DSL 
 Digital subscriber line is a family of technologies that 
provide internet access by transmitting digital data using a 
local telephone network which uses the Public switched telephone 
network. 
 DSL service is delivered simultaneously with wired telephone 
service on the same telephone line. 
 This is possible because DSL uses higher frequency bands for data. 
 The bit rate of consumer DSL services typically ranges from 
256 kbit/s to over 100 Mbit/s in the direction to the customer 
(downstream), depending on DSL technology, line conditions, and 
service-level implementation. 
 The ability to use the phone to make or receive calls while 
connected to the Internet.

DSL Speed of Downloading and 
Uploading 
Your DSL speed can change depending on how you use the network.DSL 
providers often advertise speed of their service using a combination of two 
bandwidth numbers; for example, "1.5 Mbps / 128 Kbps:“ 
 The first number, 1.5 Mbps in this case, refers to the maximum bandwidth 
available for downloads. Examples of network download activities include 
browsing Web sites, receiving files fromP2P networks, and receiving emails. 
 The second number, 128 Kbps in this case, corresponds to the bandwidth 
available for uploads. Example of network upload activities include 
publishing to Web sites, sending files over a P2P network, and sending 
emails.

Types of DSL 
 Asymmetric DSL: Asymmetric types of DSL connections 
provide more network bandwidth for downloading than 
for uploading. Typical asymmetric DSL services support 
5 Mbps for downloads and 1 Mbps for uploads. 
 Symmetric DSL: Symmetric types of DSL connections 
provide equal bandwidth for both uploads and downloads. 
Symmetric DSL technology is popular for business-class DSL 
services as companies often have greater needs for 
transferring data. Typical symmetric DSL connections 
support 1.5 Mbps for downloads and uploads. 
 Other Types of DSL: IDSL is a hybrid DSL / ISDN technology 
developed along with other types of DSL but rarely used 
nowadays due to the relatively low speeds (128 Kbps 
maximum data rate) it supports.

Advantage 
Integration: DSL will easily interface with 
ATM, Nx64, and WAN technology. 
Telecommuting may get even easier. 
Cheap line charges from the phone company. 
High bandwidth 
11/10/2014 5
Disadvantage 
Very new technology 
Limited availability 
Expensive: Most customers are not willing to spend more 
than $20 to $25 per month for Internet access. Current 
installation costs, including the modem, can be as high as 
$750.

ADSL 
 Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) is a type of digital 
subscriber line (DSL) technology, a data communications 
technology that enables faster data transmission 
over copper telephone lines. 
 A splitter, or DSL filter, allows a single telephone connection to 
be used for both ADSL service and voice calls at the same time. 
 At the telephone exchange the line generally terminates at 
a digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM) where 
another frequency splitter separates the voice band signal for the 
conventional phone network. 
 ADSL communication is full-duplex.

ADSL Speed of Downloading and 
Uploading 
The top speed for ADSL lines is around 5 
mbit/sec for the download, and 1 mbit/sec 
for the upload. 
11/10/2014 8
Advantage 
Cable is a better connection overall. It is 
faster and more reliable. 
ADSL is more secure, Cable is faster, and 
usually has better package deals. 
Faster downloads compared to dial-up or 
ISDN. 
No need for a second phone line - by allowing 
voice and data transfer at the same time (you 
can use the phone as normal while connected 
to the internet). 
ADSL doesn't need to convert the data from 
digital to analogue and back again. 
11/10/2014 9
Disadvantage 
 This service is not available in all locations. 
 ADSL connections are not available to everyone. 
 ADSL connections are Always on you will need a firewall 
to protect your PC.
