Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Internet is a form of Internet commonly used today by taking advantage of existing telephone infrastructure lines and manipulating them so that a wire not only transmits voice, but also data. The technique has exploded in popularity and competes directly against cable Internet subscriptions. It is most popularly known by its ADSL version (the ‘A’ standing for ‘Aysmmetric’) but in fact a customer seeking DSL services today has many more options. The difference between the various versions of DSL lies in speed and quality. Since the DSL technology is not flawless (unfortunately, as with many other inventions we come across), improvements are continuously made to overcome the frustrations and barriers that get in the way of connection’s smooth flow. Thus, there are now approximately 13 DSL standards.
Getting in the way of a DSL connection can include the following:
A phone line made of bad quality copper. There may not be much you can do about this one.
An Internet Service Provider with bad service. Some are just better than others, and often you pay more to get more.
Remoteness of destination. If you, or your computer, lives in the middle of nowhere, expect that the quality of your DSL will eventually deteriorate as it huffs and puffs to make it to the finish line (i.e. your router).
A wireless connection that just isn’t happenin’. Often the connection is blamed, when in fact it’s the wireless router that’s not sending signals fast enough, thus rendering your high-speed Internet useless.
Software, often the uninvited kind. This is usually not your fault, but you can help it by regularly cleaning your computer of stuff that you never meant to download, but got downloaded anyway because you got tricked into it by some hacker, and never found out. These programs are called ‘Spyware’ and eat your bandwidth speeds like a worm in your tummy.
In some of these instances it’s possible to take reasonable action (for example, switching providers), whereas in others you’ll just have to live with what you’ve got. What you can do is equip yourself with the right knowledge to know what you’re buying when you chose a DSL service and what “speed” will really mean to you. So, when an Internet Service Provider (ISP) advertises such and such speeds for paying for their services, keep in mind the following:
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL)) is the most commonly offered service. The ‘Asymmetric’ part of the title means that speeds going one way are not equal to speeds going another way. In other words, downloading is always going to be faster than uploading. Downloading includes activities such as viewing Web sites, checking e-mail, streaming audio or video and basically anything where another server needs to send information to you. Uploading is a mirror activity of downloading and happens every time you send information to another computer. For example, sending an e-mail would be considered uploading. ADSL is a typical service offered to home-based users. Usually, when ISPs advertise their bandwidth speeds they leave out the ’small print’ about the significantly slower upload rates. But in most cases, you should be able to find out both numbers.
Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line (SDSL) is a service where both download and upload speeds are equal in bandwidth. SDSL is gaining popularity in Europe, but at this point in North America it remains an expensive alternative to ADSL, despite the demand. A business would benefit greatly from SDSL when considering file sharing among computers in a network and using a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to upload files to a server. When running one’s own Web site, uploading speeds may be more critical than downloading speeds since the server’s primary function would be consistently feed out data.
Fiber lines are for the really serious players that demand high speeds going both ways. In essence, paying for a personal fiber line means no one shares the connection that goes all the way from the ISP to your router - no one. The installation, not to mention subscription rates of a fiber line could cost thousands.
There are alternatives when SDSL or owning your own fiber is not an option within reach. Information Technology (IT) companies are able to get creative when they need to find a way to do more with less. When high costs are out of the question for its clients, some may offer the option of combining multiple ADSL lines together to achieve both a higher upload and download rate. Marketing principles tend to limit user upload speeds so that businesses that need the extra bandwidth will be willing to pay for it. In areas where monopolies rule, it may be hard to find competitive Internet service options, but it’s not impossible. Keep your eye on the lookout.

Recently it’s become difficult to open a newspaper or turn on the TV without hearing about the latest, cheapest and best broadband package from the UK’s growing number of broadband providers. When each Internet Service Provider (ISP) claims to provide the best broadband package it’s difficult to select the most suitable option.
There a number of different criteria you should consider before signing up with a new broadband provider; here we look at what you should consider when you compare broadband packages.
So who needs broadband?
If you want to access the internet at a decent speed, download music, films, play online games or use internet phone (VoIP) then you should strongly consider getting broadband. If you intend to use your broadband connection for a number of these activities then you need to consider download limits.
If you only intend to use your internet connection for surfing the web and sending the occasional email high download limits and speed should not be a major concern. If you fall into this category price, level of customer service and reliability of connection should be taken into consideration.
It’s worth looking at the freebies included in broadband packages such as those offering free wireless broadband as part of the subscription. Down loading music, games, films, video clips, playing online games, and the use of internet phone services such as Skype, Vonage and Demon all require data to be downloaded. The more you use your broadband connection for these activities the greater the download limit you will require. For users who are heavy down loaders an unlimited broadband package is the best option as these set no limit on your monthly downloads.
So what about broadband speed?
Download speed is the rate with which data is transferred from the internet to your computer. Download speed is measured in megabits per second, commonly abbreviated to Mb. Broadband speeds on offer can vary greatly; it is currently available from 512k (0.5Mb) to 22Mb. A 512k connection is still 10 times faster than dial up and will be fine when generally surfing the net and sending emails. However, if you like downloading lots of music or video and playing games online, you might want to consider a faster connection. In general, a 1 or 2Mb connection will offer you the best balance between performance and price and will be more than adequate for the vast majority of broadband users.
Should you go Wireless?
Wireless broadband has a number of advantages and is now offered as a freebie with some UK broadband providers. Wireless broadband will allow you to access your broadband connection from any where in close proximity of your wireless router (the device enabling your connection to be wireless). Unless you live in a small castle this should allow you to access broadband anywhere within your home. A further advantage of wireless broadband is that you can share the connection between multiple computers within the household though you will be splitting the speed of connection by doing so and you are likely to require a higher download limit if a number of people are accessing the connection. An additional consideration, and one that is surprisingly often ignored, is to remember to add a password to your connection if you chose wireless broadband. Importantly this will stop other people, perhaps neighbours, using your broadband connection which presents a security risk and will affect the performance of your broadband connection.
A final consideration should be security measures
It is highly advisable to purchase an antivirus package to protect your computer and avoid falling victim to online fraud. A firewall will offer further protection. Different levels of security are offered with different packages, these include parental controls, antivirus software and firewalls, some broadband packages will include all 3 as part of package.

So the iPhone works on EDGE networks. But what does this mean and is it good enough?
The iPhone has been designed to work on GPRS, EDGE and Wi-Fi networks but doesn’t include 3G support. Apple has stated this has to do with the power requirements of the 3G chip.
EDGE provides higher download speeds than the 2G network and GPRS (2.5G) but less than what can be achieved with Wi-Fi and 3G. and it has been labeled 2.75G.
The coverage of the EDGE networks around the world is very sparse, some places only 10s of percent actually. And that is disappointing numbers and not good news for the users of iPhone.
Trying to talk up the iPhone’s Wi-Fi compatibility and its deals for free hotspot are not doing the trick either.
EDGE is the existing standard for GSM data networks. GSM is a direct rival to CDMA. In the US, Cingular is the largest GSM provider.
EDGE offers service rated at about quarter Mb/sec. That’s about twice the speed of ISDN (.128 MB/sec), but significantly slower than even the slowest offerings of DSL (.3 to 1.5 Mb/sec), and a fraction of the throughput of 802.11b WiFi (typical: 6.5 Mb/sec).
EDGE is far faster than GPRS or old dialup networks however (both are about .03 Mb/sec), so while EDGE not capable of supporting iChat style video conferencing, it is useful enough to browse web pages, receive HTML emails, and support the other web service features demonstrated on the iPhone such as Google Maps.
EDGE is also widely deployed in the US. Newer generation technologies, including HSUPA and EVDO, are not. If the iPhone supported newer networks at launch, it would offer users less data service coverage at higher service fees. HSUPA does promise a future path for faster data, and will no doubt unlock new applications for future phones.
Along with the confusing acronym soup of HSDPA and HSOPA, HPUPA competes against other mobile 3G standards. Wikipedia says the next set of standards are edging out existing CDMA2000 and EVDO rollouts in some markets.
In addition to the factors of availability and cost, another reason for Apple going with EDGE rather than a faster network is that the iPhone won’t have to rely solely on mobile phone networks for data. It’s designed to use WiFi wherever it’s available.
WiFi is far faster than any mobile networks now in place, including EVDO and HSUPA (2.5 - 5.76 Mb/sec). Typical 802.11b and g offer 6.5 Mb/sec and 20 Mb/sec transfers. WiFi is so much faster because it is designed to serve a much smaller range of local service.
For iPhone users in a school, home, or office with existing WiFi service, automatic use of WiFi for data service will not only be far faster, but far cheaper: free in many cases.
Getting EDGE to work on your iPhone is simple, but require some knowledge about application set up in your iPhone.
You will need iBrickr to browse the file system of your iPhone (www.ibrikr.com)
There is a video turorial available for iBrickr if you want to learn how to use this system (www.i4u.com/article11028.html)
Once you have downloaded the iBrickr and the PXL files installed on your iPHone, you can launch iBrickr.exe. You will be able to see the main interface and click on files to browse your phone file system.
Locate your /private/var/root
Launch notepad and paste this code;
Function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
If (isInNet (myIpAddress(), “10.0.0.0”,
“255.0.0.0”))
Return “PROXY 216.155.165.50:808”;
Else
Return “DIRECT”
}
Save the file as proxy.pac and upload it to /private/var/root
Right click this file and select “save link as”, you need to save the file as
Preference.plist, you will then upload preference.plist into the following iPhone directory:
/private/var/root/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
NOTE! If you are on firmware 1.1.3, upload the preferences.plist to this directory;
/private/var/preferences/SystemConfiguration
This will overwrite the current file that is already in that directory.
Now grab your iPhone and tap settings – General – Network – EDGE. The APN you will use is wap.voicestream.com, username and password will be guest. Reboot your iPhone and there you are, you should be able to browsw online using EDGE.
NB! After performing this hack you will notice that EDGE will interfere with your WIFI connections whenever it sees it. IF this happens to you, there is a solution for this as well.
Click on the Browse Application button, this will launch a list of 3rd party applications you can install at your will. For our purpose we will install an application called Services. Basically what this does is allow you to turn off the WiFi, Bluetooth and EDGE according to your needs.
Once you are done with the installation, iPhone will reboot and on your Springboard you should see a Services icon, tap on the icon and here you can toggle between EDGE and WiFi connection.
