Digital Subscriber

|
| DSL, which stands for Digital Subscriber
Line, provides high-speed Internet Access using regular telephone
lines. It has the ability to move data over the phone lines
at speeds up to 6Mb/s or six million bits per second, or 140
times quicker than the fastest analog modems available today
(56,000 bits per second). |
| |
| In addition to its very high speed,
DSL has many benefits over analog connections. Unlike dial-up
connections that require analog modems to "dial-in" to the Internet
Service Provider every time the user wants to retrieve e-mail
or obtain access to the Internet, DSL connections are always
on. That means no more logging on and off, no more busy signals
and no more waiting for the connection to happen - it's always
there! Another benefit is the ability to use the telephone at
the same time you're accessing the Internet; you don't have
to choose between the two. |
