1. What is SDSL?

Symmetric DSL is similar to ADSL with the added benefit of increased upload capability. SDSL permits the download and upload capacity of a connection to remain similar, unlike ADSL where there is a large, 2:1 ratio difference. With SDSL, companies with equal upload and download needs can benefit from the increased upload capacity.

2- What is the difference between SDSL and ADSL?

The major different between the two protocols is the bandwidth (capacity) allocated to the downstream (download) and upstream (upload) channels.

3. What is Aggregated DSL?

As a result you will have a Internet connection with 4.1Mb download and 1.9 Mb upload speed or faster connection depends what speed ADSL is installed.
