Can DSL handle success?

Over subscription term may not be correct in this context: Over subscription in the telecom industry usually refers to voice phone networks where it is not uncommon to have many more customers than the phone companies has the resources (ports on a switch) to service at any given moment, ratios of 10:1 are not uncommon. It usually doesn't effect your service because only in the rarest occasions does EVERYONE want to use the phone at the same time. DSL on the other hand is a 1:1 service as far as your connection to the central office is concerned because it doesn't use the switch, you cannot over subscribe DSL with respect to the number of connections that are allowed at any given time.; Posted by: balsover Posted on: 02/06/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
