Imagine Broadband can provide both asynchronous and synchronous transfer of data – what does this mean?

This means that data is transferred either at varying speeds as in the case of an asynchronous transfer or at the same speed up-stream as down-stream as in the case of synchronous. The synchronous is in contrast to DSL where the up-stream speed is typically only one quarter that of the downstream speed. Apart from facilitating faster transfer of files, synchronous service also facilitates multimedia services including video conferencing.
