Tips & Warnings
The ADSL subscription is more suitable with home requirements as it gives a higher data transfer rate for downloading from the Internet that is normally the prime necessity in homes than for uploading,
The SDSL provides a high transfer rate for both downloading as well as uploading. As surveillance DVRs continuously streams live video feeds through a series of cameras, they require this type of subscription.
Ensure that you procure a static IP address. A dynamic IP address will mean checking it each time you want to log in online, which may prove quite confusing.
