DSL -
Now that everyone is spending so much time on the internet, people are interested in getting the high speed connections that DSL can give. DSL is an acronym that means digital subscriber line, which is a method used to move data over telephone lines. Ironically, even though the information carried by DSL lines is digital, fiber-optic telephone wires have been unable to handle DSL information. It is telephone subscribers who are using the old-fashioned copper telephone lines who have had access to DSL long before their more affluent neighbors who have fiber-optic connections. Although the telephone company hopes you will get DSL through the local phone company, DSL connections are available through independent companies. There is also research being done to adapt DSL for use with fiber-optic cables, and in many cases it is the carrier that can offer DSL first to fiber-optic users who will get the DSL business. Until that happy day, people who want high-speed internet access will be relegated to cable internet or, infinitely worse, to satellite internet rather than DSL.
