL, which simply means the download and upload speeds are synchronous (or in other words, equal). ADSL stands for Asynchronous DSL, this basically means that the download speed can be much higher than the upload speed. aDSL is the most common type of DSL, since faster downloads are usually the reason for getting a broadband connection.

ADSL is Asymmetric, meaning that it downloads faster than it uploads. SDSL is Symmetric, meaning that download and upload speeds are the same. Apart from this difference, the technologies are essentially the same (they are both Digital Subscriber Line technologies), with the exception that SDSL requires its own Telephone Line and cannot be piggy backed onto your normal telephone line. The ability of the line to make telephone calls is sacrificed to allow the greater upload speeds SDSL provides.

DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. There are several variations of DSL that are all based on the same technology. ADSL, or Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, is one of these variations. ADSL technology uses the normal telephone network to transmit data in two directions at high speed. Download speeds of up to 2 Mbits/s and upload speeds of up to 384 kbits/s are possible. No. ADSL is only used for Internet access.

ADSL is different from SDSL. For Symmetric DSL (SDSL), the upload and download speeds are the same. For Asymmetric DSL (ADSL), the upload and download speeds can be different. IDSL is available when you are more than 18,000 feet from the CO, and the speed is limited to 128K. GTI offers SDSL and IDSL service, though the speeds that are available to you ultimately depend on your distance from the phone company's CO.

ADSL provides always-on high-speed Internet access over a single dedicated telephone line; cable modems offer always-on high-speed Internet access over a shared cable television line. While cable modems have the potential for greater downstream (from the Internet into the home) bandwidth capabilities, that bandwidth is shared among all users in a neighborhood, and will therefore vary, perhaps dramatically, as more users in a neighborhood get online at the same time.

ISDN is a digital service supporting speeds of 64K and 128K in it's basic configuration. ADSL is many times faster than ISDN, and for most Internet-related applications, ADSL is a better choice. ADSL is also significantly cheaper than ISDN.

ADSL is a type of DSL where the upstream and downstream speeds differ (hence the "asymmetric" part). There are many variations of DSL technology for different types of application (HDSL, SDSL, etc).

They are the same thing: ADSL is a form of Broadband connection which uses BT's standard phone lines. The other main type of Broadband connection is called a leased line.

ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber line. In very simple terms it is a technology that can provide you with a very fast, "always on"* connection to the Internet through an ordinary phone line. It is the technology used to provide Broadband Internet access to the vast majority of people in the UK. The words Broadband and ADSL are often used interchangeably. But technically "Broadband" refers to the speed of a connection (i.e.
