What does DSL stand for?
Digital Subscriber Line. DSL is a modem technology that transforms ordinary phone lines (also known as “twisted copper pairs”) into high-speed digital lines for ultra-fast Internet access. DSL also enables access to corporate networks for telecommuters, as well as exciting new interactive multimedia applications such as multiplayer gaming, video on demand and video catalogs. Q: What is CCI Net DSL service? A: CCI Net DSL gives you high-speed Internet access by converting your existing analog phone line into a high-speed digital phone line. Using ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) technology, CCI Net DSL delivers up to 1.5 megabits per second connection rates (which is up to 50 times faster than a standard 28.8Kbps dial-up modem).
DSL stands for “digital subscriber line.” This is to differentiate it from signals over the traditional phone network. Unlike these traditional phone signals, DSL signals only travel from the provider, to the subscriber. Thus the connection is direct. Unlike voice signals, which are analog, a DSL signal is digital, thus the “D” in DSL. For more information, see “What is DSL?
Digital Subscriber Line When you connect to the Internet, you might connect through a regular modem, through a local-area network connection in your office, through a cable modem or through a digital subscriber line (DSL) connection. DSL is a very high-speed connection that uses the same wires as a regular telephone line. Here are some advantages of DSL: * You can leave your Internet connection open and still use the phone line for voice calls. * The speed is much higher than a regular modem * DSL doesn’t necessarily require new wiring; it can use the phone line you already have. * The company that offers DSL will usually provide the modem as part of the installation. But there are disadvantages: * A DSL connection works better when you are closer to the provider’s central office. The farther away you get from the central office, the weaker the signal becomes. * The connection is faster for receiving data than it is for sending data over the Internet. * The service is not available eve
The acronym DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. This type of service uses different digital coding methods to allow phone lines to provide a great deal more bandwidth than would normally be possible. This broadband Internet access is for the most part “always on” and provides upload speeds from 128 Kbps to 768 Kbps and download speeds from 768 Kbps to 6 Mbps. Speeds differ due to several variables including service provider, equipment, and location.
