DSL is significantly faster than a 56 Kbps modem. Also, DSL is always on so there is no need to dial up to connect to the Internet. With DSL, there are no more busy signals, and no dropped connections. And because the connection is dedicated, a user can host a Web server, which is not feasible with a dial-up connection. DSL also makes it easy to connect multiple computers to one high-speed line in order to share the speed on that line among an entire office.
