Why are people so interested in DSL?
DSL eliminates many of the obstacles that prevent Internet users from making the most of their online access. Dialup hassles are eliminated with DSL’s “always on” dedicated connection. Also, DSL’s speed and reliability are particularly attractive, given the comparatively low cost associated with this option. As awareness of DSL’s benefits grows, demand is driving DSL providers to rapidly scale their networks. Analysts predict that more than 70% of U.S. homes and businesses will be able to take advantage of DSL services by 2002.
