ADSL

ADSL

Standard for transmitting data through existing copper telephone wires. ADSL was developed by US telephone companies as a way of competing with cable television companies in delivering both TV and telephone services. ADSL is one of several types of digital subscriber loops (DSLs) in use and the most popular connection for home internet access.

ADSL technology allows for rates of data transfer faster than standard modem rates. A downstream rate (rate for receiving data) of up to 9 mbps (megabytes per second) is possible, and an upstream rate (rate for sending data) of up to 1 mbps. A special ADSL modem is required to use the technology. Downstream rates of up to 24 mbps are possible with newer versions of the standard, such as ADSL2+, but these can only be achieved over short distances (as of 2006).
