What is ADSL?
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a permanent, high-speed digital connection run on a standard analogue phone line. The installation of an ADSL modem and splitter in both the telephone exchange and on your premises converts the twisted copper pairs into a permanent high-speed digital connection to the net. It allows voice calls to be made on a standard telephone at the same time as accessing the Internet.

Demon's ADSL service provides you with:
• 24-hour fixed connection
• A fixed IP address denoting your own distinct presence on the net
• Instant access to email and web
• Fixed rate unmetered internet access from Demon
• Simultaneous internet and phone usage

ADSL is a contended service, which means you will share the available bandwidth with a number of other users. This will affect the amount of bandwidth available to you dependent on the number of other users online at any given time. The contention ratio for business use will be 20:1, meaning up to 19 other users will share your bandwidth.

What are the benefits?
• Permanent access to the Internet allows your business to be in constant communication with your customers and business partners
• Fast, reliable service gives your business the power to sharpen its competitive edge
• High bandwidth capability enables you to rapidly transfer large documents and download software, maximising your investment in IT
• Network capability provides fast multiple user access boosting employee productivity
• Simultaneous access to the internet and telephone or fax line increases your business efficiency
• Unmetered Internet access allows more effective budgetary control

Where is it available?
ADSL is currently available in limited geographical areas, which will expand as BT equips more exchanges. Please contact Demon Business Sales or check the current availability of ADSL in your area click here
