Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL)

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a technology that uses existing phone lines to provide high-speed internet access. It is called "asymmetric" because it offers faster download speeds than upload speeds, aligning with typical user needs like streaming and browsing. ADSL separates voice calls and internet data through different frequency ranges on the same line, allowing both services to work simultaneously without interference. This makes it a convenient and cost-effective way for homes to get reliable internet without needing new cables or infrastructure.
