Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Lline
ADSL shares ordinary telephone lines by using frequencies above the voice band, but the higher frequencies interfere with regular telephone usage. The first versions required a visit from the phone company to install a POTS splitter that divides the line into separate lines for DSL and telephone. Subsequent splitterless versions (also known as G.Lite, Universal ADSL and ADSL Lite) eliminate the phone company visit, but require that the user plug DSL low-pass filters into every telephone outlet that serves ordinary telephones, answering machines and faxes.

Short for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, a technology that allows more data to be sent over existing copper telephone lines. ADSL supports data rates of from 1.5 to 9 Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data (known as the upstream rate).

ADSL refers to Assymetric Digital Subscriber Line - it makes use of your existing telephone line but uses a type of device other than your dial up modem to connect to the intenet. What makes it better than dial up is that its connection to the internet is higher than your normal DU connection that is limited to 64kpbs only. Furthermore, it's download speed is higher than the upload speed; hence it is called, assymetric. Another thing is that, you can use your existing telephone line for data, voice and video services at the same time.

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
Many times people just say "DSL"...it is a method of connecting your computer via an Internet Service Provider using your phone company versus a cable provider who offers broadband.

adsl = asynchronous digital subscriber line.
It allows you to use your phone and computer at the same time.
sdsl = synchronous digital subscriber line.
You can only use either the phone or the computer but not both at the same time.
