Question

The limit for ADSL service is

• A. 800 Feet
• B. 10,000 Feet
• C. 18,000 Feet
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 18,000 Feet

• ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) has a physical distance limitation of approximately 18,000 feet (or about 5.5 kilometers) from the telephone exchange.

• Beyond this distance, the signal quality degrades significantly, affecting internet connection speeds and reliability.

• It's asymmetric, meaning download speeds are faster than upload speeds (as shown in one of the similar questions on the page)

• ADSL uses existing telephone lines to provide broadband internet access

• The closer you are to the telephone exchange, the better your connection quality and speed will be

• The 18,000 feet limitation is one reason why some rural areas have difficulty getting reliable high-speed internet through ADSL technology
