Q1: How is giga broadband different from other broadband?

giga broadband is different from other broadband due to its symmetrical uploading and downloading speed.  Other broadband uploading speed is much smaller than the downloading speed.  The deployment of giga broadband is faster since it can interoperate with existing technologies and the connectivity speed can be up to 54 Mbps.

Q2:  What do I need to get connected?

Customer needs a computer with any Win32® Operating System (OS) - Windows® 95, Windows 982, Windows 98SE2, Windows 2000, Windows ME2, Windows XP or later version.

The wireless service should have PCs or laptops with wireless cards.

The wired service only needs a normal LAN card that supports 802.11 b/g standard.

Q3:  What can you do with giga broadband?

There are many exciting things that giga broadband can empower you todo and they are:

1. Sending and receiving very large data transfer (CAD, graphic design, engineering, architecture, medical imaging etc.)
2. Voice over broadband
3. Video conferencing
4. Downloading photos & MP3s
5. Streaming full length movie (DVD quality)
6. Streaming music video clips
7. Immersing in online gaming

Q4:  What is VDSL?

VDSL stands for Very High Bit Digital Subscriber Line.  VDSL is the latest and more efficient DSL technology base on open standards, which offers flexibility.

VDSL operates over the copper wires in the phone line in much the same way that ADSL does, but there are a couple of distinctions.  VDSL can achieve incredible speeds, as high as a total of 54 Mbps with 27 Mbps downstream (to subscribers) and 27 Mbps upstream ( from subscribers).  That is much faster than ADSL, which provides up to 8 Mbps downstream and 800 Kbps upstream.

Q5:  What is DSL?

A standard telephone installation in Malaysia consists of a pair of copper wires that the telephone company installs in your home.  A pair of copper wires has plenty of bandwidth for carrying data in addition to voice conversations.  Voice signals use only a fraction of the available capacity on the wires.  DSL exploits this remaining capacity to carry information on the wire without disturbing the line’s ability to carry conversations.

Standard phone service limits the frequencies that the switches, telephones and other equipment can carry.  Human voices, speaking in normal conversational tone, can be carried in a frequency range of 400 to 3,400 Hertz (cycles per second).  In most cases, the wires themselves have the potential to handle frequencies of up to several-million Hertz.  Modern equipment that sends digital (rather than analog) data can safely use much more of the telephone line’s capacity and DSL does just that.
