    OR some routers have built in software to do it, if yours does, use that, however you most likely do not have the knowledge to do this. If you do, use your router, if you do not, use that program.

    it incredibly is 3 questions, i deserve 6 factors ;-) 0) All previous solutions are incorrect a million) You talk approximately (A)DSL vendors. The DSL technologies makes use of very useful modems which could combination many frequencies (view each of them as a separate channel) and likewise use incredibly severe frequencies, as lots by using fact the medium (the copper cord on your homestead) can transport. each frequency can transport greater or much less guidance, and the modem can use or not some frequencies. It does that for exemple to ward off those the place it detects interferences. Now, to decrease the fee, the ISP can setup the crucial modem to apply in basic terms an element of frequencies, or to transport in basic terms few bits on each physique. There would be some sturdy in it: the less bits transported, the greater the channel is loose from interferences, subsequently from blunders. 2) Why they fee greater: My ISP does not fee greater for greater suitable velocity. the fee is same, the fee relies upon in basic terms on the possibility of my telephone line (if I fairly have an prolonged line, the fee would be decrease by using fact longer lines decrease greater frequencies). some ISP fee greater by using fact the bigger velocity is an astounding reason to ask for extra money and a few people pays for it. it incredibly is all. it incredibly is in basic terms approximately business enterprise and opposition, the better velocity does not fee greater. 3) 8mB/50Mb there is an blunders, the ADSL technologies (regularly used for homestead customers) won't be able to attain such velocity (immediately?). - ADSL a million can attain as much as 8Mb - ADSL 2 can attain as much as 24Mb And this time, it incredibly is for technical motives. the present technologies won't be able to stuff greater suitable than that into the telephone line. FYI, appropriate to the fee of information superhighway, my information superhighway plan is: - 30euros/month, flat fee - velocity is the line's optimal (19600 Mb ATM astounding now) - one hundred+ television channels are coated - telephone calls (with a classic telephone, not a workstation) to land lines of my u . s . and 20+ remote places international places (u . s ., maximum europe, and so on.) are loose and limitless, coated interior the plan.
