There is also the option of different contentions up to and including our premium uncontended service.

Technical Overview

ADSL is an asymmetric service because it moves downloaded data more quickly than uploaded data. This means that even though you may have a 2Mb ADSL service you can only upload, or send back to the internet at 256Kb. Some applications are not suitable for use on ADSL.

ADSL Max and ADSL2+ are variants of ADSL which offer higher download and upload speeds.

Annex M is an SDSL service delivered on an ADSL link, with 512kb, 1Mb and 2Mb synchronous connections. There is also the option to prioritise 200kb to guarantee voice quality if you will be using your connection for both voice and data.

SDSL provides a permanent connection to the internet utilising a dedicated connection between your premises and the local exchange. SDSL is a business performance service and offers the same performance and service levels as more expensive leased lines.
