DSL providers like AT&T Internet deliver broadband services using copper telephone lines. This is why DSL frequently comes through telecom corporations that also offer landline phone connections. DSL Internet is available for 76.40 percent of the area. copper DSL lines have limited capacity compared to fiber/cable infrastructure. The reason this matters is: reduced speeds. Sandusky's current average download speed is only 25.36 Mbps as a result, beneath the 128.24 Mbps state benchmark.
