Other Internet Connections
ADSL Worries
Undoubtedly the great hope for home Internet access some
businesses have considered ADSL.
Unreliable Access
ADSL is a shared service just like an ISP for dialup. As
more and more people log on connection speeds will fluctuate
and quality will suffer. On average a 2MB line will run with
20 people sharing, meaning an actual 100Kps connection speed.
As it really a home based service, ADSL comes with no service
level guarantee. If it fails, at it does regularly, theres
no comeback and you are just another number. Leased lines
offer 100% uptime guarantees, and a refund when it goes down
for any reason.
Limited Services
To make ADSL cheaper BT has restricted the amount of services
which can be run. Mail and other servers as well as large
departments will find the service extremely restrictive.
