ArmInfo. ArmenTel introduces a new standard of ADSL communication
with a speed of up to 24 Mbit/sec, Director General of ArmenTel
Igor Klimko told journalists. According to him, thanks to a number
of applied innovations, the maximal speed of data transmission by
ADSL technology inside ArmenTel network will now be 12 Mb/sec, and by
the standard ADSL 2+ – twice as much – 24 Mb/sec. The maximal speed
of not only downloaded, but also uploaded data will be increased –
from 1 to 2 Mb/sec.

Klimko recalled that with all its advantages, including unrestricted
mobility, the mobile internet has no constant speed of communication.

"Each user of USB-modem should understand that in case of transmission
of data via the mobile network the speed changes depending on the
distance of the base station, as well as on the number of subscribers
using internet from this base station at the given moment. Therefore,
I think, all those needing internet at a specific place – at home or
at work – will choose ADSL, and will choose ours",- Klimko said.

He also pointed out that now most of the tariffs for connection by
USB-modem doesn’t envisage unlimited communication at the maximal
speed – after consuming certain volume this speed falls, unlike
ADSL-communication. "As you see, we envisage no liabilities for
subscribers buying a modem for a certain period of time. We think
that a client should have freedom of choice both between services of
different operators and between different services of one operator",-
Klimko said.
