What
is ADSL?
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) provides
high-speed digital modem technology over an existing
telephone line. ADSL transmits data in the unused
frequencies of your phone line. This lets you
use the same phone line simultaneously for Internet
access and phone calls (or faxes). No need to
dial for Internet access like with dial-up access--you
can remain connected to the Internet. Digital
technology makes it possible to send data at high
speeds over your telephone line, without affecting
your phone service.

Does
DSL require installing an additional phone line?
No. ADSL technology takes advantage of unused spectrum
(bandwidth) on your existing phone line, allowing
you to go online with your computer at the same
time you make a phone call or send a fax. |

How
does ADSL compare to cable modems?
With ADSL, there is no sharing bandwidth with your
neighborhood. Cable modems offer service over a
shared cable. Tens and possibly hundreds of users
may be connected to this local cable line. Connection
or download speed can be slowed as more users access
a cable data network. The capacity available to
any one user inevitably drops. The DSL technology
provides a dedicated connection between your home
and the Verizon central office. DSL provides dedicated
service ensuring that you don't have to share your
connection with other users.
