What is SDSL?

An SDSL (symmetric digital subscriber line) connection is essentially a line made from two copper wires which can reach as far as two miles. It provides customers with a dedicated service which does not share bandwidth with any other communication methods, and both sends and receives data at high speeds simultaneously.

Why do I need it?

SDSL lines are dedicated to data transfer, which could prove to be particularly useful for small and medium-sized businesses which require a large volume of information exchange. This can be invaluable for hosting internal websites as well as in maintaining email servers.

Is it fast?

Yes. An SDSL line fires data back and forth constantly, at a very fast transfer rate. This allows the service to achieve speeds up to four times faster than a traditional broadband provider. Also, the exclusivity of the line means that those who choose to take out a connection can enjoy high speeds without sharing bandwidth with other communications devices such as phones and fax machines.

How reliable is it?

A company with an SDSL line installed will enjoy a contention ratio of 10:1 - faster than a typical UK line. In addition, the exclusivity the line provides could give unwanted intruders fewer options should they attempt to infiltrate your network.

Does it provide good value?

You decide. Businesses across the UK, North America and Asia have chosen to install an SDSL line in order to ensure their internet connection is fast, reliable and secure. Cost-conscious small and medium-sized companies will also be pleased to hear that an SDSL service costs less than many traditional broadband deals. An SDSL line offers peace of mind when it comes to web hosting and email server maintenance, and gives the user the reassurance that their sensitive information is being looked after.
