How does DSL compare to 56 Kbps analog modems?
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. And because the connection is dedicated you will be able to host a web server whereas this is not feasible with a dial-up connection. DSL also makes it easy to connect multiple computers to one high-speed line to share the speed on that line among an entire office.
