What is the maximum speed of ADSL

From EDPnet Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

ADSL is a technology where an electrical signal is transmitted over a (copper) telephony cable. These signals are very sensitive to attenuation and noise. These will influence the speed of your DSL connection, and manifest themselves in several causes:

  • The distance of your point of connection up to the local Belgacom Exchange ;
  • The quality of your internal cabling;
  • The quality of the physical line (thickness, age, insulation, ...);
  • The type of telephony subscription (PSTN, ISDN or raw copper).


Even though all these factors have a strong influence, the distance of your connection will be the main indicator of the maximum speed your connection will be able to achieve.
