IS Local area Network faster then DSL?
Your LAN is your local internal network. Technically, even if you only have one PC attached to a DSL gateway, the PC, the LAN side of the gateway and the cable in between are considered to be a LAN. But, more typically, a LAN will consist of multiple PCs which can share files, printers and other network resources (like the internet connection, by including a router in the LAN). LAN network traffic speeds will depend on the speed of the slowest device the traffic has to navigate. Most computers nowadays have integrated NICs (network cards) that are rated as 10/100/1000 cards, which means they can function at speeds up to 1000 Megabits per second, which is FAR faster than your DSL connection. ADSL speeds will range, based on a number of factors, between 1 and 3.5 Megabits per second upstream and between 8 and 24 Megabits per second down.
