Comment A is for ADSL A is for ADSL B is for BT B is for BT On the difference between LinkedIn and Facebook Dan Nye: LinkedIn and Facebook are very different services. LinkedIn is the world's leading professional network, Facebook is a social network.

Comment A is for ADSL A is for ADSL B is for BT B is for BT How Slicethepie works Courtier-Dutton: Essentially we turn every user on the website into a fully fledged record label. By fragmenting the music industry in that way we allow everybody to decide...

Comment A is for ADSL B is for BT Every year of my life seems to have been challenging for one reason or another. But I have always been able to stay ahead of the game and keep on top of technology and business.
[20 Dec 2007]
Comment In the domestic context, despite higher ADSL speeds, it is important to remember that contention means each user is only actually entitled to 40Kbps. What Skype calls do provide is a voice service over bandwidth that is much cheaper than bandwidth...
[17 Apr 2007]
Comment So instead of moving the UK rapidly towards end-to-end digitisation, BT left us with a largely analogue system beyond the exchanges that is only slowly giving way to ADSL. What can we expect from BT's next-generation network?
[17 Oct 2006]
Leader From now on, it will also sell an ADSL product as a loss leader. Today Wanadoo - as in Wanadoo UK, an arm of France Telecom's ISP business - launched a fairly broad broadband broadside against BT and the state of high-speed, always-on access in...
[27 Apr 2004]
Comment Of course increasing broadband speed is important, and the lack of investment beyond ADSL is lamentable ("'[r]eal' broadband will I suspect need a lot more digging up roads and laying of infrastructure", Young observes) but too often the demand...
[13 Apr 2004]
Comment If people in rural areas want broadband then there are alternatives to BT's ADSL. And that was rendered outdated when Thatcher privatised BT. Ah but, comes the argument, BT should be rolling out these services with subsidies from the government...
[18 Aug 2003]
Round-Up One of these city-dwelling spoilsports was probably silicon.com reader Simon Curry who believes having to pay for expensive alternatives to ADSL broadband should just be a natural downside of living in rural Britain, in the same way high property...
[15 Aug 2003]
Comment That's a whopping 300 per cent more expensive than getting ADSL for your home and the equivalent of buying a new PC every year. Take market leader BT Openzone. You've heard about free, 'guerrilla Wi-Fi' providers of wireless networks - you may even...
[19 May 2003]
Comment One concern that held me back was that ADSL broadband is absolutely controlled by BT. Now, although BT frequently offers a range of alternative pricing plans, whenever I have worked out the details, they all turn out to be almost exactly equivalent.
[13 May 2003]
Comment Most smaller organisations and home users (those who BT has deigned to connect, that is) are finding Asymmetrical DSL (ADSL) the most appropriate. A further strength of ADSL is that it is 'always-on' - there is no need to dial up to the internet.
[08 Nov 2002]
Comment The Local Heroes scheme (Click here: http://www.silicon.com/a56168 to read more) has a dual purpose - to speed up the roll out of ADSL, by streamlining the sign-up process which is vital for hitting 'trigger levels' of potential broadband users...
[29 Oct 2002]
Comment Korea boasts more nine million households - more than two thirds - with either ADSL or cable modem broadband connections - it's mostly seen as a consumer access technology, most businesses using leased lines - and the country is heralded as a...
[11 Oct 2002]
Comment But now we want to hear your examples of broadband madness and ADSL hell. In the UK the road to broadband happiness is littered with similar ironies - consider this response we received to a recent broadband story from silicon.com reader Simon...
[25 Sep 2002]
Comment It could go gung-ho and ADSL-enable every exchange in the country and wait for the pounds to trickle in. But if you were a shareholder, would you be happy with BT having no idea when it might see a return on such an investment?
[10 Sep 2002]
Comment After a poor start, the roll out of ADSL services in Europe is now racing ahead and, in some countries, installation rates have accelerated markedly. For some time, broadband cable services have often been priced below similar ADSL services, which...
[08 May 2002]
Comment BT announced its new, 'no frills' ADSL package for the second time on Wednesday (http://www.silicon.com/a52900 ). As his email to us reads, "I was authorised by our local parish council.to make enquiries of BT about ADSL provision in our local...
[25 Apr 2002]
Comment Domestic ADSL is based on 50 users contending for bandwidth but existing services are well below the design limit. This neglects the problem that nearly all the contenders are simply resellers of the basic BT service but leave that issue aside for...
[02 Apr 2002]
Comment But in Japan, Sarda says the number of ADSL subscribers has increased by 20 per cent in six months because of the work of a content-led, government-backed consortium. Sandip Sarda, a member of BT's original broadband taskforce back in the heady...
