DSL - A guide to implementing your own private DSL circuits in the UK

Implementing DSL in the U.K.

DSL or Digital Subscriber Line is a phrase often used today in association with high speed Internet access. The technical definition of DSL refers to driving high speed data over long lengths of copper cabling.

Private DSL circuits, that are in no way connected to the Internet, can be created between 2 sites using our DSL modems and the appropriate copper circuit from British Telecommunications or similar carrier.

These private DSL circuits enable you create mutli megabit pipes between your networks at greatly reduced costs when compared to traditional leased lines.

The copper circuits required are known as EPS-8 or EPS-9 circuits. The EPS-8 provides a two pairs of copper cabling between 2 sites and the EPS-9 provides a single pair. It must be noted that these circuits are only available if the 2 sites you wish to connect reside within the same exchange area.
