The latest…The fastest: VDSL broadband!!

The internal dynamics of broadband technology is such that newer versions keep poping up at frequent intervals and with time this interval is getting shorter. Keeping up with this tradition we now have VDSL broadband.

VDSL (very high bit rate digital subscriber line) broadband offers an incredible speed of 50 Mbps that’s at least 5 times the speed offered by an ADSL connection. But how does VDSL achieve such great speeds? Let’s take a look.

Like other DSL technologies VDSL is also distance sensitive, that’s why if applied in conventional way would not be effective in distances greater than a few thousand feet’s, so to overcome this disadvantage VDSL technology stresses on the use of high speed optical fiber to the maximum possible extent, so figuratively we would have optical fiber right up to the phone junction in our locality from where our individual copper line branches out.

Additionally VDSL uses two components VDSL transreciever & VDSL gateway, these hardware components with help from the optical cable amplify the signals received from the Base Exchange and the end result is never seen before speeds!
Such high speeds would open up a lot of new avenues in the field of home entertainment, on demand video and live television would now become mass appeal realities.

But as of now VDSL is not emerging as a mass appeal technology mainly because the infrastructure costs involved is very high, as laying of optical fiber being mandatory! That’s why for an intelligent user an ADSL connection from a reliable broadband service provider is still the best bet!

VDSL might be the future, but an ADSL broadband connection is surely the present!!
