TERM DEFINITION
AnalogThe direct representation of a waveform, as opposed to digital which is a coded representation. An analogue signal is one that varies continuously (e.g. Sound waves). Analogue signals vary along two parameters, amplitude (strength) and frequency (tone). The unit of measurement is the Hertz, or cycle per second.


Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL)Utilises a technology that transforms a normal telephone line into a high-speed digital line that enables access to telephony services and the Internet at the same time. ADSL provides always-on access to Internet or TV and Video on-demand services at speeds that are 10 to 40 times faster than a standard 56k modem. An ADSL line has a higher downstream speed (into the end user) than upstream speed (away from the end user).
