How is it different?
Unlike standard phone lines, it allows multiple communications to travel simultaneously on a single line. So the speed of your communications dramatically increases - up to 128 Kbps, making it faster and easier for you to do business. Faster throughput may be achieved with appropriate equipment and compression software.
