What is DSL? DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a service that offers a faster Internet connection than a standard dial-up connection. DSL technology uses existing 2-wire copper telephone wiring to deliver high-speed data services to homes and businesses. DSL uses the existing phone line and does not require an additional phone line. This gives "always-on" Internet access and does not tie up the phone line. No more busy signals, no more dropped connections, no more waiting for someone in the household to get off the phone. DSL offers users a choice of speeds ranging from 128 Kbps to 4Mb. This is 2.5x to 73x times faster than a standard 56Kbps dial-up modem. This digital service can be used to deliver bandwidth-intensive applications like streaming audio/video, online games, application programs, telephone calling, video conferencing and other high-bandwidth services. Today DSL is for the first time putting high-speed Internet access within the reach of the home, small and medium-size businesses. DSL takes existing voice cables that connect customer premises to the phone company's central office (CO) and turns them into a high-speed digital link.     Starting August 1st, 2006 High-speed Internet Access as low as $19.95/month DSL Benefits Always-On Service Phone/Internet Simultaneously Up to 25x Times Faster Than Dial-up Modem Cost Effective No More Busy Signals No More Dropped Connections Faster Downloads Faster Games Multiple Computers on Single DSL Line Dedicated Connection & Speed
