A family of digital telecommunications protocols designed to allow high speed data communication over the existing copper telephone lines between end-users and telephone companies.
When you connect to the Internet, you might connect through a regular modem, through a local-area network connection in your office, through a cable modem or through a digital subscriber line (DSL) connection. DSL is a very high-speed connection that uses the same wires as a regular telephone line.
Here are some advantages of DSL:
* You can leave your Internet connection open and still use the phone line for voice calls.
* The speed is much higher than a regular modem
* DSL doesn't necessarily require new wiring; it can use the phone line you already have.
* The company that offers DSL will usually provide the modem as part of the installation.
ut there are disadvantages:
* A DSL connection works better when you are closer to the provider's central office.
* The connection is faster for receiving data than it is for sending data over the Internet.
* The service is not available everywhere.
In this article, we explain how a DSL connection manages to squeeze more information through a standard phone line -- and lets you make regular telephone calls even when you're online.

Digital Subscriber Line, or DSL, is a family of technologies that provide digital data transmission over the wires of a local telephone network.
Typically, the download speed of DSL ranges from 128 kilobits per second (kbit/s) to 24,000 kbit/s depending on DSL technology and service level implemented. Upload speed is lower than download speed for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) and equal to download speed for Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line (SDSL).
