When you place an order with us for a dry line, we first order a loop from the ILEC (Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier). The ILEC will send the order to engineering that will form a loop from the CO (central Office) to your location. The ILEC will use existing cooper in your area and via splice points, create a loop to your location. Note the ILEC will NOT install new copper wires.

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. See similar questions...

A T1 is a high speed telecommunication line that can carry 24 digitalized voice channels, or it can carry data at a rate of 1.544 megabits per second. TI lines carry about roughly 60 times more data than a normal dial-up modem. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

ADSL stands for Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line. It allows you to simultaneously access the Internet and use the phone or fax (at the same time). SDSL stands for Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line. The difference between ADSL and SDSL is that SDSL offers the customer symmetric bandwidth upstream and downstream to a customer (eg. 1.5Mbps SDSL streamyx packages offers the customer 1.5Mbps downstream speed as well as 1.5Mbps upstream speed).

DSL, also known as xDSL, is a generic name for all DSL technologies. First Link currently provides ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line). ADSL is a transport that allows faster flow of information (data, voice, and video) downstream than upstream. SDSL (Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line) supports one speed regardless of information flow. IDSL (ISDN Digital Subscriber Line) is an ISDN technology that rides over existing twisted copper telephone line. See similar questions...

Line coverage is a classical but somewhat poorly defined concept. Except for the convenience of linking line coverage to the original source code, I don't think it should be used too much. EMMA's approach to analyzing line coverage is to project basic block coverage onto the source code line structure. See similar questions...

Also known as Broadband, an ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Loop) line is a form of Digital Subscriber Line in which the bandwidth available for downstream connection is significantly larger than for upstream. Although designed to minimise the effect of crosstalk between the upstream and downstream channels this setup is well suited for web browsing and client-server applications as well as for some emerging applications such as video on demand.

Your company has Internet access, but it's limited and not meeting your growing needs. Among small- to medium-sized business owners, SDSL has quickly become the broadband connection of choice. You need SDSL, a cost-effective way to increase your access speed along with other value-added services that will improve your Internet experience. SDSL. It's only four little letters, but what a difference those four letters can make for an emerging business. See similar questions...

Make sure your ISP is not having any general problems with its T1 circuits or general connectivity. If that is not the problem, you should call the phone company.

SDSL stands for Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line. A fixed, high-speed, digital internet connection transmitted via two copper wires. The fundamental difference between SDSL and ADSL is that SDSL has equal upload and download speeds. So for example, a package with 2000 MB bandwidth would allow you upload and download data at the same speed. Unlike ADSL, SDSL does not require an existing line service and there are no line rentals to be paid over and above the SDSL service. See similar questions...

If the network connection or power to the DisplayWatch device is removed before the alarm loop is disconnected, the alarm will not function, so the DisplayWatch device must be strategically placed to either be inaccessible or access to the device must be protected by the alarm loop.

Most contractors prefer to retain control over the entire job to ensure compatibility of all sections, but the digging of the horizontal trench (and backfilling) is one area that could reduce costs if done under the guidance and direction of the installing contractor. See similar questions...

The CSA C448 standard directs that the minimum depth is 4 feet; the former 445 standard required 2 feet. The objective is to install the loop as far below the frost line as possible. Many provinces require safety measures when a trench is more than six feet deep, so most contractors do not exceed that depth in order to reduce costs. See similar questions...
