This means that the effective data throughput is limited to 64Kbps. Because most telephone circuits use one of the bits for network-management purposes, the actual data throughput shrinks to only 56Kbps. Communications between central offices and long-distance lines make use of more modern techniques, stacking multiple voice circuits on top of each other in 4KHz segments and sending them across high-capacity fiber-optic lines.
The Internet backbone is composed of similar high-capacity lines capable of extremely fast transmission of large amounts of data. The limiting factor for dial-up modems is the old, switched telephone network that sets the ceiling at 8, samples per second. Yet analog modems are limited to using only that first 4KHz of bandwidth on the copper wire the voice channel—which is why you can hear the squealing and clicking of modem communications if you pick up a voice line while a data connection is active.
And ordinary analog modems on a voice circuit may not achieve the highest rate for that modem. Because of noisy lines, and other interference, it is often the case that a modem connects to an ISP or another modem at a rate lower than the highest rated speed.
This is due to several factors, including attenuation of the signal as it travels down the copper wire and interference caused by signals from wires in a cable bundle interfering with other wires in the same bundle. One factor that may help you make a decision on which vendor to select is the availability of email accounts and USENET access.
However, email is usually a very important factor, and one that may be a deciding factor when it comes to making a decision about connecting to the Internet. You can always use another service on the Internet such as www. If your ISP limits you on email, consider using a third-party provider instead, and your own domain name.
The last feature, your own domain name, is an attractive feature if you really want to project a presence on the Internet. ADSL— Suited best for a home user or a small office where data requires a large download speed 1,Kbps to 8,Kbps and a slower upload speed 32Kbps to 1,Kbps.
ADSL can potentially reach up to 18, feet from the central office. The modems on this type of connection can test the line to determine what speed it will support. RADSL usually provides for a longer distance from the central office about 21, feet but provides for slower speeds.
Expect download speeds from Kbps to 7,Kbps. Typical upload speeds are from Kbps to 1,Kbps. Generally, you must be within 10, feet of the central office. Transmission rates depending, of course, on distance range from Kbps to 2,Kbps.
HDSL also gives you the same bandwidth for both directions. Traditional ADSL requires installing a splitter at the consumer premises, which effectively splits the lower voice-frequency channel from the higher frequencies used for digital transmission. There are still other xDSL technologies, but some are proprietary and the solution you end up choosing will depend on what your local provider offers.
Of course, the higher-rate services are going to cost more. Lite services can be an ideal solution for remote connections. Lucent and Nortel make telephone line cards that can be used in the central office which combine digital and voice functions.
One of the first drawbacks of getting DSL service is how it will be supported by the local telephone company. And it does get just a little more complicated. Both of these methods use frequencies that are well past the 4KHz voice channel, and because of this are called passband technologies.
Both voice and data can be carried on the same twisted-pair wires at the same time, operating in full-duplex mode. This separation helps to reduce the probability of one channel interfering with another.
The main difference between CAP and DMT is the way in which they use the higher frequencies on the ordinary copper wire pair. CAP uses two different carriers, a smaller frequency range for the upstream data and a larger frequency range for the downstream data path, as you can see in Figure CAP uses a small part of the frequencies above the voice channel for uploading data to the Internet, and a much larger range of frequencies for the downstream data path. CAP uses two ranges of frequencies, with the larger range used for the downstream path.
However, a drawback of CAP is that any noise on the line can easily cause the signal to become corrupted. To overcome this, CAP-based modems usually try to measure the line when they start up to determine the defects inherent in it.
The modems then try to use equalizers to create mirror images of the line distortion that can be used to clean up the signal. However, as you can see in Figure Each channel is called a bin. DMT creates multiple channels in the upper-frequency range and assigns them for upstream or downstream communication.
DMT can monitor each channel to determine which ones are having problems with interference, and not use those small segments of the available frequency range, or use the troublesome bins for a lower rate of data transmission.
Bins in the lower frequency range are used for the upstream data path, and those in the higher frequency ranges are used for the downstream data path. DMT constantly monitors each bin and adjusts their use depending on performance. Bins in the lower frequency range also can be used as bidirectional communication channels. If this is done, echo-canceling circuitry is necessary, making DMT a more expensive technology.
However, a lot of equipment using CAP has been installed in the past and can continue to have a useful life for some years to come.
When it comes to choosing a provider, you might not have many choices in your area. You might have to take what you can get—if you can get it. You might be located too far from the central office to make DSL a solution for your home or small-business connection. Or the building in which you are located might have been wired years ago and contain a lot of bridge taps and deteriorating cables.
Of course, your best protection against changing standards is to use service providers that include the DSL equipment with the DSL service.
That is, you click the mouse button on a link and then wait for a large download of data to your computer. Most Internet Web page communication for the home user involves a minor amount of data being sent upstream to the Internet, with a large amount of data being sent downstream to the computer in response to the request.
With multimedia applications, such as streaming audio and video, the large data pipe that ADSL provides will make the Internet appear to be lightning fast to a home user, or a business user performing research. However, the opposite is not true. If you are a business customer, you may be able to get a business class of service that includes a faster upstream link and a static IP address.
Because of its dynamic nature, a client may acquire a different address if it disconnects and then reconnects later.
This is because the DHCP server may have reused the older address and it has been assigned to another client. Instead, use a service provider to host your Web page, and use your DSL link to manage the website. If a business has users who work from home, ADSL might be a good way to establish connectivity back to the main office through the Internet.
For example, a help-desk technician can use the voice channel on the telephone line to take customer help calls. Another aspect to examine for this type of service is a work-from-home user who needs to download larger amounts of data to work with, and then upload the changes. Using the fast download provided by ADSL, graphic files, programming files, and so on can be obtained quickly.
