Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
Research Method
As ADSL is such a new technology it is not surprising that most of the research was done on the World Wide Web. Search Engines were queried and Forums were visited. There is a lot of information readily available on the internet and the whole team were busy gathering information and filtering the good from the bad. When the information was all downloaded it was time to sort it out into useable and not useable. The library was searched for a good technical book on ADSL, with this in hand it was easy to differentiate between factual information from the 'net and "exadurations" made by ISP's eager to sell their product. Also on one occasion a video lecture on ADSL was borrowed from the library.
The internet was indeed though the most beneficial source, and we would highly reccommend it in future use of any sort of technilogical research. It was essential, however, that the information integrity remained intact and this was achieved with the old fashioned techinical manual from the library. During the course of research, old sources and methods were mixed with new ones to produce a thorough and well rounded result.
