Symmetric

Actually I didn’t want to talk about symmetric, the word was asymmetric. But because asymmetric is the opposite of symmetric, it had to be replaced on the title by the original word.

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL); almost everyone working on the internet know what ADSL is; the high speed of digital data transfer connection over an ordinary telephone line. But asymmetric; the annex A of ADSL, means something you may dislike. Actually, it means that the data transfer speed that are both incoming and outgoing are unequal (or uneven). So, the speed differs from downloading to uploading, but if you’re just an ordinary internet user, who probably download but never thought what does upload mean, you’ll not find this is an issue for you. Anyways, even if you upload, the upload speed of ADSL is not inconvenient for you, because it’s quite fast; at least, faster than your old dial-up connection.
