ADSL – stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line – a broadband service (digital) that’s carried on normal copper phone wires. It uses a higher frequency spectrum than voice traffic, which is why it doesn’t interfere with your phone calls, even though they share the same line. It’s called ‘asymmetric’ because it’s configured so that downloads will go faster than uploads. Now you must be wondering how it is possible for Telstra to offer a 512/512Kbps plan. We have taken a high speed connection, which we slowed down to 512Kbps on the way down and ramped up the upload speed to 512Kbps. The connection is still an asymmetric connection. BDSL – stands for Business Digital Subscriber Line. From a technology viewpoint, it is actually known as SHDSL. The main difference between BDSL and ADSL is that this service sits on a separate business grade network providing guaranteed speed and throughput. It also provides the same speeds both upstream and downstream across all speed options. Domain name – or sometimes referred to as a website, is a unique name that identifies a website. Similar to a street address – it allows others to identify and locate you easily on the Internet, eg www.yourbusinessname.com is a domain name. Download/Upload – downloading is anything that you bring onto your computer from the Internet. Uploading is the opposite process where you are uploading any piece of data that goes from your computer to the Internet. Examples include an email attachment, the actual email, every click on a web link, keystrokes when you complete a form online, file transfer and so on. You can track your usage online via ‘Custdata’ and you can set-up the service to provide weekly updates on your usage via email. What’s more, you can change your plan as your needs evolve. Speed – most Internet providers, including Telstra, rate broadband plan speeds in kilobits per second (eg 256/512Kbps) to describe how fast the Internet is. The higher the number, the faster the service. Static IP address – gives your computer a fixed address on the Internet (like a phone number). The computer uses the same IP address every time it connects to the network. It is required when you want other people to find your business on the Internet. For example, a static IP address allows your company to host a web page and allows for your employees to remotely access files when they are away from the office.
