Learn about ADSL?

The A in ADSL means asymmetric DSL. This recognizes that for home use, since people tend to be more of a consumer of data than a producer, a slower upstream (upload) speed can traded off for a faster downstream (download) speed. In addition, the ADSL standard allows for regular phone service to be squeezed into the low end of the frequency spectrum. ADSL therefore needs a splitter to be placed during installation.
