Where is ADSL available?
TADAust Connect Broadband services are available to up to seventy five percent (75%) of Australian households, in every capital city and many regional centres With ADSL, voice and data can co-exist on one phone line. ADSL modems use digital coding techniques to squeeze up to 99% more capacity out of a phone line. To establish an ADSL service, the customer’s phone line is configured with ADSL hardware housed in the local telephone exchange. Located in the phone exchange is a device called a DSLAM that is used to consolidate traffic from individual ADSL connections into a backbone network that connects to core ISP network. Located in the customer’s business or home is the Customer Premises Equipment ( CPE ). This term describes a range of devices connecting the customer to an ADSL service. Included are filters, which are used to split the data signal into a voice and data channel, and a USB or Ethernet modem.
