Is DSL similar to a “dial-up” connection?
No. DSL does not “dial-up” to the Internet. Once your DSL service is installed on your telephone line, the DSL modem provides you with a constant connection to the Internet, eliminating the “dial-up” process. The connection is made between your computer and the DSL modem, and by clicking on your browser, you have an instant connection to the Internet. The slow, busy sound of your old modem is a thing of the past.
