Teleworkers seek faster connections

NEW YORK -- Those who telecommute or work remotely are thirsting for faster modem connections to the office and the Internet. The problem is finding a company to provide the service.

"The phone companies need to hurry up to provide ADSL," said analyst Shizue Shimbo Davis at Walsh-Lowe and Associates, Inc., a telecommunications consultancy in Hoboken, N.J., in a speech to network managers at the Communications Managers Association fall meeting here recently.

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology is one of several types of DSL technologies that offer faster bandwidth over a network; allow use of existing twisted-pair copper telephone lines for transmission; and don't require repeater devices to enhance performance. ADSL has been in development since 1993 but is only now beginning to be offered commercially on the West Coast by Pacific Bell in San Francisco. GTE Communications Corp. also announced deployment to residential users in Southern California beginning this week.
