A DSL line is much higher speed. Why should I even consider a 56k leased line?
If DSL is available in your area, and your line qualifies, DSL may be the best choice for you. However, DSL is not yet universally available, and even in locations where it is available, some customers may have lines that are too long to qualify for DSL (>18,000 ft). A 56k leased line is most attractive for customers that are unable to obtain DSL or ISDN lines.
