Digital Subscriber Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1356 words) |
 | DSL is the principal competition of cable modems for providing high speed Internet access to home consumers in Europe and North America. |
| DSL takes advantage of this unused bandwidth of the local loop by creating 4312.5 Hz wide channels starting between 10 and 100 kHz, depending on how the system is configured. |
| The commercial success of DSL and similar technologies largely reflects the fact that in recent decades, while electronics have been getting faster and cheaper, the cost of digging trenches in the ground for new cables (copper or fiber) remains expensive. |
| Howstuffworks "How DSL Works" (224 words) |
| DSL is a very high-speed connection that uses the same wires as a regular telephone line. |
| DSL doesn't necessarily require new wiring; it can use the phone line you already have. |
| A DSL connection works better when you are closer to the provider's central office. |
