What is SDSL and who should have it?
SDSL stands for Synchronous Digital Subscriber Line. This simply means that the upload and download speeds are the same. (For example, 128K up and 128K down) SDSL lines use standard copper pair telephone lines like ADSL circuits do, but SDSL lines are ‘conditioned’ (meaning seperated from any other wiring from the central office all the way to your location) and dedicated to data. These SDSL lines do NOT share the line with any voice circuits so they tend to be more stable, consistent in bandwidth speeds, and are easier to troubleshoot when problems arise. SDSL lines can reach much higher upload speeds than ADSL lines can on uploads since they are equally fast in both directions. If you want to share your high-speed connection over a network of computers, can’t afford a great deal of downtime on your internet connection but can’t afford full or fractional T circuits, want to host your own website on inexpensive bandwidth, or are a home user that is into online games, SDSL is the right
