Digital Subscriber Line is the next generation modem-like technology that allows for the transmission of voice, video and data over existing copper telephone lines at incredible megabit speeds. The copper telephone lines are often referred to as the local loop or the last mile from the telephone company's central office to the end-user's home or business.
DSL provides dedicated bandwidth that can be up to 278 times faster than a 28.8 Kbps modem, 143 times faster than 56Kbps modem, 62 times faster than ISDN and up to 4 times faster than a T1 connection. That's really fast!
Even better, DSL uses your ordinary phone line but doesn't tie it up -- you can access the Internet while you are using the same line for conversation or faxing. In addition, you stay connected -- there's no dialing up or waiting for busy signals.
