Asymmetric digital subscriber line - data can travel down normal telephone lines over a short distance (approx 5 km). ADSL and voice can be used over the same line - check out the website for full meaning

Asyncronous Digital Subscriber Line.
It is a baseband media used for internet access. It means you have a higher download rate then upload rate. most ADSL offerings start at 768k down or even 1megabit down, but only 128k up or 256k up.
Also with ADSL you have to live within 7km of the Telco CO to be able to achieve decent download speeds
