SDSL Overview
SDSL is an advanced form of DSL technology, offering Symmetric data transfer - the same downstream and upstream speeds, unlike ADSL which provides faster download than upload speeds. SDSL is therefore suitable for those companies wishing to send large amounts of data or host internal data or applications requiring fast remote access.

SDSL provides significant cost savings over traditional Leased Line services while providing similar symmetric data rates.

Our superior network connectivity and infrastructure affords our clients unparalleled quality for their broadband connectivity. All broadband network infrastructure is monitored 24/7 to ensure that your business and the applications on which it relies keep working 365 days a year. Please review our in depth broadband FAQ here or read below for the main features.
