Verizon DSL opens up the wide world of bandwidth for your ISP customers.

ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is one of the most popular acronyms in telecommunications today. This technology provides high speed data access over a single pair of ordinary telephone wires utilizing the unused portion of the frequency spectrum in POTS (plain old telephone service). The service is termed asymmetric because the downstream speeds from the central office to the home are much greater than the upstream speeds, from the home to the central office. Accordingly, it is perfect for Internet access where typically small packets are sent into the web in order to retrieve large amounts of information from the web. ADSL technology is distance sensitive, therefore the local loop length determines the maximum speed (e.g. bandwidth) of the ADSL service to the end user. The Loop Qualification process identifies the distance from Verizon's Local Serving Offices to the subscriber's home at which the maximum speed of the particular tier can be achieved. Since other line conditions besides loop length can also have an impact on speed, the DSL service is able to adjust itself downward until the customer's ADSL modem can synchronize with the Local Service Office equipment. To ensure that these conditions do not cause an end user's service to adjust downward too far, Verizon maintains internal minimum speed standards for higher speed packages. In this way, we can assure the customer that they are achieving speeds well in excess of the next lower tier. When Verizon sells the service, we also make sure the customer understands that the Infospeed DSL service is a "best effort" service and that the throughput achieved may be affected by many factors, such as Internet congestion. Verizon DSL provides your customers with access speeds from 22 to 246 times faster than a typical 28.8 modem.
