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.

What is DSL? DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line: A technology that dramatically increases the digital capacity of ordinary telephone lines (the local loops) into the home or office. DSL speeds are very much tied to the distance between the customer and the telephone company central office. The technology is geared to Internet access with its asymmetric versions (faster downloads than uploads) and short haul connections with symmetric versions (same rate coming and going). Unlike ISDN, which is also digital but travels through the switched telephone network, DSL provides "always-on" operation. At the telephone company central office, DSL traffic is aggregated in a unit called the DSL Access Multiplexor (DSLAM) and forwarded to the appropriate ISP or data network.
