 DSL is the technology most commonly used by local telephone carriers for providing high-speed data services. DSL electronically
enhances the conventional copper telephone voice line, enabling it to simultaneously provide both voice service and high-speed
data traffic. While there are a number of variations of DSL, the most common residential service is asymmetric DSL, or ADLS.
The service is asymmetric because it typically provides download speeds that are faster than the upload speeds. Conventional
ADSL services offers downloads at speeds ranging from 1.5 Mbps to 5 Mbps or 8 Mbps over shorter distances. Newer technologies
being deployed can support download speeds of 20-30 Mbps.
