Digital subscriber line (DSL; originally digital subscriber loop) is a family of technologies that are used to transmit digital data over telephone lines. [1] In telecommunications marketing, the term DSL is widely understood to mean asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL), the most commonly installed DSL technology, for Internet access.
Most DSL routers are designed to be installed by the customer for which a CD or DVD containing an installation program is supplied. The program may also activate the DSL service. Upon powering the router it may take several minutes for the local network and DSL link to initialize, usually indicated by the status lights turning green.
A gateway is commonly used to make an ADSL connection. Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) is a type of digital subscriber line (DSL) technology, a data communications technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone lines than a conventional voiceband modem can provide.
Very high-speed digital subscriber line (VDSL) [1] and very high-speed digital subscriber line 2 (VDSL2) [2] are digital subscriber line (DSL) technologies providing data transmission faster than the earlier standards of asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) G.992.1, G.992.3 (ADSL2) and G.992.5 (ADSL2+).
High-bit-rate digital subscriber line (HDSL) is a telecommunications protocol standardized in 1994. [1] It was the first digital subscriber line (DSL) technology to use a higher frequency spectrum over copper, twisted pair cables.
The term “broadband” refers to a high-speed internet connection that uses a satellite, digital subscriber line or cable connection for data transmission. A broadband connection is usually a lot faster than a dial-up connection and allows you to browse the web and download videos, music and games much more quickly.
A symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL) is a digital subscriber line (DSL) that transmits digital data over the copper wires of the telephone network, where the bandwidth in the downstream direction, from the network to the subscriber, is identical to the bandwidth in the upstream direction, from the subscriber to the network.
