 Partnered
with leading broadband Internet Service Provider, Safemode is
the authorised dealer of TPG ADSL2+ Broadband Internet and
Bigpond Broadband and Wireless Broadband Internet.
There are two popular types of
Broadband Internet in Australia: DSL and Cable.
ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. It is
a Broadband connection that works over an existing phone line,
yet still leaves it available for normal analogue (voice) use.
ADSL connection is permanent, there is no need for disconnection
and reconnection everytime you use Internet.
-
ADSL goes up to 8mbs up to
around 4.5km - 6km from the Exchange.
-
ADSL2 is a variation on the
current ADSL standard that can go up to 12mbs up to around
7km from the Exchange.
-
ADSL2+ can go up to 24mbs within
1.5km of the Exchange and about half of that beyond that
distance.
CABLE broadband Internet is
delivered on the unused bandwidth of the cable television
network. While cable is faster than ADSL, the connection speed
depends on the number of active users (television and Internet)
in the same area.
