copper wire telephone lines to enable broadband high-speed digital data transmission and bandwidth hungry
applications for business and residential customers.
ADSL routers and modems provide faster downloads and more reliable connectivity to the user without loss of quality
or disruption of voice/fax telephone capabilities.
ADSL service operates at speeds of up to 8 Mbps downstream and up to 640 Kbps upstream. A secure dedicated point-
