DSL
We've had a couple tips in
the past about DSL, but we've never really told you what it is. Have you
been wondering? Well, wonder no more, because here is a brief explanation
for you.
DSL stands for digital
subscriber line and it's basically a type of broadband Internet access
that is simply carried over a regular phone line. DSL delivers a high-speed
service and it is high on the list when compared to other broadband providers.
The only common feature between DSL and dial-up is that DSL also requires
its own modem, but you still cannot get a DSL signal from a conventional
dial-up modem.
DSL works with unused
frequencies to make a direct link from the provider to the subscriber
(you!) It has been around for over two decades and it's just now becoming
one of the more popular Internet access points. If you're interested in
getting DSL for your home, check your local phonebook for providers. If
you have any questions, give them a call and they should be able to answer
all of them for you.
So, the only question that
remains now is "Are you a DSL user"? : )
