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.
