CityStar® DSL Questions and Answers

What is DSL?
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a technology for bringing high-bandwidth information to homes and small businesses over ordinary copper telephone lines. Digital data is transmitted to your computer directly as digital data instead of being modulated by a modem, and this allows the phone company to use a much wider bandwidth for transmitting it to you.
