DSL



 

WHAT IS DSL?

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a service that offers a faster Internet connection than a standard dial-up connection. DSL technology uses existing 2-wire copper telephone wiring to deliver high-speed data services to homes and businesses. DSL works by using more of the capacity of the phone line. Voice and traditional modems work by modulating a signal in a limited range of frequencies (thousands of cycles); broadband sends a digital signal over a wide frequency (millions of cycles).

DSL uses the existing phone line and in most cases does not require an additional phone line. This gives "always-on" Internet access and does not tie up the phone line. No more busy signals, no more dropped connections, no more waiting for someone in the household to get off the phone.

Downloads may be as high as 7 megabits, or 35 times as fast as a 56k modems. At home or at the office, DSL gives you great data transmission speed for a reasonable price.
