There are many technologies used to deliver broadband to your home or office, like Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), Cable, Satellite, Fiber and Wireless.  DSL is the technology that transmits data over the copper lines that brought telephones to homes and offices. Being a widespread network, DSL reaches many corners of the country where other technologies cannot. The connection emanates from the phone wall jack of your existing telephone network. As it works works within the frequencies that the telephone doesn’t, there is no overlap between the two and both can be used simultaneously. DSL internet is frequently compared with cable internet,as thatis the other network with a fairly large reach. Both have their advantages as well as disadvantages: Speed – DSL generall maxes out at 400 MBPS download speed, which is more than adequate for most househo;ld requirements. Cable can deliver gig speed dpownloads. Bottlenecks – DSL is a dedicated network, not affected by the internet usage of others. Cable, on the other hand, is a shared line; speed could be thrittled if your neighbors decide to connect at the same time. Cost – Both being established networks, are fairly reasonably priced.
