ADSL

Telecom Egypt's subsidiary TE Data accounted for the largest share of ADSL users, with over 75% of the market.

In developing their ADSL equipment, modem manufacturers, chipset developments, and a number of other organizations require a comprehensive understanding on how that technology will function alongside other ADSL products in terms of data transmission speeds and processing errors.

ADSL remains the prevailing fixed broadband technology in the Arab World.

Along with the cut on ADSL rates, Chunghwa also raised free access to WiFi service for mobile-phone subscribers to 60 hours a month, double the original level.

The AR-7211A/B ADSL router is able to run at speeds of up to 24Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream, providing higher data rates than traditional ADSL systems.

Iraq and Lebanon have the highest ADSL fees, while Morocco and Egypt have the lowest fees.

Existing dial-up customers can as well benefit from this fresh offer when upgrading to any of the business ADSL packages.

One of the business benefits of ADSL is the constant live internet connection it offers.

According to the company, GoVoIP enables customers to make voice calls over an ADSL connection.
