ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is an access medium that provides the user with a broadband connection to Telkom's data network. The first service offered over ADSL is an always-available connection to the Internet. In the future Telkom will provide more value-add services over ADSL. Telkom does not guarantee any throughput speeds on an ADSL access line.

ADSL operates over the same pair of copper wires that are used for telephone service, and is provided only in conjunction with a telephone service. You can make and receive calls or send a fax and surf the Internet at the same time. Telkom's ADSL access service will offer you an always-available connection with no dial-up necessary, no more waiting to establish a connection and no more busy signals. You will not be billed for your connection time when you make use of Telkom's ADSL access service.
