ADSL is most often targeted at home and small business users. It is called asymmetric because more of its bandwidth is devoted in the downstream direction than in the upstream direction. The main reason for this is most Internet applications require high speed internet download bandwidth while user requests and responses are small and require little bandwidth. ADSL runs anywhere from 608Kbps to 1.5Mbps downstream and 128Kbps to 384Kbps upstream. It will service most all residential users and small-business users as well. For larger businesses or residential users who require large upstream bandwidth (in web hosting for example) and high speed internet downloads, a SDSL or T1 line connection would be a better solution.
