Definition of DSL

      DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. It is a broadband technology, particularly a modem, which applies the unused frequencies on the already existing copper telephone lines to supply service access to the Internet and Intranets. It allows voice and data to be sent simultaneously over the same line. This is done by taking the two wire copper telephone wiring system and the already present voice cables that connect customer premises to the phone company's central office (CO), and turning this into a high speed digital link.

      This service can be used to deliver bandwidth - intensive applications like: streaming sudio/video, telephone calling, video conferencing, online games, and other high bandwidth services.
