What are the advantages of ADSL over dialup and other types of connections?
The higher the frequency that is used to send a signal over a piece of wire, the faster the signal will degrade over distance. Because ADSL uses very high frequencies, there are limits over the distance that the signal can be reliably received. The 512Kbps ADSL services have a maximum range of 6 km.
