BT ADSL Still Too Popular For SDSL
Posted: 16th May, 2003 By: MarkJ
BTs symmetric broadband SDSL (same speed both ways) service may face an uphill battle due to most businesses being content with their existing and cheaper ADSL connections:
He said: "We won't see a wholesale migration to SDSL in the short-term. There are some businesses where symmetric bandwidth is a requirement but many are finding ADSL gives them everything they want. For the majority that is a huge improvement."
Fifteen ISPs are involved in the SDSL pilot at 100 exchanges, which are located in mainly metropolitan areas including London, Manchester, Leeds and the West Midlands.
BT was responding to claims by virtual network provider Vanco that businesses are being put off lower-cost ADSL broadband services because of myths that symmetric bandwidth is needed.
The Silicon item notes BTs belief that, when it comes to cost, businesses rather pay less for ADSL and sacrifice contention and quality of service than buy into SDSL.
