SDSL Coverage and Speeds

SDSL broadband services are available to customers within a limited distance from their local exchange. Every telephone exchange on the Island is enabled for SDSL services.

Like ADSL Broadband, SDSL is a technology with limited reach and is dependent on the strength of signal being received from the local exchange.  The signal strength leaving the exchange depreciates as it travels down the line and, as a guide, the information below provides an indication of the speeds available and the distances over which they can be supplied.

SDSL bandwidth is distance dependent typically:
