Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line is a technology that provides broadband Internet access over a standard residential or small office telephone line, at speeds that are an order of magnitude faster than the best dialup modem connection.
ADSL is a revolutionary shift in the way you access the Internet. Unlike traditional modem based 'dialup' access, ADSL is an always-on technology, which means that you don't have to wait to connect up - your computer is always 'on the net'.
ADSL operates through your standard telephone line without interrupting your use of the telephone. You can place and receive telephone calls at the same time as you use the Internet. You do not need a second telephone line, and you will never have to 'dial up' again!
